Ohio in the logo Graphic wizards

Post by Globetrotter »

I was thinking the other day that it might be cool if we had an outline of the state of Ohio as the bottom part of the G in the BG logo. Any graphic wizards able to throw that together?

Not what you were requesting, but I have this image sitting around. I like when the state is included, I know Kent has the outline on the back of their football helmets....

Thats pretty sweet.

I envision something where the Bottom part of the G is cut out of an Ohio logo. I think if BG embraced Ohio, that would be a good thing.

Or even if the Falcon Logo on the bottom was the bottom part of Ohio?

The state of Bowling Green might include a piece of Indiana and MAYBE even Michigan,...just to be different.

I played around with it some. I think this is what you were thinking of Globe. It looks awkward. I don't like it, but I'll post it anyway (and if for some copyright reason I need to take it down please let me know and I will do so.) Cool idea but when done it looks to me like someone took a bite out of the logo ...

I think your work looks awesome, but I agree there is something awkward about it. Not sure if its because I am so used to the old one or if it really looks bad. But great work.

I think it is because there is an elegance to the logo. Any alterations, even small ones, stand out since they detract from that elegance.

I like it a lot too, but I worry that only people who recognize the state of Ohio outline will get it. Given the state of geography education today they'll think it's the droppings left by the bird.

It was a five minute gimp (open source take on photoshop) job. I can't say I really like it at all. In fact I far prefer DD's Ohio BG logo.
