Funny how people find things to complain about comparing similar logos.

You could say the same for Alabama, Arkansas and Atlanta Braves "A" logos. Hell, Arkansas and Alabama even have the same colors. The list could go, on and on and on and on.......

Arkansas


Alabama


Atlanta


There's no perfect solution. Just about every 100% original idea imaginable has been used at this point. All we have is slight variations of the same .

OK...except we're talking about the new American logo...which looks like a bad rip off of UT Arlington's logo.

No contest. Definitely CUSA #1, Mac 2nd, MWC 3rd, Sunbelt 4th, AAC 5th. The AAC just stole the "A" from Appalachian States and added a star in the middle.

MWC

I reckon its a front-on image of a turbine jet engine. The two tone is because its facing into the sun and there's glare off of some turbine blades but not others.

Hands down the best logo is the Mountain West.

The MAC logo is pretty pedestrian, but given our stability the graphic design of the logo is not such a big deal.

Who has the WORST P5 logo? I say the SEC.

I can't really say which one is the best. I will say the Sun Belt logo sucks though.

I like the MAC, but the colors always remind me of the MLS logo.



And then the PAC whatever comes along and steals our shield.



Imitation / Flattery yada yada.

MW and CUSA look like cable channel logos to me.

I like the MAC but it does have a soccer league feel to it. I give them props for working in the year the conf was founded and the 5 point star to represent the 5 original members (Butler, Cinci, Ohio, Wayne, Western Reserve).

I thought the it was for the 5 states that the MAC full time members are in.

No bias, right?

I think CUSA's would look better if they softened it a bit by dropping the white accents and eliminating the thick black border. I'd also like to see what it'd look like without being italicized.

Since its the MAC, I think that the founding history is more likely.

I think the c-USA logo looks nice and simple at #1. The new AAC logo is ok #2. To be honest I hate the MWC, Sun Belt, and MAC's logo. Hard to say what is the worst one out of the group.

1. MAC
2. CUSA
3. AAC
4. SBC
5. MWC

MAC is the best (of the 5 choices) by a mile.

Mtn. the worst, but just a bit worse than the new Sun Belt.

C-USA and AAC both decent: non-terrible and non-memorable.

I could be wrong, the 5 states thing makes since too. I don't remember where I heard it was the founding 5.

I tried to find the announcement article but couldn't find anything.

The other thing that makes me skeptical about the five states is that the MAC Presidents do not like risk, and if its the states with full members, then future changes could make that six or seven states.

MWC logo looks cool when it's in team colors, the purple/grey is bland. It looks cool in Fresno, Boise, SDSU, SJSU, Wyo etc colors.

I don't really care about the colors, its the shape I like.

I can see how those who like the colors more like a cartoon would not like either the MWC in the Go5 or the XII in the P5.
