Don't like it. Maybe it'll grow on me. Heard the flaming W is going on our baseball caps this year. I dislike that one the most. Maybe it'll grow on me...

I've had the opportunity to see them in color, courtesy of an early leak on the school website and they look better in color. To me they have a Hornets vibe. Could have turned out much worse.

The current logo has been around for a while. I'm okay with the change, but will surely hold on to some of my gear with the retro logo. The new logos will take time to grow on those of us that have known the current logo. I'm not super high on any of them, but I don't think they're awful so I know it'll grow on me. Like UNCWSuperFan, I like the new font.

Old 70s has been around long enough to see quite a few logos. I even remember seeing the one that looked like a flying parrot wearing a sailor cap.
I'd like to see the new logo in color before commenting on it.
But generally speaking, have you ever witnessed (or heard of) anyone -aside from an already converted fan - seeing the current logo and saying, "Oh! That's cool! I have to get a cap/shirt/whatever with that on it!"? I haven't.
The UNCW logo has never crossed over into the popular consciousness like, say (and I can't believe I'm citing this example) the Duke "D". Therefore it (like its predecessors) is disposable.
So, to me, the question is: Will the new logo cross over into the popular consciousness? If so, then changing logos will have been a home run.
If not, it will be just another flying parrot with a sailor cap.

I LIKE IT.
We needed something with some ferocity. I can picture it on license plates, caps, shirts, etc. I especially like the flaming W. Don't want a logo that requires the UNCW letters on it to be recognized, and the W addresses that.

I actually really like the W diving bird. I don't think it's on fire like some of you are suggesting, but I think those are wing feathers in the shape of a W. Looks awesome though.
