(Last updated: 01/21/10 11:09pm)What do you think of the new MSU Spartans helmet logo?
“It seems nice. It seems more defined with more curve. I like it better than the old one, it’s more ‘300’-ish, like the movie. It’s a better logo.”

“I like the original one. It’s tradition mostly that makes me want to have the originals intact. The new one looks cool, but I’d like to see the original one kept.”

“I like them both the same. I don’t think this one is better by any means, but I don’t think it’s worse. I wouldn’t look at this and be like ‘Oh, why did they do that?’”
Eric Huffman
journalism junior
“I actually don’t like it as much as the other one because it doesn’t have as much detail to it and it looks more aggressive I guess, but I like the way the other one is.”

music education sophomore
“I don’t think the second one compares to the original one. I’d have to go with the original, but (the new one) is nice.”

01/22/10 9:01pmWho approved this ugy thing, and the money it wilL take to implement? if my contributions to MSU are going to fund such b.s., then they just got my last dime. Oh, by the way, you can take me off the bookstore mailing list too, since I won’t be buying anything with the new logo.

01/23/10 12:22amWhat? You have raised the tuition, laid people off, frozen salary increases and you have the audacity to spend hundreds of thousands of MSU dollars “rebranding” products with a different Spartan helmet? How did this asinine waste of money even make it onto a meeting agenda? This is a university, not a soft drink company. Take a lesson from other respected places of higher education who don’t bow to peer pressure and sales pitches from ad firms trying to make a buck.
