I was concerned when I designed the Badgers logo for Brock University Athletics many years ago that it might not be embraced by the students at the university or other end-users. As it turns out it’s still going strong and it’s nice to see it not only around the campus, but all over the place on everything from beer cans to curling brooms and anywhere a logo can get stuck. It’s so popular in fact that it’s been knocked-off any number of times, some with greater success than others. I’ll take it as a compliment.

I’m basically ok with this one, someone did a decent job. It’s actually a little tougher than mine. I tried the red eyes originally, but the clients thought they were a bit frightening.

Dropping a border around it is a nice touch. I might have tried to do a better job of trimming “Brock” off the top, but I’m finicky that way.

I wonder if the Manhattan Badgers ever have to play against the Badlands Badgers. Awkward.
