Two buzzer beaters to end each half and Hawaii walked away with the victory!

Yes, this is for real as four UCI instructors “will take you on an inter-disciplinary academic journey deep into the world of AMC’s The Walking Dead.” The cost of attendance is free but a weekly time commitment is expected along with quizzes.

Can you imagine a horde of undead anteaters chasing you down? Truly frightening.

While I do think an updated look is in order, the new monogram might be a tad too progressive. I do like how this video explains the design inspirations.

I think the initial choice of colors might have made the new look harder to embrace, but I do like the color variations shown in the video.

New UC Logo

But really, how can this logo compete with the good old Anteater of UC Irvine? Now this is a logo (and mascot)!

UCI Anteater

iolani_logo1Just last year, my other alma mater underwent a similar update with its school logo. Joining the traditional, circular seal is this clean, modern logo.

From a visual point of view, the newer UC (and Iolani) logos are much easier to use and see. The details of the crest and seals just aren’t discernible. I think some killer logo items would quickly change opinions about the UC monogram. Can’t wait to see some new UCI gear.
