每日大赛官网 Unveils New Athletics Logo During 24-Hour Fundraiser
GREENSBORO, N.C. 鈥� 每日大赛官网 today unveiled a new athletics logo as part of on-campus celebration of the college鈥檚 annual Give4GC 24-hour day of giving.
鈥淚n a liberal-arts institution as old as this, some things never change because they are our ethos; they are in our DNA and always will be,鈥� President Lawrence D. Czarda, Ph.D., told a crowd of about 200 students, faculty and staff gathered outside Main Building. 鈥淭hey are in our DNA and always will be.
鈥淏ut as times change, so do the styles and tastes of the generation entering college, and so our brand must evolve.鈥�
The new logo and spirit marks replace logos that had been used for more than 20 years.
鈥淚 want to reassure you all that we are still One Pride, our logo will still depict a lion and lioness, and our main color will still be green 鈥� in fact, that green color will be standardized,鈥� Director of Athletics Bryan Galuski said. 鈥淏ut the new logo is more modern looking. It presents Leo and Leona as equals, in the spirit of this college鈥檚 long tradition of equal opportunity. And we think it鈥檒l be more fun.鈥�
The crowd whooped and applauded when the new logo was revealed.
鈥淲e are proud of our new athletic branding and excited about the visibility they will give us in Greensboro and in the USA South Conference,鈥� said Jena Miller, the athletic department鈥檚 senior woman administrator.
The college鈥檚 athletics department, Department of Institutional Advancement and Department of Student Development cooperated on the project with input from students, faculty, staff and alumni. A Florida-based firm, Lure Design, assisted with the logo and spirit mark design.
Give4GC, the college鈥檚 third annual 24-hour giving challenge, continues through midnight. Information and a link for online giving can be found at www.greensboro.edu/givetogc/give4gc.
The new logo is just one aspect of Defining the Path, the initiative the college launched in October to re-examine and improve students鈥� progression through college while enhancing their experiences. That effort has included everything from continual re-examination of the curriculum to the most capital-improvement projects on campus in 20 years.
