Yeah, now THAT'S some orange!
I agree the the tops are frickin' sweet. I don't know what it is, but the really shield fits for soccer.

wow, those girls look young!...................
to think of all the frosh girls on campus I was having fun with 35 years ago, you mean they all looked that young too ?
good thing I was 17-18 years old as well
Well one is a junior and the other is a redshirt junior, so they're 20ish.

Looks good! It reminds me of the Philadephia Flyers logo.

huh. kinda prefer the old "wholesome" dayton logo. just something about it matched with it being a midwest school in a medium-sized midwest city, if that makes sense.
new logo tries to do too much with the bird outline between blue wings and red "d" along with other stiff i may not even be seeing.
just my unprofessional opinion. i'm not crazy about our "1LL1N01S" font either, though i love the football jerseys and helmets.

I like that new logo much better than their old.

I like the basic idea, but I'm confused by what's going on with the back of the D. Not the blue tails but the actual D and those weird jagged angles. Am I missing something? Is that supposed to be representative of something like a jet?

It's a little rough around the edges, but I think this makes more sense visually. Maybe it's just my taste.

Me too. I tried looking at it from arm's length thinking that I would see something then. I didn't. I'm not sure what they had before was a "logo" so it is better in that sense.

Definitely an improvement, but I feel like there should be something in the wing and negative space that I'm missing.This may not be the best place to put this but it shows how another rebranding:

According to the release PR, it would seem that all the funny angles and negative space were just supposed to make it look interesting and unique. Apparently there is no extra meaning.

I and many others think they missed an opportunity to get an airplane image in the negative space of the D.
Seems like a no brainer that they passed on

A little similar. When I first saw the Dayton Logo, this is what I thought of.

Malaysian Airlines logo unfortunately. When I saw the new Dayton logo, it was the first thing I thought of since the 2 tragedies.

Should have tried to do something with that negative space, one would think.

Youd think so. I was actually looking for something and just thought I wasnt seeing it until someone said there actually isnt anything.

Um, that new Dayton logo is atrocious. The old one was too, but how can anyone like that new one? All I see is "Venereal Disease" when I look at that. I can't be the only one. Not to mention, it's just ugly to begin with. To be fair, I've never been a fan of red, white, and blue for sports teams.
