This morning the Wesmen unveiled their bold new look. The logo that was selected was the choice of 62% of those that took part in the Wesmen New Logo Contest. Thanks to Jonato Dalayoan, Bill Crossman, and the design team at Guppy Graphic Design. What were they thinking when they were designing the winning logo...?
Well, from the mouth of Guppy:
"Any good sport team logo must have equal parts of dynamism, power, and energy to represent the action that happens on the ice, field or court and the new University of Winnipeg Wesmen logo has all of those qualities and more.
A unique and edgy custom font was created to bring the Wesmen up to date as well as provide an easily recognizable and distinguishable brand in the university sport marketplace. This type was then skewed with a dynamic perspective adding a jolt of high-energy action representative of all Wesmen teams past and future. The bold red, black, and silver colours are fresh and contemporary and also washed with the Wesmen history adding fuel to the energetic fire."
Go Wesmen... your REAL home team!
Congratulations to Anna Borys who was chosen from all of the winning contest ballots. Anna was presented with her $500 cash prize this morning at the unveiling
