Re: Team Logos/Mascots

We've stuck with the same logo for our 4 years of existence and I really think it has helped us with brand identification. Our school, and many of the community recognize our logo from our T-Shirts, robots, and visual media. We use it on PSA's we've done, and its also a large part of our effort for the imagery award. We pull colors out of the logo and use it for our team colors, which really styles up your robot and our overall appearance, keeping things consistant.

As you said, it allows you to re-wear shirts from previous years without anybody noticing. Also, it saves costs with screenprinting as it is a 3 color logo, but we've been able to re-use the screens from the previous years. We just make a new 1 color back that lists our sponsors and we're good to go.

I would strongly recommend sticking to the same logo, perhaps with slight modifications, after our experiences. I doubt most of our members would allow us to change the logo if we wanted to, as its an integral part of our team anymore.
