According to this article,  we will need to scrap $450k of signs on the new USF health building and buy replacements.

 So, I take it that you don’t consider $100,000,000 later, too late.  BTW, what make you think that Joe Hice did’t think it was necessary to change the logo?

You may have forgotten the decimal point. Think it was closer to $1million.

I would love to see the math being used to come up with the million dollar cost vs what we had booked on our depreciation schedule for the project.

It’s definitely closer to a million but I think the left off a few of the first digits. Just making the stupid thing was over $200k and just the cost to one building was $450k.

Who cares if it’s $1 mil? It will still be the best money the school has ever spent in its history...

This is exactly what I think it was. I think she wanted this as the cherry on top for the great Academic progress she had made with the University.  Either she intimidated people into doing it anyways or she was just surrounded by yes men who wanted to give this to her out of good will or just general brown nosing.  Considering the nearly universal condemnation of the logo from anyone not involved in the process on Fowler avenue you can't convince me this was anything more than somebody's vanity project.  Now if that was Judy or someone who had her ear enough to just ram this thing through come hell or high water we'll probably never know.   All I know is there is no way in hell this thing was vetted properly before they decided to roll it out....   

I thought an article was posted from somewhere else about how this was Judy's baby and Judy's alone.

It was her attempt to top Lifesy House.

Great great academic gains and growth for the university but this was a very public gaffe at the end of her tenure.

This will be USF's New Coke moment...we need to start labeling the U with "Classic" underneath it.

Good investment since the logo sucks.
