To be fair, there isn't a think pertaining to ODU that doesn't get continuously complained about.

Your showing off your new class.... but you can't see half of their faces.
Your a recruit who just signed and you want to share an image with a friend.... "yeah, you can't really see its me... but I'm ONE of the guys behind the big dark mask."
Not impressive.

I think it's dark, edgy, "intense" if you will, and that's what kids dig. If you're a car guy/gal you'll know what I mean when I say it's murdered out.

Got this e-mail today regarding it:
Dear Old Dominion Community:
Starting last summer, Old Dominion University undertook a new Branding Initiative. As part of this project, more than 200 in-person interviews were conducted with students, alumni, and faculty/staff--including Faculty Senate representatives, all deans, and faculty from every academic college--and an online survey was administered to students, alumni, faculty/staff and the Board of Visitors.
Using the feedback you provided, we partnered with our new agency, 160over90, to develop a brand strategy that will guide our marketing campaigns and materials. Giovanna M. Genard, assistant vice president of strategic communication and marketing, and representatives from 160over90 look forward to sharing what we heard from you, as well as the proposed brand strategy and creative concepts, and hearing your feedback during two Brand Initiative Open Forums next week.
These forums are open to all members of the ODU community and no reservations are needed:
Tuesday, Feb. 6 at 1:30 p.m. in the Hampton/Newport News Rooms, Webb University Center
Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 2 p.m. in the Chesapeake/Portsmouth/Virginia Beach Rooms, Webb University Center
We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Dr. Augustine O. Agho Dr. Ellen J. Neufeldt
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Vice President of Student Engagement & Enrollment Services
So I was unable to attend these meetings due to having to meet with professors at the same time. Perhaps somebody else was able to make it, or they will post the info somewhere.

Looks like “Idea Fusion” has been replaced by “The Place for Innovators”...

RE: ODU Brand/Image Improvement Thread
I like leading with "innovation"... its certainly more encompassing, and much stronger academically than "diversity". But if we are going to plant the ODU brand flag on "innovation" we need to pay it off. Every program should push students to think beyond the current best practices, every building should be using the latest cutting edge technology and resources, our research should be ground breaking and students from undergrad to PhD should be having hands on learning experiences with top researchers and new ground breaking ideas. VT branded itself with "innovation" a while ago, but they were able to prove it by highlighting and publicizing the way their innovations were changing things... from health sciences, to agriculture to engineering etc. I think this can be a successful path for ODU, but we will need to actually follow through with it, and make it known. Otherwise its just words on paper and more BS that will be called out within 3 or 4 years.

RE: ODU Brand/Image Improvement Thread
Innovation->Technology->Engineering. Forget all this art crap ODU has been putting money into. For a long time ODU was known as the second best engineering school in the state. I still believe that is true and we need to push engineering and science on incoming kids. There is nothing worse than giving out useless degrees. Tech has plenty of different degrees but they are known for engineering. We should get back to that model.

RE: ODU Brand/Image Improvement Thread
I agree. We have more ODU engineering graduates than VT now, by quite a lot. When I started that was not the case. We need to be seen as the #2 in the state at minimum.
Edit: I meant at my firm.

Ms Price said in her email some art work is intended for the younger crowd and some for the older, money crowd. Could explain the difference.

Or perhaps the Barrys and others didn't want to donate their millions to bolster Engineering. I think ODU will take major donations to support multiple educational missions, as most other institutions do.
