Knights are suppose to be "too mean."

Also, the longer name and the very "busy" logo (seen below) was almost impossible to produce in small images which made getting any merchandise made almost impossible.




Ignore the Right here, right now lines...look at the top busy logo...and just imagine what it would look like if it was a 2 inch logo on a golf shirt?


The old logo/name was so "busy" (especially in a small image for golf shirts, hats, etc...), merchandisers would just take off the word Golden, and this logo was common, even though our official name after 93 was the Golden Knights:

A good graphic designer could have resolved this concern.





Using gold in the logo eliminates having to include the word “Golden” or make the word smaller.

Now that UCF is a much larger institution and has moved up from the Div I-AA ranks like it was back in 1993, one of the best decisions UCF's former AD Keith Tribble ever made was to rebrand UCF, reclaim the KNIGHTS nickname, and come up with new, much more clearer/sharper logos which are easily recognizable anywhere:



The above logo is too plain in my opinion. The helmet should be incorporated into the letter “C” ….

UCF doesn't waqnt to emphasize the "central" so why would they use a "C"? It looks awful on central michigan's helmet. I like the UCF or the head logo. Not a fan of just putting a C on the helmet and calling it a day.

I must didn't explain myself clearly.... Incorporate the Knights helmet into the letter "C" since "UCF" is used on the helmet. In fact, the javelin could be incorporated into the letter "F".
