Not bad, but I want to say it looks like another school's logo, though I can't think of who.

It's really not.

The shading on the back of the head/neck, the shape of the beak...all the same. Even the lines over the eyes are very similar. The only real difference is the mouth is slightly open.

I like it. It is similar to NCCU's, but they're both eagle's heads, so they can only be so dissimilar. It will look nice as a finished product.

Very amateurish. Appears to be drawn in pencil? Also, I don't like the chosen backdrop for the logo...having the eagle in front of an inventory sheet is just a bizarre choice.

D- overall.

I like the current logo USM has. Let's be honest, you can only re-draw an eagle, tiger, bulldog mascot so many times before the designs start to overlap each other.

I don't like it. The beak doesn't look right for some reason.

funny you mentioned that....he acknowledged that before I said anything....

we also agreed the chicken logo and 'southern miss' moniker is stale..

To all, thanks for the suggestions and feedback.

XACLY!

so...are you saying you like the '80s script that we are apparently now stuck with....just leave everything as is?

just stick with old school and remain status quo?

Sorry, Stink ,but i don't like it. The beak is only part of the problem (way too much overhang, even compared to an Eagle's natural hook in their beak, your friend drew it way too comical). The eye doesn't even look like it's there...

Look at any photo of an eagle, and you can't miss seeing the eyes, even the dark colored eyes still stand out.

It's a logo. Many logos have exaggerated features.
