Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I like the lettering better than the dragon head too. The dragon head shouldn't be plastered everywhere. The building is seen from blocks around. It should be labeled as UAB, not a logo.

True, it does look clean and professional compared to script A's or elephants.

Looks fine to me. Prefer UAB outside the building than the logo.

I know you are being sarcastic but the script "A" really is a nice look. The elephant......not so much....lol

Sorry,I did not mean to upset anyone,just having a little fun. The UAB logo does represent well. Looks nice

I actually like the change to the UAB logo rather than Blaze on the outside of the building. There is a large Blaze logo in on of the bookstore renderings.

I'm sure you didn't upset anyone...lol. I meant sarcastic in a funny way.

I really like the look of the prow when coming down University going East. Goes well with the prow of the Rec Center. Also, love all the glass on the University side. Overall, I think they are doing a great job.

Every other building has the UAB logo instead of Blaze on it. If you read the university guidelines about Blaze it's only supposed to be used for athletics related things. Don't read anything into it if the UAB letters are on the building when it's done.

As with the car tags, why must we have only one or the other? Why can't the UAB be shown with the logo to promote both as equals to the public?

Because I graduated from a school called UAB. I didn't graduate from a dragon head. The letters is an identifier on almost every other UAB building. It is meant for information, not to promote anything.

Trivia question.

Why was the Humanities Bldg designed with open balconies?

They are both just renders.

There wasn't a problem having a giant dragon head at its predecessor.

Easy access to the ground during finals week?

It wasn't because of protesters during the 60s/70s.

This made me laugh out loud.

To smoke?

... Speaking of which, is there ever going to be a new Humanities Building?
