Impressive. It is nice they spelled Bates correctly.

I’ve seen a lot of bobcats in the wild here in CA deserts and mountains, but never one that looked distinguished,scholarly, pensive or blissful. The new mascot will certainly provide some relief for adversaries on the gridiron, courts, diamond and track.

Class of 2007. Love the new logo. It’s perfect. It’s clean and precise. I’ve seen some other Skye Design work and we got this guy before he explodes and is doing much bigger and much better.

I’ll echo what others have said: when you hear about a new logo, you worry that the new one won’t be good. However, I really like this new one. In fact, I like it so much better than the one that we used to have. Whether or not you think that it is distinguished, I do think that it looks much classier than the previous one. Good job to all who were involved in choosing this. Go Bobcats!

Beautiful new logo. The samples shown on the survey were totally underwhelming, and i was worried about the potential outcome. But this one is excellent and successfully avoids the common error of collegiate logos designed only for the sports teams and appealing primarily to current students. This one works for alumni and parents too. I’ll be proud to wear Bateswear with this new look. Nice work!!

Very nice job – regal and elegant – and the font is great too. Somehow I don’t think I’ll forget the designer’s name.

Go Bobcats! The pictures reminded me of cheering on Fred Criniti (’82) and his teammates.

I like it. It’s a much better reimaging than we did here at Boston University. Our relatively new mascot is Rhett, a mean, rabid Boston terrier who looks perpetually angry.
