But this change has caused quite a stir in the university community. Enough so that there’s now a push to have the logo removed.  A petition’s being circulated calling for the new logo’s “quick, painful death.”

KCRW’s Steve Chiotakis speaks with Libby Gill, a brand strategist in Los Angeles, on what goes into a successful – or unsuccessful design change.

    They really should have had more student input before moving forward with this new logo. It's not surprising there is a backlash, and its doubful that its even 'sudden'.
