Dive Summary:
- Daniel M. Dooley, senior vice president for external relations at the University of California (UC) Office of the President, announced today that the university would suspend use of its controversial new logo.
- The decision follows widespread criticism of the logo from students, alumni and the UC community.
From the statement:
"... Since it debuted in the past year, this new "look" has served the UC system well, replacing what was a clutter of dated materials that varied from UCOP department to department. And it has received praise from an array of accomplished design experts not affiliated with the university.
And yet, while I believe the design element in question would win wide acceptance over time, it also is important that we listen to and respect what has been a significant negative response by students, alumni and other members of our community. ..."
