Thread: What do you guys think of a new school logo?

I know you guys will think I have too much time on my hands...and I did for about 10 minutes when I put it together, but I was looking at MUA's current round school seal, and it seems to be easily confused with other Caribbean schools, and there is nothing else in the seal itself than the snakes on a rod (what is the proper name for that, by the way?)

But anyway...how receptive do you think the administration/students would be to a suggestion of a more updated, more professional (but kind of bland, according to Unaccomplished ) :-P (thanks for taking the time to look at it, btw) logo such as the one I've attached?


(Please move to appropriate forum if this doesn't belong here; Thanks )

AUC has a similar logo, as well as a logo with the caduceus.

Your logo would be cool if it incorporated Doraemon....

PS...nice work, though!

Thanks

I would've never thought Doraemon would be known to most people on ValueMD, but I've been proven wrong! Doraemon rocks!

Actually, that symbol is not the caduceus. The caduceus is the staff, with the snake that has wings on it. It was adopted by the American military around 50-60 years ago. Mostly medical goods companies use that symbol. It has a questionable origin, mostly Pagan symbols with this symbol, also known as the caduceus of Mercury. The staff with the snake on it, however is different. It is the staff of Asclepius. He was considered the Roman god of healing ( son of Apollo). His healing powers were so great that Zeus felt threatened and struck him down with lightening. In fact, if you dig a little further, you will see that even Hippocrates starts off his oath to Asclepius and his daughters, Hygiea and Panacea (Hygene and all healing).

Look at the AMA webiste, this is their emblem. Most physicians use the staff, whereas commerce companies use the caduceus.

PS... Make sure that the administration doesn't have a problem with you creating a school logo without their consent. I am making a patch now for lab jackets, but I must send the school a sample before it is approved for me to sell to other students.

Thanks, I stand corrected.

A new school logo/symbol and perhaps even a mascot is in the works.... (Like the goats or something! lol) The med 5 class will be having a fund raiser later in the year to help pay for their graduation that will involve the selling of MUA wear, like tshirts, sweatshirts etc..

Conway, i like your logo, however I feel like it is a little plain for my taste!

A mascot, eh? Hmm...would it/he/she be cheering us on while we take exams? :-P

When I made the logo, it was purely out of fun, and I was thinking that if others liked it, I might forward it to the administration and they could do with it as they please. As of now, I don't intend on putting that logo anywhere or on anything to sell. The only place I've put it so far is the Facebook group I created a while ago.

Hmm...too bland, eh? Any suggestions? I was trying to think of a school seal that would incorporate symbols of medicine, the Caribbean sea/climate, clinicals in the US, and perhaps something w/ the future?

I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT TALENT WE HAVE HERE

I called the admin on this weeks ago. They have contracts with vendors on making apparel. Believe it or not, we had some cool shirts and jackets at my chiro school. I wanted to copy some styles and make some MUA stuff, but they said that was out, as of now.

I have a local printer that could make us some great, top of the line stuff at a great price. We will see...

John, some MUA clothes would be cool, right?

Id like a corduroy g string with the MUA logo on the front.. Either that, or an elephants trunk!
