Are there any teams wit a puma as there mascot that use a paw print logo? Also, why do you have to be so negative? We were just messing around with ideas we have. Doesn't hurt anything to screw around with thoughts and ideas does it? Its the people who shoot them down before any serious thought that keep progress from ever being made. Optimism is never a bad thing my good man.

Forget the bookstore, what about PantherU? Hmm... shoot me a message either here or on facebook. Hey look, that paw even has a shout-out to Peoria! Looks more like Moline or Rock Island to me. ;D

As for the logo, how do you feel about It being a cross between the two. Less defined but still more of a resemblance of the shape of Wisconsin. As far as the image i came up with do you really get mangled from it? I almost thought it looked kinda tough, but thats just my and my friends opinion. The goal is to make it look as much like Wisconsin as possible, so I'm sure there's a happy medium somewhere, but if it looks too much like the state, it not only looks too forced, but emphasizes Wisconsin over Milwaukee and Panthers, which is the opposite of what I'd want to do. I appreciate your feedback. It was kinda fun to come up with. I have plans of trying to come up with a U of M text logo and/or a UM logo. Just for the heck of it. Can't wait to see your more completed versions. I think it would be fun to bounce ideas back and forth with this sort of thing. I have always been the most intrigued by this kind of thing. Glad i met someone else who enjoys it too. Would you believe I already have a UM monogram? i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc382/illwauk/UWM/um_mono.png

Optimism is never a bad thing my good man. I don't mean to thwart your creativity. Truthfully, I really like many of illwauk's art ideas. I came to UWM in 2004 with the same bounce in my step as you, so I completely appreciate your intentions and your enthusiasm. Since then, my spirit has slowly waned because of the lack of progress you speak of. I'm probably more optimistic than most, but I'm not going to pretend that an idea would work, when the truth is, it won't. My snark was inserted because I wasn't looking for a lesson in Panther biology, but if you look at other Panther paw logos, or paw prints you just don't see a 5th digit. I'm all for innovation and creating something new, but it just seems inaccurate... No big deal.

There aren't any current Clemson logos that have a 5th finger. Additionally, I've never seen a panther paw logo with 5 fingers. In short, despite your knowledge of the "panthera" genus, your logo is creative, but won't happen. The goal here should probably be to look as little like Clemson (or any other school with a paw logo) as possible.

Dude! We gotta push this somehow! I mean this stuff is awesome. You already have a ton of art already made up, we really could do something with it. How cool would it be to get some Merch. out into the public. I mean who cares if its not official as of yet. Since its not official and its completely original stuff that the university doesnt have any rights to you could sell your stuff, make t-shirts, i dont know. Ahh. Sorry, i just get excited with ideas. Haha. We could team up and do something with our ideas you know. Otherwise they are just laying around.
I mean if he could set up a shop on pantherU that could be the start of something you know. Stuff for the fan that wants to see things get rolling. The serious Milwaukee fan. For, the most part, MKE has very little official merchandise so there could definitely be a market. And the fact that it is original stuff, i dont even think we would need to get rights for a lot of the designs. Probably would for anything that had the name of the school or "milwaukee panthers" in it but for just logo stuff i am pretty sure thats in the clear.

I also agree with your thought about it not being to strong on the state because we want to establish our identity as a school and as the heart of milwaukee. (Because that is the goal, to be synonymous with the city of milwaukee)

I'm all for innovation and creating something new, but it just seems inaccurate... No big deal. I understand what you mean. And you are probably right, most of my ideas and hopes will end up going nowhere. But i also think that if there is a constant push, and people continue where people like yourself left off, if enough support can be gained, some things can get done. All it takes is one voice to cause discussion. And discussions are what start actual progress. So i appreciate your thoughts, i just plan on going down swinging. Haha
