    What is a trademark?
    A trademark is any word, phrase, symbol, design, sound, smell, color product configuration, group of letters or numbers, or combination of these that is adopted and used by an organization to identify its products or services, and to distinguish them from products and services made, sold, or provided by others. For an organization, a trademark is one of its most important assets. It is vital therefore, that trademarks be used carefully. The University of Georgia desires to associate its trademarks with quality, reliable products that are competitively priced.
    The University of Georgia owns and controls its name(s) and other marks, logos, insignias, seals, designs and symbols which include the use of, but are not limited to: “Georgia ”, “University of Georgia”, “Georgia Bulldogs”, “Bulldogs”, “Dawgs”, “UGA”, “University of Georgia Athletic Association”, “Between The Hedges”, “How Bout Them Dogs”, “Go You Silver Britches”, “Hairy Dawg”, the oval “G” mark , the “Bulldog Head” mark , the “Standing Bulldog” mark, the “Football Helmet” mark , The University’s Seal , and The University’s “Arch” mark . These marks are used for sale, promotional, and advertising purposes and are well known and recognized by the general public and associated with the University in the public mind.

    Many of those trademarks are an absolute joke.

    Georgia owns the name "Georgia"? Really? There are three minor league football and soccer teams that use Georgia as their primary name.

    Georgia owns the name "Bulldogs"? Really? We were Bulldogs decades before they were. There are thousands of teams nicknamed the Bulldogs.

    Georgia owns the oval "G" mark? Really? Green Bay used it first, and then Georgia, and then Grambling.

    Georgia owns the name "Dawgs"? Really? Washington, Mississippi State, Butler, and others have no issues using the term.

    Have we used Dawgs and been ordered to stop? If they don't tell all those other teams to quit, they can't tell us either. Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.

    Not exactly. Check again. The white T/blue state/red background logo that has been used on our football helmets for nearly a half century doesn't appear anywhere in the manual.

    It amazes me you still think either of those apply to this.

    They backdoor the ban with the statement "when used in its two-colored version, the state must be blue and the "T" must be red."

    No Columbia blue stated in the document?

    What do exceptions to the English language have to do with this? I'm not saying we have to following AP guidelines. What I am saying is that every credible news source in the United States uses the AP abbreviation La. Tech. No Tech standards manual will change that. The AP style guide is why people call us La Tech. I was told by people in our athletic department that the abbreviation for Louisiana is LA. That's how clueless and stubborn these people are.

    La = Lah phonetically
    LA = El Aye phonetically

    This is common sense.

    That was odd, now that you mention it. I don't think the old one had it either - the athletics website has the logos, of course. But no color code there either (its #009DDC in case you were wondering).

    In fact, page 8 of the document has the Techsters logo in Reflex Blue...let the meltdown begin.

    How disconnected is our admin?

    I recently received this in the mail. This violates every standards manual we've ever had.

    Like I said in OP, I'm hopeful that the updated manual is an indication that we're moving in the right direction.

    Who thought that was a good idea? It looks horrible.
