Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.\u00a0 To someone like me, there is beauty in symmetry; my personal view on aesthetics is typically favoring towards things with good balance.\u00a0 I like the concept of balance outright, usually believing that a life well lived is a life that\u2019s simply got good balance throughout the numerous aspects of living.<\/span><\/p>\n Working where I do, I see the Georgia Tech logo pretty much every single day.\u00a0 Unfortunately, due to the fact that I support Virginia Tech and that without fail I will get stuck behind a deliberately troll-driving GT shuttle on a daily basis, I have grown to have a negative connotation whenever I see the GT logo; which is everywhere.\u00a0 Which has made me become critical towards it, naturally.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But anyway, the Georgia Tech logo is flawed.\u00a0 Every time I see the flaw, I can\u2019t help but stare at it, making me think mean things like that much like the school itself, is kind of a symbol of failure.\u00a0 The extent to which I believe that is subject to how many of my friends and acquaintances that actually went to Georgia Tech are currently present, but all biases aside, I do believe that it\u2019s a flawed logo.<\/span><\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t noticed yet, the picture above is an animated gif explaining the flaw, and where it is.<\/span><\/p>\n In layman\u2019s terms, the left side of the T is disproportionately too long.\u00a0 Not by a tremendous amount, but noticeable to anyone with any sort of analytical eye.\u00a0 I understand that it\u2019s due to the nature of the interlocking G with the T, but there\u2019s really no rule against or excuse to why the right stroke of the T couldn\u2019t be elongated to remain consistent with the left.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s not like it would be a difficult fix to apply, if anyone cared.\u00a0 Literally, the four vector points that make up the right side of the T and its serif could be selected in any vector software like Illustrator and be elongated the 1\/8th<\/sup>\u00a0of a unit to match the left side.\u00a0 In work-speak, it\u2019s LITRALLY. An easy fix that should take all of two minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n But I can see why this wouldn\u2019t ever happen, especially with my own marketing experiences.\u00a0 Altering one logo means jeopardizing the relevancy of a lifetime\u2019s worth of branding and marketing.\u00a0 Countless apparel, signs, and school collateral would become obsolete from two minutes of correctional work, and in some cases require redoing (read: spending more money) to anyone with a perfectionist mindset.\u00a0 It would also give confirmation to the claim that the logo was indeed flawed for numerous decades, and nobody wants to admit failures.<\/span><\/p>\n So despite the fact that the Georgia Tech logo is in fact flawed, I wouldn\u2019t put any money on that it\u2019s going to get fixed any time soon.\u00a0 The school would rather continue their existence with a sub-par identifier than admit that someone long ago, be it through malice or simply a lack of talent and eye, or maybe both, fucked up on their logo.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.\u00a0 To someone like me, there is beauty in symmetry; my personal view on aesthetics is typically favoring towards things with good balance.\u00a0 I like the concept of balance outright, usually believing that a life well lived is a life that\u2019s simply got good balance throughout the numerous … Continue reading Georgia Tech\u2019s logo is flawed<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[131,45,94,15,91,49],"class_list":["post-36809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-branding","tag-fail","tag-graphic-design","tag-og","tag-pf","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36809"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36809\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36811,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36809\/revisions\/36811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
