    Comments: There needs to be a democratic process. Money like this should not be spent on a whim. Moreover, the ramifications of choosing either of these poorly designed logos will affect the image of the university as it will serve as a representation for the university.

    Comments: If the logo design was very appealing, I would be in favor. But the process taken was bad. We could have saved so much money by having a competition among students for just a few thousand dollars.

    Comments: The image I project from BOTH logos is a UH campus that has several skyscraper buildings with windows sealed to the outside in order to allow the a/c to flow. I close my eyes and think of a class in Hawaiian language being taught in the atmosphere of the current UH campus. I see absolutely NO CONNECTION between the logos and the university.

    Comments: I am against the creation of a logo at this time. We do not need any new logo. Spending $82,000 to create a new logo is absolutely a waste of money.

    Comments: UH does not need a new logo. If the university community wants a new logo, let there be a student contest to design one. $82,000 is too much to pay for a logo, especially at a time when the state needs to invest money directly in education--not in an unnecessary logo.

    Comments: I do not feel a change in the UH Logo is necessary. The $82,000 of our tax dollars should instead go towards scholarships. In any event, the contract for the design of the new logo should have been awarded to a local company, and not a mainland one.

    Comments: The 2 designs appear generic and without unique island representation. Furthermore, "island talents" should be responsible for this entity, not a Baltimore firm. There is nothing special behind these designs for they are void of island flavor.

    Comments: As a faculty member at UH-Manoa, I am very upset that so much money was spent on this logo project with such poor results. I do not think the two final designs are worth $82,000 nor are they suitable as a university wide logo. The committee should have made it an open competition among faculty and students across the UH system; that would have truly resulted in a design that represents the University of Hawaii. Even if a prize was awarded for BEST DESIGN, it wouldn't have costed $82,000. Here on the Manoa campus, some of us are still tolerating things like broken toilets, out of order elevators,no money for computer supplies, sharing offices in "temporary" portables that are more than 30 years old...that $82,000 could have been put to much better use. As a faculty member with close to 20 years service at UH-Manoa, I am very disappointed that, even with a new, promising administration, things have yet to change for the better.

    Comments: I think Bachman should have organized a local design competition, open to all, with a prize equal to a small fraction of the $82K (say $5K) offered for the winnning design. This would have created a lot of local interest, and would probably have resulted in better, more local-flavored, designs.

    Comments: as a faculty member, i am totally freaked out by this misuse of state money for education, let alone the concept that an educational institution must be "branded". these arrogant administrators who are eagerly spending my indirect cost research grant monies on bread and circuses should go see what teaching classrooms in edmondson and synder hall look like, or try to live on a graduate student teaching assistant stipend of 16k/yr !

    Comments: Students or faculty from several disciplines across the University of Hawaii systems could have come up with a better, meaningful and presentative logo- and it would not waste $82K of taxpayer's (our) money). That's NOT free money Mr. Costello is throwing away; it came out of our pockets! If "We don't have money" to pay for faculty to provide required courses, how is it we have money to throw away. This is unethical, immoral and ilogical.

    Comments: I can understand the desire to have single logo that unifies all campuses - but the rationale of having a logo to attract students I would be suspicious of students who would base their college education on a fluffy design gimmick that will be outdated in 10 years. I would enroll in a college with an emblem of a dog crapping on a lawn if it meant I was attending a better school. For enrollment, logo means nothing, and these two mean less than that.

    Comments: The cost of the process is not a major concern to me provided the outcome is a good one. The two final choices that they have provided are utterly unacceptable, and so I believe the committee must re-evaluate their choices. The new logo should convey a sense of history, tradition, and refinement. The two final choices look more like video game logos than a university logo.

Why wasn't our graphic design department asked to submit proposals for the logo.... people who have extensive knowledge about Hawaii and UH and who are extremely well educated and talanted .... How could this happen.... For $82 000 there must be something better than this....
