The Logo Exercise

In an effort in increase awareness around campus, the Gargoyle has considered adopting a new logo for some time. Ideally, the logo should be striking, yet simple; bold, but accessible; it should be something that one might find oneself doodling during class. As part of a creative exercise the Gargoyle staffers (artists and writers alike) were asked to come up with new logos for the magazine. These abominations are the result of that mistake:

logo01  - billy.png
Wow, Billy, this is... Terrible. Really, it's just absolutely awful. It looks like it was made by chimp with Down's Syndrome.

logo06 - dying.pngDEAR GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?! Adrian's art is far and away superior to whatever the hell it Billy was trying to do up there and it has the added benefit of making the viewer want to curl up into the fetal position and hum the M*A*S*H theme for comfort. These are things we want in a logo.

logo03 - garggunsnglory.pngHuh. Well, I'd never associated the Gargoyle with Fascism before, but perhaps I'm missing something?

logo04 - flaming constitution.pngAh, yes. The United States Constitution. On fire. That's what's been missing from the Gargoyle's PR campaign. Someone should explain to Joe that the Gargoyle isn't that kind of organization. Not it!

logo07 - asstravaganza.png...
...
That's... That's a blob guy shrieking into a lady Gargoyle's ass. Yep. That is exactly what that is. File this one under either "Undesired insight into Adrian's sexual preferences" or "Reasons the University of Michigan planning to have our staff chemically castrated." Your pick.

logo10 - ohjesusidonteven.pngHey, remember when the staff was instructed to take LSD, then draw what a David Lynch movie tastes like? Yeah, me either, but that would explain this clusterfuck a bit, don't you think?

logo05 - titburger.pngYou know what? I give up. At least the other drawings had Gargoyles in them. This just confirms my belief that I should be drunk at every meeting.

Well, that was a catastrophe. Tell you what, the next time I want to see bewildering and disturbing images, I'll just drink some mineral spirits like I usually do. Congratulations Gargoyle Staff, you have once again proven yourselves to be the most potent force of confusion and terror since Shaq decided to make a hip hop album.
