We used to have banners on the lights. All of them. Red and blue ones with the seal and our name. They started to look pretty worn out, and nothing was ever put up after they took them down. I'm glad to see we're putting the poles back to good use.

They do look very nice, and add a nice touch. It seems that JB is not missing out on any details even the small ones in taking this athletic program to the next step.

Yeah, that's the way Barber felt when this was being talked about.

He's a great AD. He was very open to my suggestions. He used some & some he didn't. One of them that didn't get used was the same design, but red & blue with a white stroke highlighting the curve. I had to use an alternate logo for that & they didn't want to use the alternate just yet.

Nice. You're only 45 posts in, but be aware that this board will suck you in fast.

Those banners are nice...I also think having a dark (Navy or Black) banner with the university seal on it in gold and the school name in gold also would look sharp (perhaps for the fall season or near academic buildings.) I think that William & Mary has something similar with their university seal on campus....I could be mistaken on that though, or it was something they did awhile ago.

Nonetheless, the current banners are a nice touch. Now just for that on-campus lake... :wink:

Brian does good work, and he's got a SCAR haircut, so he must be one of us! He gave us the URL link, but was humble enough not to quote from the article himself. I wonder if he could create a digital lake for us in the ravine beside the Vines center? :)

We did have some things that were black & gold. However, with the new style guide, approved logos, & trademarking, we chose to stick with blue, red, & white and to not use black & gold anymore. I kidded with Dr. Falwell that maybe we were trying to become Wake Forest with those colors.

Of, course PA. How could I forget? That's why I consider it an honor to be quoted in your sig :wink:

Gosh, I don't want to be greedy, so let's go without at first, but if you have an image of the USS Liberty with JF at the wheel, that might be a nice touch. :D

For some reason, I can see a photoshop of the skipper from Gilligan's Island.
