A real designer could have made a great logo either way.

True, but I guess that'd be pretty much impossible after the $400 000 renovations.

What would be?

Like I've said before, if they had the funds to shell out 400k, they could have spent a few hundred bucks for an attractive logo.

Who knows. The people in the MSU.

And I don't care to work for a corrupted government

And I'm too busy with musical!

I'll just stop giving my opinion though if you guys don't care about it.

This is true, though I would voice my opinion if anyone asked me IRL too...

Sorry...still looks like a logo produced by a student graphic designer, not a professional. A professional can make four numbers or a few words look spectacular.

Yes, students might be professionals who have returned to school for continued education, or there might be a talented non-professional student who could make a kick-ass design, however, I do stand by what I said

I think the point is that the logo was not done by professionals students or otherwise. If it was, it wouldn't be so E in here.
