Slug Survey Design Phase 3

The UC Santa Cruz Athletics and Recreation brand identity refresh during the 2019–2020 academic year is a comprehensive team effort, engaging the entire UC Santa Cruz community, both past and present, to help shape the new Athletics and Recreation (Strong Slug) logo.

 

We have been collecting data since October 2019 from current students, faculty/staff, and of course, alumni like you.

 

Slug Survey Design Phase 3, which focuses on a favorite logo layout, facial expression, and matching font, opened on April 7. We invite and welcome your feedback throughout this process.
