most of those things you listed they do make Flags you can get them at Flag craft Golf club cover and chairs they seel in the bookstore on campus.

You can get FAU tailgating chairs in the bookstore?  Say it aint so, I have been in there every year and NEVER seen them.  A golfbag?  where?  NEVER seen one.  Covers for your woods?  NEVER seen them.  You have to custom design the FAU flag right?

Don't know about the golf stuff but the flags you can buy at the bookstore or at flagcraft they don't need to be specially designed. The tailgating chairs can also be purchased at the bookstore. They just came out with them before the Troy game. They were selling them there as well

Okay, so the chairs just got made less than a month ago (been waiting 7 years)…haven't seen them yet, but will be stopping buy to purchase them soon.  I dont know how long they have had those flags in the bookstore but I know it has to be very recent because they definetly did not have them in 2007.  Point is….FAU merchandise should come in a wider range of products and sell at more stores.

The bookstore has (for tailgating) a tent, a chair and a 3x5 vinyl flag ($50 tho  :-\ ). All good stuff. Two apartment complexes on 20th Street are flying FAU flags.

I'm pretty sure they don't have golf stuff except for special FAU Owl balls. They do have small plastic FAU footballs, foam fingers, seat cushions and even one of those crazy blue hair wigs.

The clothing and hat selection is awesome at the bookstore. I'm glad that took off. It's been cold the past couple of days and the FAU hoodies are out in full force on campus.

I'm waiting for more of the vanity plates to come in… I'm looking for the metal one with the winged FAU letters. I'd also like to get an FAU cover for my (MetroPCS) phone but nobody seems to have it.

Pretty interesting what you guys talk about, but please do not wear red on the 8th!!!!
OWL9: How you were part of the branding and marketing process?
Are you a graphic designer?
I am a graphic designer with a lot of talent, I graduated in 06 from FAU and I work for a Multinational packaging firm.
I wanna know how to get into the designing part of the T-shirts!!
How many logos do we have exactly?

thanks for your help!!

Well, you have your opinion and I have mine. And that's what makes the board so great. We could go back and forth on it all day long, so I'll just agree to disagree! ;)

i am very much involved with graphic design and other areas of computers… i am proud of the work that i do

in 2005, i was recommended by a professor (who wished to stay anonymous, i still don't even know which professor it was though i have a feeling who it was) to partake in the university focus groups for the branding process… on that group, i met Erik Rickabaugh (Rickabaugh Graphics… the company who created our new brand) and was invited by him to go further into the process and become an actual part of it… it was a very cool thing for me

as for the OFFICIAL FAU marks (logos) i would refer you to the Visual Standards Manual (VSM) (http://wise.fau.edu/branding/FAU_VSM.pdf)

i was granted a free license to work with all the contents of the VSM for the past two years when i interned with basketball team as a graphics/media intern… i am no longer working in the program, so i lost my license

lastly, the dirty birds have created a website and store for apparel (all license-free)… i created the entire site and all apparel in the store

so yes, i am very involved with graphics and media, and no i am not tooting my own horn F_O hahaha (that was a joke… it was not meant in a mean way, and i don't want that to start a fight, lol)
