The bricks

[bobelok]

Not sure how much of this has been covered; I haven't seen anything about it recently.

The bricks in front of the Administration Building are being laid down, with about 30% complete so far. Incidentally, this area, or at least the area in front of the Willis Library, is to be named the Grace W. Cartwright Plaza.

This is the logo that is going to be used. I'm actually pleased that they're using this one, and not the 'UNT'.

I'll try and have some pics of the new Tennis Center up tomorrow, if anyone is interested in how that is coming along. Turns out there's only enough funding for the 12 outer courts to be built, though they are still saving that space in the middle for the lower court, to be finished whenever more funds become available.

Bobelok thanks so much for sharing this. Good stuff.

I've seen the Tennis complex, and there's not much to look at right now. They are just moving dirt around. I figure by summer's end things will really be moving forward fast.

On the brick behind the Admin Building, I too am glad they decided to use "North Texas" instead of "U-N-T".

[NT80]

Yes, thanks for the info.

That logo is acceptable and much better than the UNT one.

I'm glad they still plan to have a center court eventually.

[MeanGreenBuzz]

Wow, now thats a nice logo.

[shaneb]

How large is that logo?

Cant wait to come back to campus and see all the improvements.

Big. I can't remember exactly how big though:)

[bobelok]

It looks to be somewhere between 15 and 20 feet across. I'll try and find out for sure.

[Keith Fever]

I have also heard that the same logo in brick design will be installed in various streets around campus. Should look nice.

[NT80]

I bet this is the "North Texas" we see on the helmets this fall, stacked minus the logo. Eventually maybe the logo would be added in. It's not the Flying Worm but it could be worse. <_

Well, it does have the worm's talons.

[NT91]

We should be the North Texas Talons anyway.

They're finished. It's nice, though most of the area is covered in the dirt they used to fill in the spaces. And it's almost, if not exactly, 20 feet across.

[NT91]

Wow, we better use this logo for a long time.

I guess you could say it's............ set.... in .... stone? (thank you, thank you.... I'll be here all night)

[NT80]

I'm not sure about that line of the "R" into the "O". I think I'd prefer a Star inside the "O". Is it too late to change that??

yes 80 but that's our "Brand".

[UNTLifer]

I was very critical at first, but this looks nice.

[Stan R]

I'd have to agree with Lifer. At first I was netrual to unhappy. But that looks "Big Time". Students are going to see that and it WILL make a good impression.
