SOCIETY FOR A BEVEL-FREE AGGIELAND

The bevel looks dumb. I won't buy anything with the bevel on it. What is wrong with the block A&M on the helmet? If it isn't broke don't fix it!

BEVELS seems to be the Herpes of Texas A&M. No one wants it, irritating, unsightly, and seems to be a mistake that won't EVER go away. Oh, and from the looks of it, we got it from Tech...

Adding bevels to graphics was a fad when I was at A&M and it faded away in a few short years. Only A&M would think of going back to the 1990s for a cheap graphics look for our official logo. The aesthetics are bad, but the geometry is even worse. Note to Marketing: K.I.S.S.

The bevel logo is retarded. What is it going to take to get rid of the stupid bevels?

Luckily I was still able to find some non-beveled gear for Christmas gifts. There is still a lot of poorly done beveled merchandise out there.

I see a ton of shirts with the non-beveled A&M logo on campus. At least the stores around town recognize that most Aggies don't like the beveled logo!

Shouldn't an engineering school have a logo with correct geometry? The beveled logo is so dumb I can't believe that Aggie fans have to fight the administration to get rid of it. How stubborn can they be? Just do what is best for A&M!

I will be starting at A&M this Fall and I'm so excited to be an Aggie. It seems to me that Texas A&M is a school that is big on traditions so I don't understand why A&M would use a beveled logo that has no historical significance. On top of that the geometry sucks.

I hate the bevel! I will never buy anything that has the bevel on it. Why did you people mess with our logo?!

The administration continues to push the Bevel despite the A&M fan base doing everything they can to let them know we don't like it. Why are these 4 lines so important to our leaders? These lines don't add anything to the aTm logo, they just weaken it. Just use the traditional logo on the helmet. Why be so stubborn about the stupid Bevel?

The logo that features the trapezoidal interruptions takes away from the traditional, bold logo, and more often than not, looks horrible on TV, signage and clothing. Please move the random lines from our school logo. Outlines or shadowing can be used, but please end the use of this ridiculous looking

Just use the A&M logo on the helmet - it isn't that hard! Why try to make things so complicated? Most Aggies I know prefer the Block T. Very few people prefer the beveled logo. Why would the administration use a logo most Aggies don't like. If anything go with tradition - no doubt that is the Block T. Maybe I just don't understand...

The beveled logo is so 1990s; the Block T is traditional SEC. The choice is an easy one.

So we are an Engineering school and have programs in Architecture and Computer Visualization, yet the Administration is OK with a geometrically incorrect bevel - makes perfect sense.

The Student Senate now has a Debevelization Representation Bill that will add a poll question to the Student Body Elections Ballot this Fall (2013)

Correct it or get rid of the bevel. That is my opinion.

What is it going to take to get rid of this stupid beveled logo?

Check out the bevel thread on the TexAgs.com Football Forum. LEVEL THE BEVEL!

I can't decide if Jason Cook being reassigned is good or bad for those of us that hate the bevel...

Perception defied! Compound, complex facets. Even Escher weeps.

The beveled logo is dumb... just use the aTm logo on the helmet. KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid

When is the administration going to admit that the bevel was a mistake and quit using it? Continuing to use it doesn't make the horrible aesthetics and geometry of this confusing logo any better.

So many reasons the 'bevel' needs to go: 1) Looks like a throw-back to the Big 12 bevel fad. (OSU, Texas Tech, etc) 2) Makes the A&M logo look too busy and washed out. 3) Doesn't print well on clothes, especially the smaller it is. 4) Not technically even a bevel. Could go on for hours... Let's lose the bevel or start finding alternatives to the current Aggie gear.

I have hated the chisel or bevel T since day one. It was just forced on us. I'm trying to find a new ball cap with the block T logo. I won't buy any bevel-wear. Plus, where is the chisel at the bottom of the T that should be on the top left of the serif? Idiots.

It's getting worse. At the brandguide.tamu.edu website, there are NO unbeveled T's to download, and the admin is pushing all the colleges and depts to adopt the new, very unattractive mark. GET ACTIVE FOLKS - e-mail president@tamu.edu and put a stop to the bevel insanity.

Won't purchase anything with a bevel. Fix it or (preferably)lose it.

Down with all things bevel....

The bevel kicked my dog and sold newsletters to make an extra buck. Down with Bevel!

Thank you for starting this! I've hated the bevel ever since it started and do my best to never buy anything with the bevel, even if that means not buying some Aggie gear I would really like.

The bevel T needs to go. It is awful and amateurish, our great university deserves better. The traditional block T has repesented us so well in the past, why has it been abandoned? The Association of Former Students changed their decal design a number of years ago to a cheesy design, but fortunately they had the intelligence to switch back to the original design we have today. I'm not sure who in the university's marketing area came up with the idea of the bevel T, but they should be shown the door. Finally, emulating tech's bevel T is an insult. Why would we ever want to have a logo associated with those "dirt monkeys"?

Mr. Loftin, tear down this BEVEL!!!! All True Maroon-Blooded Aggies know that the "Block T" and the Non-Bevel ATM are the TRUE symbol of this fine university. Why should we follow Tceh and Houston with their bevels? Lets get back to our traditional roots and bring back the ORIGNAL ATM Logo!!!!

Another poll: Should Texas A&M stop using the current highlighted, bevel-T design? http://polldaddy.com/poll/6224783/

Here is a poll about Texas A&M using the Bevel logo: http://polldaddy.com/poll/6224746 Here is the thread on TexAgs about the poll: http://texags.com/main/forum.reply.asp?topic_id=2085857&forum_id=5

Mama said, "the bevel is the devil" Classic block ATM for the win.

Death to the devel!

I could tell you about my halcyon childhood full of constant euphoria and mountains of bubble gum (when it was only a penny, came individually wrapped and was BIG). I could boast of my skydiving successes, passionate relationships, and well-groomed facial hair during my elementary school years. I could ramble on for hours about my good ol' college days: swimming the mighty Brazos, drinking elixir with traveling mystics, writing seductive poetry, and throwing touchdown passes were all in a day's work. I could write about the day I saved those kids from the influences of organized religion, or even about my automatic entry into the (cencored) Brotherhood upon my arrival at Texas A&M. But I won't. That's not the way my parents (who were wolves, by the way) raised me. I shall attempt to remain as blasé as possible in regard to my hatred for this abortion of a logo, if you will. However, I have never made a guarantee in my life and do not plan on changing that. No longer am I the youthful brainchild of Lawrence Sullivan Ross' haunting presence (sans pompadour), quietly learning a myriad of quirky literary devices and illegal ways in which to download cheap programs onto my laptop. No longer do I remain fixed in the internal quagmire of my soul, desperate to define my role within the unobstructed, clean, unbeveled lines of life. My blatantly eccentric, yet wanton, avant-garde lifestyle longs resurrect the good tradition of the "flat" logo alive and well during these dark times. As I sit here on the front porch of the duffelpud mansion, gracefully puffing on my briarwood pipe, I envision a beautiful relationship between our hallowed institution and a logo castrated of the beveled appendages unnaturally added by Nike metrosexuals. I see a brilliant future of denial and acceptance; of heartbreak and happiness; of tears and laughter. I have a funny feeling that you're looking forward to it.

As Ricky Bobby once said: "Dear 8 pound 6 ounce Lord baby Jesus, lyin' there in your ghost manger, just lookin' at your Baby Einstein developmental videos, learnin' 'bout shapes and colors. I would like to pray that you kill the strange, geometrically incorrect bevel on the Texas A&M logo. It's dumb, looks like garbage, and not only dilutes the brand but it's killing our country. And also I pray that my kids no longer sound like retarded gang-bangers. A-men"

The bevel got my dog pregnant. I WANT IT DEAD!

Please get rid of this, or at least replace it with the Traditional "flat" logo as the primary mark and the logo that is to be used by Sports Media. Gig'em

please kill the bevel so we can focus our efforts on more important matters such as programming for internet polls and billboard design

Also could never stand the plaid around the collar and sleeves. Give me a break. Maroon and White!

I am sick to my stomach to see the worst logo imaginable used for A&M on every televised event. Now coming back to Texas after years in California, I am even more sickened to see the ugliest logo in the country slapped on buildings and equipment all over the campus. A&M used to have one of the boldest sharpest logos around. Now it has the weakest & ugliest logo in the nation. It's not a bevel. It's busy random lines, creating the visual effect of a blurry washed out "T".

I also do not buy gear with the beveled logo. If i am unable to find the item I want with the classic logo, then I do not buy anything. I know I am not the only Aggie who behaves this way, so clearly the University is losing money by insisting on keeping this horrible looking design.

Let's leave the bevel with the Big 12 and start the SEC without it

Let's not use the cheesy bevel in the SEC...none of the SEC schools use that kind of stuff.

The bevel fad was over before A&M even started using the beveled logo

I don't buy anything with the bevel on it...sure does make shopping harder.
