the company I work for does branding for companies and the first and best lesson is the KISS principle- would guess we would want the key elements /fonts be as easy to read and as you can. The S and D interlocked as you have now in Black and Red, and have SAN DIEGO above or inside in White and STATE - below on inside bottom in White- Our colors are Red,(not sure what the pantone number for AZTEC red ,but it should be constant) Black, and some white -as accent- when you silk screen or print you can do fine detail but embroidered or tackle twill
you need thick and distinct- Mascots are nice but when you show it quickly on TV it should be distinct- prefer seeing the San Diego and State so I can read it rather than the spear- and that we are not South Dakota State

I have a polo shirt with that "A-spear" logo and was wearing it in Detroit last summer and some guy actually said to me "Go Indians!". I asked what he meant and, pointing to my shirt said, "Isn't that Arkansas State?" I laughed and said, "No, it's for the San Diego State Aztecs." He looked confused and walked on. Needless to say I don't wear that shirt anymore. Your example is one of the reasons why I never bought an SDSU gear with the A-spear logo. For a school like ours that's struggling to compete against more recognizable college logos, the A-spear logo itself (IMO) was an epic failure. If you're a non-Aztec fan, simply seeing the A-spear logo doesn't tell you whether it's a school, rock band or just a random design. The nation is more familiar with our school name (San Diego St.) and school initials (SDSU) than our mascot (Aztecs), hence why the A-spear doesn't make sense. |

I'm going to have to disagree with you that the AZTEC "mascot" doesn't identify the school as much as SDSU does. I have a t-shirt with the below logo and almost everyone I meet knows it represents San Diego State. AZTECS is perhaps the most unique college mascot in the country.  |

One more time.....AZTECS is NOT our mascot. The AZTEC WARRIOR/MONTY is our one and only mascot. AZTECS is our NICKNAME.  |

I have had numerrous favorable comments here in Buckeye country how cool our logo is. If we can't have Monty then SD is good enough for me.
