4 things that look like the Warwick logo

If you are a Warwick student, it has been near impossible to miss the introduction of the new Warwick University logo – and the furore that seemed to accompany it.

Putting aside the contentious issue of whether or not the old logo should have been replaced, here at the Boar we have compiled a list of items, objects and characters that the new logo looks like. Our top four are the following:

1. This beautiful stained glass window adds a religious aesthetic.

2. The Caterpillar Walala logo: the ‘W’ of the Walala is near identical to the new triangular design.

3. Now one for the childhood memories. Some have suggested the similarity with Patrick Star’s pointy, triangle legs and bum.

4. Witness nightclub in Edinburgh also has the same logo. Some have suggested the University is attempting a new ‘fun’ vibe.

Peter Dunn, director of press and policy for the University, commented: “I personally particularly liked the image that had the Koan positioned in the middle. There used to be a society on campus that claimed to worship the Koan. If they reform now they are certainly sorted in terms of a society logo.”

He added: “It may surprise some Boar readers to know that even university spokespeople have a sense of humour.”
