Hi, everyone. Like Chris mentioned, I was playing around with the DOGS idea. Here's an example of a logo or mascot possibility (I made it in paint, so it's pretty "ruff"--haha; I love puns) It could be a fun, lighthearted, student-friendly marketing tool. It lends itself easily to lots of slogan possibilities so it might be fun to work with. After all, who doesn't love DOGS? (see there's one right there...haha). Anyway, just throwing that out there. What do you guys think?

Our Image

Hi everyone,

At our first Wednesday meeting, Leah made the casual comment that we could consider branding our organization, the DGSociety, using the idea of DOGS (Division Of General Study)--an idea that lends a lot of fun possibilities, including ready-made visual imagery and a lot of fun slogans. (One that's been suggested, for a poster or something like that, was "DoGS: Students' best friends."

After last Wednesday's meeting, there was some email follow-up on this idea, and when we talked about it at last Friday's alternate meeting, everyone seemed enthusiastic. This (or perhaps some other idea) seems a great way to get our specific group's name out there, give us cred and make people around campus curious about/aware of us...all while promoting the Division of General Studies.

What do you think? This could possibly turn into the next project, esp if we have people with graphic design interests--not to mention everything from budgeting to placement research, etc.
Share some thoughts....

Go Time

Hi everyone. Thanks for the lively meetings this week. In both sessions, we came up with a lot of strong ideas to build on. Take advantage of this space to continue hammering them into shape. And remember that (in case you need a refresher on the details of what we discussed) the minutes are available on the main website.
