It actually looks like a saluki.
I don't really see what is "bad" about it, and it is a lot better than the sock puppet.
I will always prefer the stylized saluki from the 80s and early 90s, but this is fine. It's also much better than the "vicious saluki," which was almost as dumb as the U if I's Village Person. You know, the Plains chief who apparently took over a peaceful, agricultural peo--err...I mean the FIGHTING Illini!!

I think it's great. Classic-looking Saluki!

I'm actually a fan of that logo on the basketball court if it looks like that
Sorry, but this is just absolutely terrible. It looks like a worn out, panting dog, almost like it's tired of getting its ass kicked over and over again....
This won't last long, I'll look for a change within a year.

Good thing you’re in the minority. Social media loves it. It will be great to finally have some uniformity instead of the 5+ different logos that are used now on uniforms, marketing items, and other merchandise. And it won’t be changed within a year. They’re putting it in the center of the football field and basketball court. You will just have to deal with it. 😊

It's a complete joke. It looks like my dog after she's run for an hour straight, tongue out and begging for a bowl of water. I think it perfectly symbolizes our athletic department and school as a whole, worn the f out.
My first reaction was "what's with the panting dog, with the tongue hangin' out?". I think that part of the design should have been reconsidered. At the end of the day, I like the rest of the logo. I think it will pop on the basketball court and football field, as well as on TV. It's a huge improvement over the sock puppet.
I like it, much better than previous logo. It seems like a mesh between old school logo with a more modern look. I like the clean look of two colors.
I like it too. Looks like a Saluki, no mention of "C" and says Southern Illinois.
No problem either, if it appears (to some) as panting. It's a fast damn dog and should be breathing hard if it's a symbol of our athletic programs.
Get it going.
March on triumphantly!
It's fine. Just like professional sports franchises, new logos help sell hats and shirts and other apparel. I hope the increased merchandise sales will help offset the losses due to the decrease in attendance at some of the sporting events.
Saw quite a few people with bags of apparel at the women's game tonight. The new dog looked good on the scoreboard screen.

The more I’m looking at the new logo, the more I like it. That’s a good sign, right?
I wasn't crazy about it by itself but I've seen it on a shirt and it looks good. Way better than the busy Saluki head with the unreadable text!
