About a week ago, Georgia Southern University's athletic department sent out an email detailing a couple of minute changes with one of the Eagles' alternate logos, and added this nugget of information in as well:
Also, please note the following from a branding standpoint:
"The terms Georgia Southern University and Georgia Southern are University trademarks and their use should adhere to all standards of trademark use. Use of "GSU" is prohibited. Simply use "GS" on second reference if needed."
So it appears that athletic director Tom Kleinlein and company are as fed up with members of the media confusing the two schools as much as Eagle fans are, and the athletic department is doing everything they can to avoid the common error.
