Evolution of the KAPPA Shark logo





OI KAPPA MAU!



The world recognizes the KAPPA Shark logo as the coolest in the land. We must give props to MuidLatiff, designer extrodinaire for giving birth to the awesome-est logo on the planet. Shout out also to pioneer KAPPA member ED Joemin (first producer of Saladin) for bringing Muid on board. OKla also some *quiet* thanks to our sister club, the Broward Sharks basketball team for the inspiration. [google it] SHHHHHHH!


Before the professional designers came on board there were some unbelievably hideous logos that were proposed. Seriously who could come up with such ugliness? This was from early October 2006:








After we recoverd from the shock of such tastelessness, some weird dude in Kappa suggested a bear as a mascot (weird dude = Hasnul K). Come on! A bear?? WEAK! Anyway, this was the reference bear logo that was proposed on the 1st of November 2006:







Another of a Wildcat. Better than a bear. But anything is better than a bear.







Finally, after lots of hard work, some blood, sweat and tears, the final KAPPA logo was unveiled on the 3rd of November 2006 (which shall henceforth be known to all as KAPPA LOGO DAY).

  5. btw, the logo do look somehow similar to Broward Sharks, I thought we can change the shark to a different position, but that alone would take a whole new reproduction of collateral and t-shirts yikes! :P
