Our slant block "P" isn't very imaginative nor distinctive. What do you think about replacing the hole in the middle of the "P" with Neil Armstrong's footprint on the moon?

The upright "rail section" hole would work best with a modification of the traditional upright block "P" (below). Be aware that 2019 is Purdue's 150th birthday. It would be nice to dedicate a new logo that both embraces the past and incorporates an imbedded image that projects the nickname of the university.

And in all candor, the current slant "P" looks like the 1990s.

Actually it is very distinctive.... living in other parts of the US it has been recognized by many when I wear a hat or shirt with the Slant P, I continue to get many who ask if I attended Purdue...old complaint is that others outside of the Athletic Department such as the All-American Band and the University continue to use the other font for their P or Purdue...

When I travel I often wear my Purdue cap because I always get someone who asks me about Purdue. This even happened in St. Andrews, Scotland.

Baseball in the past had what looked like a Pittsburgh Pirates hat... I think using different fonts is confusing. In fact I found this picture from Friday night. Maybe an alternate uniform, but still...
