There is an overall marketing thread going which reminds me of my own personal pet peeve. I wanted to start a thread solely devoted to that topic to see if others agree.
It irks me when I see university sponsored stuff in all shades of gold. Old gold - vegas gold -- and yellow. In every company I have worked the corporate colors have been consistently used/applied. There were not 3 shades of Cummins blue or Ford blue. Variations were not allowed.
That background leads me cringe when I go to any Purdue website and see pictures with a full rainbow of "gold" on display or go to a basketball game and see one gold color on the floor and another on the flags, cheerleaders or something else.
I think the university needs to pick one, stick with it and go on a campaign to eradicate the others.
My choice would be old gold - Rick Mount era or a deep gold. Vegas and yellow are used by too many others.
