New WFU logo leaked

Posted on Apr 24, 2008 - 11:48 pm

In an e-mail sent to the university community this morning, President Nathan O. Hatch announced that a new university logo would be announced on April 30.

But fear not, loyal readers. Some posters on the Scout.com Wake Forest message boards were able to discover the new logo a bit before the logo’s official unveiling.

The poster found the logo by looking at the university’s 2008-’09 Undergraduate Bulletin, which was recently added to the Web site.  However, someone forget to take out the logo, thus allowing some to view the logo before it was later removed from the bulletin.

While the font has changed, the most notable change is that the university is going to a shield format, where there is a stylized “W” but no real “F” to accompany it in forming a “WF.” That is, unless you think that the right side of the shield is a really stylized “F”.

Arbys buys Wendys!!

Posted by Kelly on Apr 24, 2008 - 08:48 pm

In a 2.3 billion dollar deal, the company that own Arbys has purchased Wendys as well.  To someone who thinks Arbys is rather gross (except the curly fries) this is mildly upsetting.  However, they will continue to operate separately, and Wendys may now have a breakfast menu.  Never fear, the late night drunk munchies that is Wendys will still exist as we know and love.

Wake Forest celebrates Earth Day, strives for sustainability

Posted by Kelly on Apr 21, 2008 - 09:21 am

In honor of Earth Day, students from the “Social Values, Sustainability and Entrepreneurship” class have launched a week-long series of events to promote sustainability at Wake Forest.  This includes introducing biodegradable materials for the Pit’s ‘to-go’ services and electric golf carts which may replace the current models used on campus.  In conjunction with the ARAMARK and WFU’s Facilities Management, this week will incorporate many facets of our university.  Initiatives include biodegradable materials at the Pit, selling non-disposable water bottles, and recycling.

A full schedule of events can be found at their website (link above)
