The New UC Logo

The Thinking Housewife: The Meaningless University

It looks outdated, like something from the 70s or the 80s. I think it unwittingly represents the further commodification of higher education (with the need for costly "marketing") and a turning away from older notions of the university. The UC Brand? How stupid. But it is inevitable when a university education is marketed to the masses? No awareness of the higher education bubble.
