Real improvement over the old logo. I particularly like that we are now referring to ourselves as U.S. Masters Swimming rather than USMS. If we are trying to attract new members and we are all on occasion walking billboards with meet t-shirts, who knows what USMS means besides those who are already members. I have any number of meet t-shirts in which neither the graphics or text give any indication that it is actually from a swimming event. Kudos to the group who picked the name change and the design.
USMS = US Marshals Service, for about the last 220 years. Masters Swimming? Never heard of it.
At least that is how most people react. As a former US Marshal, I've got it covered both ways, but count me in as a big fan of US Masters Swimming. :anim_coffee:
I see how it is.. I go to great lengths to produce the below "art" and you change the logo on me...nice!
;)
Well at least I have a new project for the long dark nights this winter!
Sorry, any 'art' that involves the use of a steam iron is questionable at best.
Is it me.. or is this version of the logo (Which is used in the logo information area) clipped too closely at the bottom?

It looks especially that the "S" in "Swimming" is not rounded on the bottom.

There will be apparel available from our sponsors and partners (Kiefer and Kastaway, to name two). However, if you want to make and sell a clothing line adorned with the logo, you must first purchase license from US Masters Swimming. I do not believe there is any in house movement to produce and sell garments.
I think.
