DESCRIBING: The Journalism Watchdogs logo, which is a shoulders-up view of a dog in profile, facing to dog's right. DESCRIPTION: The Journalism Watchdogs logo shows a dog, in profile, from the shoulders up, turned to the dog's right. The dog's fur is black, with bright highlights in multiple shades of orange, giving almost a flame-like appearance. The dog's breed is difficult to discern in this stylized form, but it appears to be a black labrador, or a mix, with a medium-length snout, brownish orange eyes, and ears that fold down and flutter back, like being blown by the wind. The dog has a stoic expression, as if on-watch, looking into the distance, for anything of possible concern. JOURNALISM WATCHDOGS

The press is a watchdog. Not an attack dog. Not a lapdog. A watchdog. Now, a watchdog can't be right all the time. He doesn't bark only when he sees or smells something that's dangerous. A good watchdog barks at things that are suspicious.


— Journalist Dan Rather, paraphrased from his 2007 Keynote at SXSW, March 12, 2007

  • DESCRIBING: A University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa logo. DESCRIPTION: The College of Social Sciences logo, from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, School of Communication and Information is mostly text. The names of the college and of the school are in all-caps, but the name of the university is not. There is a TM (trademark) symbol after the name of the university. Above the text, the primary visual element of the logo is a pointy U-shaped icon, which could be interpreted as a V because of that point at its base. Its left arm is positioned where the typical left arm of a U would be, but the right arm swoops up and is higher than the left and crosses slightly over the centerline of the letter, creating a circular shape rather than a typical bowl of a U-shaped counterspace. The letter form itself is composed of multiple three-sided and four-sided abstract shapes, that combine to form the U, with sections typically broken into two or three pieces and placed together like a puzzle, with an open line of white space between each piece.
