On May 9, 2022, The University of Akron changed their logo to an A with hardly noticeable Z in the design. Official press release on unified brand identity can be found here https://gozips.com/news/2022/5/9/general-university-of-akron-athletics-unveils-new-logo-and-unified-brand-identity.aspx

What I would like out of this petition is to change this logo and go back to either the Z or cursive Akron. Either of these are perfect choices in terms of unified brand identity and lessening the Akron logos flying around in terms of athletics. Keeping these choices means less money spent on this new logo and can be put towards "reintroducing" Akron spirit, especially with a new coach for Akron football with a good track record. Of course, if anyone else has a different idea, they are more than welcome to comment it.
