New Lion’s Roar Logo
By Abby Capizzi
This issue of the Penn State Abington Newspaper is the first to feature the new logo of The Lion’s Roar. As co-editor of the paper, I suggested that the logo could use a fresh look.
After looking at many different Penn State logos, Professor Quattrone and I acquired one that had the right vibe to represent the paper. Our logo consists of a lion roaring with passion. As students and teachers of Penn State, we are passionate and proud to be Nittany Lions. That is exactly what we wanted to represent through our new logo.
Art major Reese Fitch, who has excellent graphic design skills, was able to bring this design to life. Sketching out different versions of the logo, he allowed us to choose the one that would work best for the paper. We are proud to say that the logo turned out exactly how we imagined it. “WE ARE” proud to represent our passion for Penn State and the Lion’s Roar through this new logo.
