The Fastest College Logos on Earth
School spirit can now reach speeds of 500 mph and an altitude of 41,000 feet, thanks to a co-branding initiative launched by Seattle-based Horizon Air. Late last year, Horizon reached out to CLC clients Oregon State, Washington, and Washington State to brand select aircraft with school colors and logos. The University of Oregon is also on board. This program has garnered significant media coverage both regionally and nationally with stories in the USA Today and the Sports Business Journal.

Check out the planes being painted to the beat of each institution's fight song.






Friday Blues in Flagstaff
Northern Arizona University has the city of Flagstaff feeling blue on Friday, but in a good way. The University launched a grassroots initiative last fall for NAU fans and supporters and the citizens of Flagstaff called True Blue Fridays. Since President John Haeger signed a decree to encourage the NAU community to wear NAU colors and gear every Friday, many in the community have enthusiastically begun to show their pride by wearing NAU gear. The initiative has been promoted via a spirited ad campaign in local stores, on the radio, during athletic events, and on television. NAU licensing royalties are on pace to eclipse last year’s record total.

Be true, wear NAU!
