Pace U. Unveils New Athletic Logo

Pace U.

PLEASANTVILLE, NEW YORK – The Pace University Athletics Department is pleased to announce that a new athletics logo is ready to grace team uniforms and apparel, publications, signage and the athletics department webpage.

Pace’s athletics teams are called the Setters and the new look incorporates the mascot into the main logo. A Setter dog in the school’s colors of navy and yellow gold is shown jumping over the word Pace in white on a blue background with the word Athletics in small yellow type below. The word PACE, is marked with a small arched notch in the upper left side of each letter, which slightly incorporates the institutional logo that contains a large swoosh.

Pace Director of Athletics Joseph O’Donnell is excited about the new look. “We are looking forward to presenting this new identity to the public. The student-athletes are excited about the new look that emits determination, strength and power,” O’Donnell said.

Greg Malek, owner of a small design company called Unlike Designs, designed the logo and the various stylish wordmarks that are packaged with it. Malek was a Pace University baseball player from 1993-97.

“I’m glad I could give something back to the university where I received my education,” Malek said, adding, “I saw a need and we were able to make it work. This is a sporty, stylish look that adds an identity to the athletics department.”

“This comes at an exciting time within the university where we are celebrating many changes and accomplishments,” O’Donnell said, referring to the university’s upcoming year-long Centennial celebration that will commence in late 2005 and culminate in 2006.

The new logo will be used only by the athletics department and will be phased in and will be present on uniforms beginning with football and women’s soccer during the upcoming fall 2005 seasons; the Goldstein Fitness Center arena floor; athletics publications; and various signage throughout the athletics facilities.
