Waukee unveils new W logo (Des Moines Register)

The Waukee school district has settled on a new â??Wâ? logo remarkably similar to its predecessor, minus the tilt, shading, tail and prospect of a lawsuit.

Administrators began circulating the emblem late last week after months of retooling, a response to complaints that the â??Wâ? too closely resembled the logo used by the University of Wisconsin. Wisconsin holds a trademark on its â??W,â? used to market millions of dollars in Badger merchandise, and could have sued for infringement.
