<p>whats this deal w/ the dispute over the cornell logo?.. its something about the red box w/ cornell letters vs. cornell shield...did they finally resolve that?</p>
<p>Yes, many alumni (myself included) thought the "red box" logo was pretty unsophisticated and not very suitable for an institution of Cornell's stature. So they had a formal evaluation and went with the current "Cornell University" and round "shield" which is a modification of the traditional Cornell emblem. <a href="http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/04/10.28.04/identity.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/04/10.28.04/identity.html</a>.<br>

I like the current logo quite a bit.</p>
