This is what the Devaney Center basketball court looked like Jan. 26, 2011 (my picture):<\/p>\n

Big Ten logos at Nebraska games are still weird, and still so wrong.<\/p>\n

Nebraska’s website still has the press release from when the court was refurbished in 2004<\/a>. This Nebraska fan forum topic<\/a> indicates the court was redone in 2011, although honestly it looks like the bigger N and Big Ten logo are big decals over the old ones because of the white bases. The phrase “Bob Devaney Sports Center” has switched sides and is now in a blocky font as opposed to what might have been Helvetica.<\/p>\n

Unlike Hilton Coliseum, the basketball court is a permanent part of the building, according to this Lincoln Journal-Star piece from 2010<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The logo at the center of Carver-Hawkeye Arena got bigger in 2011 as well, the post-1994 ISU logos are big, and plenty of other arenas use big center-court logos. (See my Texas<\/a> and A&M<\/a> posts from January 2012.) I suppose it’s a branding thing, but at current levels they makes the court look too “busy.” There’s something to be said for the minimalist look the Devaney Center court had in the 2000s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
