I am a stickler for details and balance so thought I would point out an example I recently saw that does a sub par job. Sometimes I can get tunnel vision and miss things too but the high profile logo of The Ohio State University should be perfect.

I noticed that my alma mater’s logo looked a little off.  I did some digging and even contacted a friend of mine with an officially licensed logo in PDF format.  It turns out that the logo is more than a little off.  As you can see below there are some large balance issues that make the design appear “off”.

OSU The Ohio STate University Logo

The logo looks OK on its own but only a keen eye for pixels can identify the balance issues a logo may have.

    Is this your fancy way of saying that the OSU logo is not symmetrical?
