Remember the idea to put a back-lit Hog on the back of the Pig Screen at DWRRS?

[WizardofhOgZ]

About 16 mos. ago, I posted a picture of Alex Collins (for some reason, it is no longer in the OP . . . but I will post it below) that showed him in one of the U of A Athletic building and a Razorback Football image (one I'd never seen before) that was back-lit.  I made the suggestion that we put a large traditional Razorback on the back of our Pig Screen in the NEZ and back-light it in red.  That suggestion received a lot of positive support here and the other places I made similar posts. 

http://www.hogville.net/yabbse/index.php?topic=535337.0

I sent the picture and suggestion to Jeff Long, who responded that he'd take it under advisement.

I see by looking at the artists' renditions for the new upgrades to our Outdoor Track facility that it will contain exactly what I'm talking about on that scoreboard (the second picture below best displays the effect).  I'm thrilled to see that they are incorporating this suggestion, and still have hope that they will eventually do this also on the back of the Pig Screen.






By the way, this is the pic that was in the OP of the original thread.  I already had come up with the Pig Screen idea long before.  This was just a picture that showed the general back-lighting effect I was talking about, even if it was with a different kind of logo.  I have no idea why it was stripped from the OP - probably the link I used for that post is no longer good (I can no longer edit it to check).

Good deal Wiz. Would you mind calling Jeff and tell him to sell beer throughout DWRRS? Sure would make it easier on a bunch of us folks. Much obliged.

While you're doing good works, ask him to get rid of Pepsi and bring in Coke products too!

Man I soooo prefer Coke however from a food service standpoint Pepsi makes more sense in this
situation. Pepsi works for their money, they know they are number two and will work with businesses. Pepsi kicks Cokes ... on price and customer service. Coke wins on brand preference and they know it. Pepsi will work their butts off for ya while Coke will make you call Memphis/Atlanta to get a service call and then "forget" to show up.

After all, it is "the real thing."

I remember the OP post wiz.  Good work man!  I want to see it badly on the football stadium as well.

Does your images still load on the OP?  I couldnt see them

I remember the post.  Looks great on track scoreboard, and hope it makes it to the FB stadium.

Ok fine.  Just give me a bottle of water.

I remember reading about your idea and thought it was pretty dang brilliant.  If the AD doesnt want to do it this year maybe we can get something started on Kickstarter.

I'm with ya...

I remember the post as well. It looks sweet on the track display and a huge one on the back of the jumbotron would be frickin awesome! It would be so cool to see it from blocks away!

No.  As I mentioned in the OP of this thread, for some reason the original pic in the older thread does not show up.  I can only guess that the link is obsolete.  However, I did find the same pic (the one of Alex Collins sitting on a sofa with the Razorback Football logo on the wall beside him) and included it at the bottom of this thread's OP, right below the artist renditions.  Here is is again:

Dasani or Aguafina?

For that matter, it would look great over the main entrance to Bud Walton and Baum Stadium as well (sized appropriately for those venues).  Really, ANY of our athletic facilities. 

A fabulously simple, yet elegant branding move, IMO.

I remember it as well. It would look awesome. Good job Wiz.

BTW, I'm behind you on the kickstarter idea.
