Iowa school district gets more time to change logo

Jan. 5, 2014
University of Oregon says Okoboji district's logo was too similar to the university's

The University of Oregon is backing off a request that the school district in Okoboji, Iowa, completely phase out the use of a trademarked logo within a year. The Sioux City Journal reports that the district has created a new emblem, but will need more than a year to change the logo on uniforms and scoreboards. The university in December 2012 contacted the district saying the Okoboji Pioneer logo – a maroon “O” – looked too much like the Oregon logo.
