I like that cursive D as well, it is stylish. But I come from a school that uses a plain ole "I" that could be misconstrued to be Illinois State, Indiana, or any number of schools. I liked it better when Cy identified our school. (I love all your "d"s by the way)

I notice your last name starts with a ‘D.’ I would not advertise that around Drake. You might get sued. I am similarly disassociating myself with my first initial. I will go with the name Aniel from here on out.

This foofaraw lawsuit is much ado about nothing.

Reminds me of the Sesame Street songs about letters.

C is for Cookie

D is for Dingdong. [which is less likely to be bleeped than Dumb***.]

Nice analysis! When you used the word “dogmatic,” it gave me an idea. Maybe the Drake Times-Delphic should start an editorial column “Dogma.”

Reading about the lawsuit, first thing I thought of was the cursive, stylized letter 'D' and why Drake didn't use that particular design in ALL their ads. When I see that cursive 'D' I immediately think of Drake University. As I'm certain others do. I knew nothing of the history, it being designed back in 2006. I just know that, for me, it represents 'Drake' in a unique, positive fashion.
