Penn State Logo: Too Cool for Your School

August 30, 2007 01:37 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

Penn State lightly tussled with a North Carolina high school over trademark infringement after the school unveiled a logo that was "confusingly similar" to PSU's sleek Nittany Lion, the Daily Collegian reports. The high school was able to replace or prohibit the logos on jerseys and other paraphernalia, but the potentially felonious feline already was plastered over the gym floor. Because PSU is so nice, it agreed to a phase-out period for the logo, which will be replaced in the gym in five years during a scheduled resurfacing. —Alison Go
