U-WlRE New scoreboard flops Fanatacism over IKEA On Saturday, we saw many firsts for the Notre Dame gameday experience. The band marched through the Law School arch. There were new gameday hospitality measures. The first shutout in the Charlie Weis era. Another first was the introduc­ tion of the new energy efficient scoreboards. font change While we applaud the University’s concern for the environment and energy con­ sumption, we feel that the manner in which new LED displays were used detracted Thanks to the blend of current events, coupled with numerous domes­ from the unique atmosphere of Notre Dame Stadium.

Graphics were simple and certainly did not compare to other over-the-top stadium For more than 60 years, IKEA has represented the charming Swedish vendor of inexpensive, unique home furnishings. scoreboards, which was just fine. The simple scoreboard ensured that fans focused on the game and evoked a more traditional feel inside the stadium. The company’s 2010 catalog delivers familiar Bissan Rafe appeal, but this time the text is brandished by The new display has full color, which is a welcome upgrade. However, this has the not-so-familiar Verdana font. turned out to be a double edged sword. While some displays, like the monogram and Although the company has not provided an offi­ University of American flag in full color, were classy additions, other new usages were inappropri­ cial reason for the change, IKEA spokeswoman Houston ate. Following a big defensive play, the moon exploding followed by “Bam!” was Monika Gocic said the Verdana font is more cost- The Daily Cougar completely unnecessary. If we just got a first down on a 12-yard run, we don’t need to be told “What a sweet run” it was (and why isn’t the running back wearing school efficient because Verdana, which is distributed by Microsoft, allows IKEA to use the same font in colors?). The “Get loud” and clapping animations were superfluous, and frankly, all countries. insulting. Notre Dame fans are intelligent enough to follow a game and know when to clap and cheer. The difference between the fonts is virtually unnoticed. But according So what are we asking for? We want the scoreboard to tell us what we want to to the designers and thousands of fans, the change reflects an unfavor­ able alteration to the IKEA brand. The main complaint protesters share, know, such as other game scores and game stats. The scoreboard should not display silly graphics that serve no purpose. When fans enter Notre Dame Stadium, they besides the font’s ugly appearance, is that the original font portrayed IKEA’s innovative philosophy. The Futura font provided a unique theme should experience a traditional and unique experience that can’t be found anywhere that fit the company’s style. else. Unfortunately, some of the new graphics are out of place, and they should no longer be used. Amid all the tragedies in the news, IKEA’s font fiasco has provoked an immediate hostile response. The uproar created on blogs, Twitter and other social-networking Web sites fueled Romanian design consultant Stephen Siena Marius Ursache to start an online petition aimed at persuading IKEA to junior bring back the Futura font.
