Margie ~ Per my voicemail, see attached and below. We'd love to have your voice in the room if you
have any desire or are able to participate. It might dovetail nicely with campus’ current evaluation,

‘Subject: Graphic Identity Group Pre-Meeting: Goals and Objectives
I'd like to ask for some assistance next week, and for the next few months, as we engage in an
evaluation with the Graphic Identity Group from Nike. Nike will be in town Thursday March 13" for
an initial round of interviews and tours of our campus, our facilities, who we are and how we got,
where we are, They will meet with this group, a group of coaches, student-athletes and more.
Knowing that some of you will be out Thursday for SEC MBB, '’d like to get together on Monday or
‘Tuesday to discuss our goals and objectives for this graphic evaluation, which those of us in town
will elay to Nike on Thursday. Items such as clarifying colors, marks, fonts, numerals, uniform
aesthetics, branding, etc. are all possible areas for evaluation.
| will send a meeting maker for Monday at 10:00 in the executive staff conference room.
Additionally, we will likely meet with Nike on Thursday at from 9:00-10:00.
See the attached materials to familiarize yourself with their processes, We are attempting to
condense what is normally an 18 month process into significantly less given that products for
athletics and retail are being developed as we speak. We'd love to launch with Nike with a
deliberate plan and identity in hand, or somewhat close to that destination,
| appreciate all your help with this.
