Yee-haw! Episode 29 has us reading Westerns!

Plus: Matthew shows his ignorance of US history and everything rural. You can download the podcast directly, find it  on Libsyn, or get it through iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play or your favourite podcast delivery system. In this episode Anna Ferri | Meghan Whyte | Matthew Murray Recommended The Shootist by Glendon Swarthout True Grit by Charles Portis The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt Far Out & Far Out 2 (in French) by Gautier Langevin and Olivier Carpentier Did Not Finish Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry Riders of The Purple Sage by Zane Grey Links and Stuff The Lone Ranger Matthew’s pretty sure he watched this version. The space western BraveStarr in action Lucky Luke by Morris (and others) (Belgian Comic) The Sixth Gun by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt Firefly and Serenity The most recent Jonah Hex series ran for 70 issues from 2006 - 2011, All Star Western then ran for a further 34 issues from 2011 - 2014. None of you care. Pretty Deadly by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Ríos (Matthew was wrong, there are 10 issues) Loveless by Brian Azzarello and others Genreflecting: A Guide to Popular Reading Interests (Genreflecting Advisory Series) by Diana Tixier Herald, edited by Wayne A. Wiegand (There are more recent editions; this is just the one we have with the essay Anna read and recommended.) Maple syrup rustlers Global Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve Dudley Do-Right Mountie pulps are called “Northerns” or “Northwesterns” and apparently Zane Grey was influential in this genre too! There are some serious fans who keep track of this stuff! Heritage Minutes: Sam Steele - the RCMP of the Wild West There is also a cool podcast episode from Library and Archives Canada on Canadian Pulps! You should listen to it! Due South - our Canadian ‘90s moment The Spur Award (& the winners) from the Western Writer of America Awards When Matthew says what sounds like “beh day”, he’s actually saying "bd", with a terrible French Accent, for “bande dessinée”, meaning the Franco-Belgian comic tradition Zane Grey is fascinating The Wikipedia page for Riders of the Purple Sage is elaborate (and spoilery) Postum shows up in old restaurant menus and in a marketing campaign using Mr. Coffee Nerves. Search for it in New York Public Library’s historical menus. Zorro, a story and character that existed long before Antonio Banderas Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water by Marc Reisner Or, if you are like Matthew, instead you could watch Cadillacs and Dinosaurs or read the comics called Xenozoic Tales The Oregon Trail game (a Western?).

This week, Ken completes his 3-part review of higher ed branding in 2015 with a look at “New Names & Nicknames,” from DMZ to uVic! (Part 1 was “Cautionary Tales & Cautious Rebrandings” https://youtu.be/m2LF3rGiMLc . Part 2 was “Bold New Brands of 2015” https://youtu.be/pxmRfUfzZ5o .) Without a doubt, institutions are loathe to lose decades of brand equity and recognition by changing their names. Generally it occurs only when the institution’s mandate has changed significantly, such as when a college gains university status, or an institute becomes a polytechnic. (Most recently it was SIAST becoming Saskatchewan Polytechnic.) For years we’ve also seen a pretty widespread trend toward dropping adjectives like “regional” and “community” from college names, and minimizing or eliminating the use of the word “college” itself. Last spring, Saskatchewan’s Southeast Regional College launched a bright new brand identity without the word “Regional.” The AUCC rechristened itself “Universities Canada” last year, launching a “dynamic” new visual identity using a diamond rather than a square, to symbolize convergence, such as at a crossroads, a town square, or a university quad. https://youtu.be/cYeXSlzYIsw Last year we also saw Fanshawe College announce the Don Smith School of Building Technology, UBC name the Peter A. Allard School of Law, and Wilfrid Laurier University rename the Laziridis School of Business & Economics. Higher ed more often shortens names than changing them completely, such as when Ryerson University’s Digital Media Zone adopted the official name “DMZ” last spring. Ryerson University itself launched a refreshed visual identity last summer, featuring fresh new colours, a slightly modernized typeface, and a bit of “out of the box” symbolism. The positioning strategy emphasizes 5 key differentiators from other Toronto institutions, and we look at two quick brand videos to see it in action. In keeping with our “nicknames” topic, Ryerson also revealed two abbreviated logos for use in informal situations, and social media. Q&A with Sheldon Levy: https://youtu.be/i3Y7Ln2slyc Mind & Action: https://youtu.be/INllQ597-1U Last February, the University of Victoria finally embraced the nickname, “uVic,” by which they have been affectionately known for years. The dynamic new brand includes refreshed colours, a new wordmark, and new graphic elements including a wavy “connective thread” and some playful birds, martlets, drawn from the coat of arms. https://youtu.be/gsARvoBJCoU One of the challenges to adopting a shorter name for marketing purposes is opposition from internal and external stakeholders. I think perhaps uVic learned from the example set by Western University back in 2012. Critics thought the name geographically inaccurate, although frankly there are dozens of “Northwesterns” and “Southwesterns” in the eastern US. The new identity solved many technical issues, and introduced an elegant system of sub-brands that is the nicest I have seen anywhere. So we’ve seen colleges and universities use several strategies to pave the way for a new name or brand. UCFV adopted an acronym, Malaspina a memorable icon, CBU stripped away all semblance of a logo, and uVic made it clear that the old logo will continue in widespread use. The real work of rebranding an academic community isn’t creative work at all; the most challenging aspects are consultation, research, consensus building, and easing the campus into a new identity. Too many top-tier ad agencies have underestimated this challenge, or badly mishandled it. It’s the aspect of higher ed brand strategy that I think is most exciting, and it’s the reason I developed my proprietary Brand Chemistry™ model. www.BrandChemistry.ca And this week’s #ICYMI: a new recruitment theme from Dalhousie University, “Find what drives you.” Nicely addresses concerns about an intellectually-challenging student experience. https://youtu.be/2ysWuPN62og Coming up next time: a surprise episode!
