University of Phoenix Logo

Ok, ok... I've been not just a bit dense, but way dense.

Just this week, while teaching an AirMagnet class in downtown San Francisco at the University of Phoenix campus did I finally have an epiphany...


The University of Phoenix is NOT named after the city of Phoenix... but instead the mythical Phoenix bird who rises from the ashes to live again Phoenix...


Doh!


I've seen this logo for over 20 years and just this week figured out the real "Phoenix" in University of Phoenix. It took a poster on the wall that read 'I am a Phoenix' with student's head shot to finally whack me in the head on this one. Silly me.
Doh!

It does remind me of the USAA Logo though.
