There was a big spaz-out over the University of Birmingham logo what with petitions and what-not because people thought they were abandoning the crest when they went to modify it. Turns out they didn't, and I personally didn't care that much.

I like the new Soton one to be honest!
Royal Holloway has seen some rebranding also, I think it's better though:

Though personally I think we should have our badass coat of arms in there

Holloway one looks good actually very nice improvement and gets Founder's on there too.
Oxford's just gone through this process too and though the change isn't as drastic, people were still really annoyed about it.

My school did it the year I left as well - maybe it's me

I wonder how many different people we can get posting their own universities logos. Mines gone through a few changes but, personally, for the better in my opinion. I much prefer the new Soton one compared to the dolphin. The dolphin made it look cheaper and not like it was part of the Russell group... more polytechnic like, almost.

Everyone complained about the new kent uni logo too. People were going on about how they didn't want this new logo on their degree certificates because it made it look like a playschool.
Turns out they didn't even put a logo on our certificates.

I think there is scope for more identity in the Southampton logo, but font/lettering in the new logo does look better.
On this theme, my university re-branded just before I started there. It went from this (after many adaptations since the University's split from St. Andrews) :

I much prefer the new take on the old logo, as it's simplicity is visually striking an more versatile; such as it's use here:

My uni went from this;

There was a huge fuss over the change at the time. Even a few years later there are still signs brandishing the old logo, which leads me to think that the rebranding was pretty poorly executed. Personally I quite like the new logo
I quite like the Durham sports teams logo;
