In reply to: Rather OT, but wasn't there a high school with initials  posted by enginerd194


Monken, age 47, is (surprise, surprise) a big fan of the 80’s band known as “Van Halen”. Interestingly, however, the Vernon Hills’ football coach claims that the band that rocked the 80s never entered his consciousness--in his planning of the high school’s new team logo.

Monken says, instead, that a Virginia Tech national title football game in 2000, was the source of his “inspiration”—the coach deciding he wanted to make a Vernon Hills (VH) logo logo similar to the VT used by the Virigina “Hokies”. Apparently originality runs deep. The coach then swapped that idea, kind of, leaning toward Van Halen.

A Van Halen song had started to play during the Virginia Tech game, apparently providing Monken with what can only be dubbed ‘creative genius’. The world of advertising is apparently missing one of its key players.
