I don't know; the Waterloo logo looks like something that might quickly become dated, and lacks the elegance of a classic logo, but certainly captures an element of a modern electronica influence.

In contrast, the UC system's logo actually has some thoughtful elements (the book leaves forming the 'U') that are executed inartfully.

Or, to mince fewer words: Waterloo's new logo looks less ugly to me, circa 2012, than does UC's.
