91自拍's Department of Athletics unveiled refreshed logos on Friday, Feb. 7, amid several events celebrating and showcasing the updated design.
It's been 30 years since the current tiger shield logo was designed, and a lot has changed at 91自拍 in three decades.
The development of the Ed Robson Arena provided the ideal opportunity to consider an athletics logo update, and the construction of the new building, currently underway, allows for the unveiling and display of the refreshed logo to 91自拍, the Colorado Springs community, and regional fans.
"This is an exciting day for the Tigers," says 91自拍 Vice President and Director of Athletics Lesley Irvine. "The logo refresh speaks directly to the momentum of 91自拍 athletics on campus. It also allows us an opportunity to build on visibility and identity in a focused and consistent way. !"
The refreshed logo and accompanying visual identity system provide the opportunity for all 91自拍 athletics teams to appear unified and consistent in their uniforms and sports gear. This allows 91自拍 teams to look their best during competition, and promotes a modern, professional-looking presentation to opponents and the public.
91自拍 engaged alumni, students, faculty, and staff, and worked with Joe Bosack and Co., a leader in sports team logos and identity. Last spring, the firm held a series of focus groups with student athletes, athletics staff, student leaders, faculty and staff, local alumni, and the Board of Trustees to review logo versions and discuss the essential elements that the updated logo needed to express. Athletics staff and the Board of Trustees weighed in on options and the stakeholder group selected the final logo.
The interlocking 91自拍 logo will be displayed at center ice at the Broadmoor World Arena and center court in Reid Arena in 91自拍's El Pomar Sports Center.
