Hornets Alternate Logo

The Alabama State Hornets' alternate logo history is an interesting one. It began in the late 1980s when the school first adopted a new mascot and identity to represent its athletic teams. The original design featured a hornet with wings spread wide, encircled by two concentric circles filled with stars and stripes. This logo was used for several years before being replaced in 1995 by an updated version featuring a more modern look that still retained elements of the original design.

In 2009, Alabama State unveiled yet another variation on its alternate logo – this time featuring a black-and-yellow color scheme instead of red-and-white as seen previously. This new iteration also included some subtle changes such as removing some of the stars from around the hornet’s head and replacing them with smaller dots to give it more depth and detail overall. Additionally, this mark also incorporated small lettering at its base which reads “Alabama State University” while slightly altering font style from previous iterations as well

Today, the current version of Alabama States' alternate Hornet Logo continues to be widely used across all sports programs at ASU including football, basketball, baseball & softball teams. Although minor adjustments have been made over time since its introduction back in 2009 - most notably making parts yellow instead of white - the overall shape remains largely unchanged. By continuing to use their iconic symbol throughout various eras & generations - The Hornets continue to honor the legacy they've built up since inception & will likely remain to go–to choice for athletics branding moving forward into the future!
