Falcons Primary Logo
The Bowling Green Falcons are an NCAA Division I collegiate athletic program located in Bowling Green, Ohio. The school is part of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and has been since its inception in 1952. As one of the oldest programs in college sports, it's no surprise that they have had a few different logos throughout its history.
The first logo for the Falcons was created back when they were known as “Bowling State College” and featured an orange falcon head with black wings perched atop an orange shield with white trimming on either side. This logo was used from 1953 until 1962 when it was replaced by another more modern design featuring a yellow falcon head inside of an oval shape surrounded by green rays emanating from behind it to create what looked like a sunburst effect around the bird’s silhouette. This design stayed relatively unchanged until 1972 when minor adjustments were made to make room for text underneath which read “BGSU Athletics” or simply just "Falcons."
In 1987, yet another new primary logo debuted featuring two interlocking arms forming what looks like two separate letter Bs above three lines representing flight paths taken by birds while soaring through the air – this symbolized strength and speed associated with being able to fly high up into the sky as well as having power within oneself that can take you places if you put your mind towards achieving them! The colors chosen for this particular version consisted primarily of dark blue along edges accompanied by light gray accents throughout the center portion giving the whole thing a somewhat sleek look overall; these colors remain the same today although some variations exist depending on the context/usage situation at hand such variations would include changing blues slightly lighter hue order better fit certain backgrounds/scenarios etcetera...
This current version has remained largely unchanged since its introduction over thirty years ago making it one of longest standing logos among all NCAA teams across the country! While there may be slight differences between each iteration - whether due to changes in color schemes or small stylistic alterations - core elements still remain intact ensuring continuity recognition even after so many years passed since the original debut date way back in 1953…
