Bears Wordmark Logo

The Central Arkansas Bears wordmark logo has a long and storied history, spanning over a century of collegiate athletics. The original design was created in 1909 by the school’s first athletic director, Dr. John C. Futrall, who wanted to create an iconic symbol that would represent the university’s spirit and pride on the field of play.

Since its inception in 1909, there have been several iterations of this classic logo but it is still recognizable today as representing the University of Central Arkansas Athletics with minor changes to modernize it throughout time while maintaining its traditional look and feel that makes it so beloved among alumni and students alike. In 2009 UCA celebrated 100 years since Dr. Futrall's creation with a special edition commemorative version featuring two bears facing each other and holding up their paws which can be seen displayed prominently at sporting events on campus today!

The current version features two bold black bears surrounded by white lettering spelling out “Central Arkansas Bears” along with red accents for added emphasis against a navy blue background making for an eye-catching combination when placed upon any type of apparel or merchandise associated with UCA Athletics. It is also used as part of many promotional materials such as banners or posters around campus showing off Bear Pride! This timeless mark will continue to serve as an integral part of unifying all members under one banner no matter where they may be located geographically across our great nation - GO BEARS!!!
