Knights Wordmark Logo
The Central Florida Knights wordmark logo has a long and rich history. The original logo, which was introduced in 1979, featured the iconic “UCF” letters inside of a shield with an orange-and-black color scheme. This design represented the school's commitment to excellence and its pride in being part of the Central Florida community.
Over time, this classic logo evolved into various iterations that still honor UCF’s strong ties to its roots while also embracing modern design trends. In 2002, for example, UCF unveiled a new version featuring bolder lettering and more vibrant colors that better reflected their spirit as an ever-growing university on the rise.
Today’s updated version features two versions—one for athletics and one for academics—that combine traditional elements with modern touches such as sleek typography and an eye-catching black outline around each letterform that gives it extra visual impact when seen from far away or a small sizes like on apparel items or digital graphics formats used online or through social media channels. No matter what form it takes though, all versions of this beloved symbol pay tribute to UCF's legacy while providing fans with something they can be proud of whenever they see it displayed anywhere across campus or beyond!
