Chanticleers Wordmark Logo

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers have a long and storied history of success in NCAA athletics. From their first NCAA Division I appearance in 1993 to the 2019 National Championship, they've been one of the most successful programs in college sports. But what many may not know is that behind all this success lies an iconic logo: The Chanticleer wordmark logo.

The Chanticleer wordmark was adopted by Coastal Carolina University Athletics back when it became a member of the Big South Conference (now part of the Sun Belt) for its inaugural season as a D-I program during the 1993–94 school year. It's based on an old English heraldic crest that features two crossed swords over three stars and has become synonymous with CCU Athletics ever since then.

Over time, there have been some minor changes to enhance its overall look such as making it more legible or giving it more dimensionality but at its core, this design has remained largely unchanged since being introduced almost 30 years ago! It’s also worth noting that while other schools within our conference may use similar designs or color schemes; no other team can lay claim to having quite the same unique representation as ours does with “the chant” – something we are very proud of!

In addition to serving as our primary athletic identity symbol across all platforms (uniforms, apparel, etc.), you will find versions appearing everywhere from signs & banners around campus up to promotional materials used throughout community outreach efforts – truly making us stand out among peers both visually and emotionally speaking alike!
