Rams Wordmark Logo

The Fordham Rams have had a long and storied history since their inception in 1841. The university has gone through many changes over the years, including its logo, which is now an instantly recognizable symbol of the school's legacy.

Fordham’s original wordmark was created by renowned graphic designer Rudolph Ruzicka in 1921. It featured a bold “FORDHAM” with a serif typeface and two horizontal lines above it to represent the horns of a ram. This design served as an iconic representation of the university for more than four decades until 1962 when it was replaced by another variation — this time featuring three vertical lines instead of two — designed by George Giusti & Co., Incorporated from New York City.

In 1988, Fordham unveiled yet another new logo that included both words and symbols: A shield-like shape containing "Fordham" written across its top half while underneath there were two rams facing each other on either side with crossed swords between them representing strength and courage – qualities associated with being part of Rams family! The current version keeps these elements but adds additional details such as round edges on all sides plus some minor alterations to make it look even sharper overall (eagerly awaiting our next update!)

While logos may change throughout time - one thing remains true; they serve as powerful visual reminders that we are proud members united under one banner—the mighty Fordham Ram!
