Hawkeyes Wordmark Logo
The Iowa Hawkeyes are the athletic team of the University of Iowa, located in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes have a long and storied history with many accomplishments over the years. One important part of this history is their wordmark logo, which has been used for decades to represent their school spirit and pride. In this essay, we will explore how it has evolved over time to become one of college sports’ most iconic logos today.
The first version was introduced in 1972 as an update from previous designs that had been used since at least 1936. It featured a bold “IOWA” text set against two black lines representing wings on either side; all enclosed within a shield shape outlined by a gold trimming along its edges and filled with alternating black-and-white stripes inside it – symbolizing both strength and speed associated with hawks flying through the sky above them. This design stayed relatively unchanged until 1999 when they added an outline around each letter making them stand out more prominently while also adding some texture to give it more depth overall; creating what is now known as ‘the modern look.'
Today, fans can still recognize these same features while enjoying new refinements such as color variations (most notably replacing white stripes inside the shield with yellow ones) or incorporating elements like stars or flames into its design depending on specific occasions where they want something unique yet recognizable at once glance - ensuring that everyone knows who you cheer for! Ultimately though no matter how many times changes so does our beloved logo but one thing remains constant: that being every Hawk fan's love & loyalty towards his/her team regardless if victory comes easy or not - because after all 'It's All About The Iowans!'
