49ers Wordmark Logo

Long Beach State 49ers is a well-known college sports team that has been around for decades. Throughout its history, the school has had several different logos and wordmarks associated with it. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the evolution of Long Beach State's logo and wordmark over time.

The first version of the Long Beach State logo was created in 1949 when the school adopted its current name “49ers” to reflect its connection to California's gold rush era. This original design featured an old-fashioned miner wearing overalls holding up two pickaxes crossed above his head while standing atop a mountain range silhouette with “LBSU” written across it in bold block letters below him.

In 1971, there was another update made to the logo which included changing out some of its elements such as replacing miners' hats with one resembling more closely those worn by prospectors during California Gold Rush days as well as adding additional colors like blue and white alongside red & yellow used before then; additionally, they added stylized sun rays emanating from behind him along w/ new lettering style – all these changes were meant 2 give off the feeling that LBSU athletics teams are powerful yet also have deep roots within state history.

By 1997, things changed again when the university decided to completely revamp its visual identity: gone were miners & mountains replaced instead by a modernized version featuring a bear paw print (which symbolizes strength) set against a backdrop shaped like a shield or a crest complete w/ initials inside plus bright orange outline surrounding entire thing giving the whole mark much-needed vibrancy! This newer iteration remains popular today among students and faculty alike who proudly display it everywhere from apparel items 2 banners throughout campus grounds.

The most recent update came about in 2017 when minor tweaks were made including increasing the size font slightly so that the words "Long Beach" could be seen better even if viewed far away; other than this small change though everything else remained the same ensuring continuity between past present versions while still allowing room growth future iterations should need to arise! All said and done - no matter what form takes - one thing is always sure: the iconic 49er spirit will never die thanks part due hard work and dedication put into creating a perfect visual representation program each every year since its inception nearly 70 years ago now!
