Golden Eagles Wordmark Logo

For sports fans, the history behind a team’s logo is often as fascinating as the games they play. The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles have an iconic wordmark logo that has been around since their inception in 1965. This classic design has stood the test of time and is one of college athletics' most recognizable logos today.

The original wordmark featured two lines with “Oral Roberts University” written on top in bold gold letters, followed by “Golden Eagles” below it in smaller black lettering. This simple yet powerful design perfectly matched ORU's mission statement: "To bring glory to God through excellence." It quickly became synonymous with school spirit and pride among students and alumni.

Over time, minor changes were made to keep up with trends but remain true to its roots, such as adjusting font sizes or adding subtle details like shading or outlining certain elements for emphasis—all while maintaining its timeless look throughout each iteration over the years until the present day!

As we continue cheering on our beloved Golden Eagles this season, let us take some time out of our day-to-day lives and appreciate all that goes into creating such an iconic symbol representing our team and what we stand for faithfulness & courage!
