Scarlet Knights Wordmark Logo

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights wordmark logo is a symbol of pride and tradition for the university. It has been used by the school since its founding in 1766, but it wasn’t until 1984 that an official version was adopted. The original design featured a shield with two crossed swords and a knight’s helmet on top, while today’s version includes just the knight's helmet over “Rutgers University.”

In 1994, Rutgers updated their logo to include more modern elements such as bolder colors and sharper edges to better reflect their status as one of New Jersey's premier universities. This new look included brighter red hues along with black trim around each letter in “Rutgers University." Additionally, they added white stars above both words which represented excellence – something all students strive for during their college experience at Rutgers.

Today, the Scarlet Knights' wordmark logo continues to be proudly displayed across campus from banners hung outside buildings or printed onto t-shirts worn by students who are proud members of this prestigious institution! From its classic origins to present-day updates; this iconic emblem will continue representing Rutgers well into future generations!
