Salukis Wordmark Logo

The Southern Illinois Salukis have a long and storied history in the NCAA, with their iconic wordmark logo being one of the most recognizable symbols associated with them. The Salukis’ first official logo was created in 1936 when it became an independent program. It featured a simple yet powerful design: two “S”s placed side by side to form an abstract representation of a Saluki dog. This original logo has remained largely unchanged ever since, although it has been tweaked slightly over time to reflect modern trends and tastes.

In 2006, the school redesigned its primary athletics wordmark for use on all uniforms and merchandise items from then on out. This new version featured bolder fonts that were easier to read at smaller sizes as well as more intricate details within the “S”s themselves that helped create depth within this classic symbol set against any background color or pattern imaginable—a feature that makes it even more effective today than before!

Over time, various other logos have been created for special occasions like bowl games or tournament play but none are quite as popular nor widely recognized across collegiate sports fans everywhere than this timeless piece of art representing SIU Athletics; making sure everyone knows who you root for no matter where you go! So whether cheering them on from afar or right there in Carbondale cheering alongside fellow Saluki faithful—it is safe to say that their iconic wordmark will always be proudly displayed wherever they may roam!
