Red Storm Wordmark Logo
The St. John's Red Storm wordmark logo has a long and storied history that dates back to the university’s founding in 1870. The original logo was created by artist Thomas J. Smith, who drew inspiration from the school’s red-and-white colors and its location on Staten Island in New York City. The iconic design features two bold “S” letters intertwined with a lightning bolt, which is meant to represent strength and power—a perfect symbol for an athletic team!
Over time, the Red Storm wordmark has been used on everything from jerseys to hats as well as official merchandise like mugs and tumblers; it even made an appearance at Madison Square Garden during one of St John's basketball games! As recognition grew for this beloved emblem, so did the demand for more items featuring it: today you can find everything from phone cases to license plates adorned with this classic symbol of college pride.
As much as times have changed since its creation over 150 years ago, one thing remains constant: when you see that familiar red-and-white logo emblazoned across any item or venue associated with St Johns University athletics—you know exactly what team they are cheering for! This is why it continues to be such an integral part of their identity today; no matter where they go or how far away they travel—they will always carry their spirit along with them wherever life takes them next.
