Texas A&M Aggies Primary Logo 2021 - Present
There have been few colleges with a more storied history than the University of Texas A&M. The institution was founded in 1876. When it was founded, it was established as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. Nearly nine decades later, the Texas legislature opted to rename the school to Texas A&M University. Texas A&M has the second-largest student population in the United States. Their team’s nickname is the Aggies.
As a result of their history, it is evident that the logo has undergone numerous changes.
Of course, the first logo that the institution had revolved around its old name. The old logo features a maroon wordmark “Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas” and “Est 1876” in a wavy form. In addition, the stylized letters “AMC” are intertwined. The letters “A” & “M” were colored maroon while the “C” logo was colored white. The “C” is also in a font reminiscent of the Chicago Bears' font.
This logo was in use from 1876 to 1907.
In 1908, the logo changed; it included the intertwined letters "AMC" in maroon. The “A” and “M” were in maroon. However, the key difference is that the "C" is colored in maroon.
The school went with a completely different change in their next logo upgrade. The logo consisted of a large "T" wordmark in bold, positioned in the center, surrounded by smaller "A" and "M" wordmarks. The "A" is to the left of the prominent "T" wordmark, while the "M" is to the right of the notable "T" wordmark.
The logo was colored brown. Yet, the logo had a white outline.

Following this version, the logo underwent a slight upgrade in terms of color and boldness. The prominent "T" wordmark remained in the middle, and the "A" and "M" wordmarks remained to the left and right, respectively. However, the color of the logo was now maroon, and it was much bolder than the previous logo. The "T" wordmark features a bolder white outline that is visible across the top and middle.
Recently, this school made a significant upgrade that should invoke pride in those who live deep in the heart of Texas. The logo consisted of the previous logo format, featuring a large "T" wordmark in the center, an "A" wordmark on the left, and an "M" to the right. However, this logo is colored white. A maroon outline is noticeable in the logo.
The key differentiator is the drawing of the state of Texas that surrounds the newly white wordmarks, which remain above. The drawing of the state of Texas is colored maroon. This new logo will help to boost school pride as well as state pride.
