Wildcats Wordmark Logo

Weber State Wildcats have a long and proud history of athletic excellence, and their wordmark logo has been an iconic part of that history since the school's inception. The original Weber State Wildcats logo was designed in 1979 by graphic designer Bruce Blackburn, who drew inspiration from the school’s colors – purple and white – as well as its mascot, Willie Wildcat.

The first iteration featured a bold ‘W’ with two stars on either side to represent the university’s commitment to academic excellence. This design remained largely unchanged until 2007 when it was updated slightly with a more modern typeface while still maintaining its classic look. In 2013 a new version of the logo was introduced which included an additional star above Willie Wildcat for further emphasis on academics within athletics at Weber State University (WSU).

Today, this latest version is used across all WSU sports teams along with some variations such as adding different color outlines or backgrounds depending on individual team needs or preferences. It is also seen in many places throughout campus including promotional materials like t-shirts and banners but can also be found adorning various buildings around campus where students proudly display their pride for their alma mater!
