Albany Great Danes Logo PNG
Albany’s Great Danes has a cheeky logo because it used to have an image of a fearsome dog. Then the design changed and became familiar to sports organizations of this level. A block letter with a banner in the middle gives the impression of the reliability and resilience of the teams it represents.

Meaning and History
The original logo of the athletes shows a large “A” for the name of the city. Instead of the crossbar, the inscription “Albany” is used, which is located between two purple lines. They go beyond the letter and divide it into two parts.
In 2001, the emblem was updated with a Danish dog on it. It perfectly underlines the nickname of university teams. First of all, because it reflects a binding to the “Danish spirit,” readiness for a rapid jerk and the manifestation of incredible power, because this breed of dog is strong, resilient, enduring.
To the right of the dog, which froze in a waiting position, is the name of the sports department, written in large letters in two tiers. The current logo was adopted in 2008. It has the same structure as the brand symbolism of 1993, but in a more refined form: a curved arched bar and a more compact “A.”
