At first glance, it is clear that the Alcorn State Braves logo is blocky. It symbolizes leadership, lofty goals, and inaccessibility to competitors. Large serifs, harmoniously connected with the lower part, embody the stability and steadfastness of the sports organization in achieving victories.

Meaning and History
The first and modern logo looks almost the same. It shows the confidence of the teams, loyalty to sports principles. The 1996 version shows a single letter “A” in a classic upper case serif font. Instead of the crossbar, it says, “Alcorn.” It goes beyond the sign and divides it into two parts.
After a redesign in 2004, the logo has a 3D effect. The effect is formed by the large letter flare and darkening on the right side of the word “Alcorn,” which is made in the capital font. As a result of the next update (2017), the color of the emblem has been enhanced: instead of beige, there is gold instead of purple – dark purple.
