Meaning and History
Evolution of the Appalachian State Mountaineers Logo
In 1970, the logo of the university teams had one letter – a large “A.” It denotes the word “Appalachian.” The message is in the upper case with a serifed font. It has a yellow and black edging that makes it look hollow. Inside is a triangle forming the bar and the inscription “Mountaineers,” which is as if made by hand.
Since 2004, the university mascot Yosef has been on the sport’s emblem. His head is on an improvised long beard, placed on the word combination “Appalachian Mountaineers.” The official colors of the teams are the same.
In 2014, a new logo appeared – in fact, an updated version of 1970. The designers changed the yellow and black colors, visually brightening the symbolism. This makes the letter look much bigger.
