Austin Peay Governors Logo

The logo of Austin Peay Governors, the APU athletic department, displays a visualization of the athletes’ moniker. The graphic element provides:

• A recognizable elegance.
• Demonstrating sternness and rigor to the competitive struggle.
• Threatening to be sure to win.

Meaning and History

Although the old logo of the sports department was memorable, it did not meet modern requirements. Therefore, in 1992, it was decided to introduce a new version – with a graphic monogram formed from the name Austin Peay. The letters “A” (lowercase) and “P” (uppercase) are placed geometrically proportionally, as a result of which the leg of one character smoothly passes into another. This design technique adds charm to the emblem and makes it well recognizable. This contributes to the scarlet color on a white background.

This version lasted until 2014 until the current logo was created. It depicts a mustachioed governor (the nickname of university athletes) in a strict business suit. Jacket lapels are red. The white stand-up collar is tightened with an elegant black tie. Also, the gentleman has a high top hat with a red ribbon and pince-nez. A look from beneath the eyebrows is stern, austere, menacing.
