The Brown University athletic department presents the team’s symbol, the Brown Bears logo. The mascot’s intimidating appearance is meant to warn opponents of the seriousness of their intentions and their desire to be sure to win. It symbolizes the power and endurance typical of athletes.

Meaning and History

The modern era of the logo of this university organization started in 1997 when it was redesigned. The key role was given to the brown bear, the athlete’s mascot. It is nicknamed because of its dark skin color, height, and a powerful head, as the wild beast of the American forests. The animal has located in full-face with its paws spread out to the sides, which embrace the word “Brown.” The second part of the command name, “Bears,” is located below and is in smaller font. It is preceded by a red shaped ribbon with split ends. At the bottom of the emblem, there is a bear’s paw print.

1997 – 2002

2003 – today

In 2003, the logo’s design was radically changed: fine detailing was removed from it, leaving only two key elements. One of them is the inscription “Brown,” the other is a mascot. The name of the university department was placed on top and gave it an arched shape. At the bottom was placed the head of a brown bear with an open mouth, in which powerful white teeth can be seen.
