Meaning and History
In earlier versions of the logo, an Indian spear was depicted. But in the 1970s, society began to react sharply to racial stereotypes. The university had to get rid of ethnic drums here and there and emblems associated with the culture of Native Americans. As a result, sports teams have a new brand name, known in university circles as Flying C. Its current version was first introduced in 1997.
The central element of the logo is the italic letter “C.” Dashed lines along the contour surround it. It is written in geometric font with a large number of angles. To give the emblem dynamics, the artists depicted four horizontal lines of different lengths. One of them, the largest, underlines the letter below. The remaining three are located on the left side. It is also noteworthy that the Central Michigan Chippewas badge reflects the university’s official colors: burgundy (primary) and golden (optional).
