Davidson Wildcats: Brand overview
Meaning and History
The logo of the Davidson Wildcats is a reflection of their name. The logo depicts the head of a wildcat, with its ears pressed back and its teeth bared. It warns of the danger of approaching it and shows opponents its main weapon – sharp fangs. The style has changed several times. From 1985 to 2009, the emblem resembled an unfinished sketch. Artists paid attention to details, but since the drawing was done in a black-and-white palette, it looked more like a pencil sketch.
In 2010, designers changed the graphics, moving from a realistic style to an animated one. Now, the wildcat is depicted schematically. The background is a small red diamond, which is located exactly in the center. Initially, the color of the geometric figure was close to the color of blood. After updating the logo, a bright raspberry shade was used.
