Meaning and History
In 1991, the sports department adopted a logo with the inscription “UDM Titans.” The abbreviation is positioned above, and the team nickname is below, in a blue rectangle with a red frame. In the letter “D” lies a helmet of ancient Greek warriors decorated in the middle with a large crest. The form of a head is also traced.
In 2008, artists depicted other military attributes on the emblem: a sword and shield. They are placed in the background. The inscription “Detroit Titans” is pushed forward. The second word looks bright due to the red color and unusual font. A zigzag of lightning stretches from the left of the lower part of the letter “S.”
The next logo change occurred in 2016. Designers expanded the inscription, adding the word “Mercy” to the word “Detroit.” Designers also darkened the shades of red and blue to match the official school palette.
