Meaning and History
The modern Duquesne Dukes logo is very discreet, although the previous versions did not differ in minimalism. The department always had bright emblems with color accents, complex shapes, and catchy images. For example, in 1982, a sign appeared with the red letter “D” and the curved word “Dukes.” In 1999, the logo was replaced by the unusual inscription “Duquesne Dukes.”
In 2007, the teams acquired a logo depicting a man in a black cylinder hat. This is the duke mentioned in the name of the sports department. For the next part, the designers chose a stylized font with original design elements. But everything was changed by the 2019 redesign. Since then, the simple letter “D” in the shape of a curved polygon has been used as an emblem.
