Meaning and History
Following the tradition of all inter-university teams, Eastern Illinois Panthers wear a logo with an image of their mascot. In different years, the panther looked different. In 1988-1999 she looked like an anthropomorphic cat. Artists dressed her in a blue sweater with a black EIU inscription. In 2000-2014 the panther lost its human features. The image turned out to be more abstract because the head ends with black, blue, and white lines. Below is the full name of the sports department.
In 2015, executives approved a new logo with a modern design. The base is a triangular heraldic shield. It depicts the head of a panther, which looks to the right. The main palette is blue, but the animal is partially painted white. Under the shield is the inscription “Eastern Illinois,” made in an elegant font.
