Meaning and History
The old Eastern Kentucky Colonels emblem, which was used from 1966 to 2004, did not differ in variety. It was the inscription “EKU” – an abbreviation for the full name of the institution. The dark abbreviation is circled in double. There are no letter-spacing: the characters are located right next to each other, “K” and “U” merge at the top.
Since 2004, the logo includes a graphic element. Artists depicted the head of a man with gray hair, a beard, and mustache, and lowered eyebrows. As planned by the authors, this is the same colonel who is the mascot of sports teams. He wears a wide-brimmed hat and bow tie. On the right is the inscription “Eastern Kentucky Colonels,” divided into two lines.
