Meaning and History
The logo, adopted in 1994, depicts a flying owl. She spread her wings wide and put forward her paws. Across is the inscription “FAU” – a reference to the name of the university. Red slanted letters have small serifs and a white outline with dark blue shadows. The latter gives them a barely noticeable 3D effect.
The redesign led to the fact that in 2005 sports teams had a completely new emblem, not similar to the previous one. This is a sketchy head of an owl, consisting of a horizontal ellipse, semicircles, and other geometric shapes in white and blue. It is supplemented by a small inscription “Florida Atlantic” on a red ribbon and large letters “FAU.” An interesting solution was the wings on the sides of the “F” and “U.” They indicate a close relationship between the university and the owls.
