Penn State logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG Penn State Logo PNG Pennsylvania State University has two main logotypes: an athletic logo that belongs to Nittany Lions program, and the institutional logo (“shield logo”).
- The athletic logo depicts a lion’s head in navy blue.
- Meaning and history The Nittany Lion was chosen as the mascot for the athletic program of Pennsylvania State University in the early 1990s.
- Interestingly enough, by the time the lion was chosen as the school’s emblem, not a single lion had been seen near Mount Nittany for two or three decades.
- According to him, the school made its goal to start making money out of the University’s merchandize – the approach that had not been used by other schools before.
- An attorney recommended Fisher to begin with creating a unique logo and licensing it.
- Emblem Because of the fact that Nittany lion was extinct, Roy Parcels of the Dixon and Parcels agency, which was commissioned to create the Penn State logo, had some problems figuring out what the animal could look like.
- He seemed to be on the same page with the coaches in the University’s teams, who had been surveyed for the purpose: many of them wanted the emblem to emphasize the lion’s class and dignity.
- The second series of designs, which was presented in about three months, was more successful.
- In comparison with the previous wordmark logo, which was a custom artwork rather than a combination of glyphs taken from an existing font, the current logo looks simple, if not generic.
- In terms of legibility, though, the current type is by far better.
- You can easily read it at first glance, while its predecessor was somewhat confusing.
- Color The two colors seen on the Penn State Nittany Lions logo are navy blue (Pantone 282 C) and white.
- The team’s mascot, Nittany Lion, has brown as one of its dominant colors (Pantone 1245 C).
