Meaning and history
2001 – 2008
The badge, designed for the American International College Yellow Jackets in 2001, hasn’t changed much by today. It was a caricature of the team’s mascot, a funny yet aggressive Rex wasp, which brilliantly reflects the character and commitment of the club. The wasp was drawn in bold smooth lines of a dark yellow and black color palette, with white wings, gloves, and shoes, as well as the bold white sans-serif “AIC” lettering in the black jersey of Rex the Wasp.
2009 – Today
Since at least 2001, the American International Yellow Jackets logo has featured the wasp mascot, Rex. Rex has always been running, and its sting has been pretty visible. However, it hasn’t looked exactly the same. In 2009, the shape of the sting and the stripes was slightly modified.
As the result of a more recent update, the sting has been moved backward, while the wasp put on black shorts.
The choice of colors featured on the AIC Yellow Jackets logo – black, white, and gold – fits the wasp theme perfectly. The Logo Usage & Brand Standards Manual recommends using the shade of gold with the following coordinates: Pantone 1235, Hex FFCC33.
