Army Black Knights Logo PNG
The history of the athletic teams representing the United States Military Academy has preserved at least five logotypes.
Meaning and history
1946 – 1974
The oldest Army Black Knights logo was a pretty intricate one. In fact, it was the coat of arms of the U.S. Military Academy, which was also used as a logo. You could see a shield broken into two fields: a blue field on the top with white and red stripes below. On the forefront, there was a gold helmet. Above the helmet, an eagle with its wings spread could be seen.
1974 – 2000
In 1974, the coat of arms was replaced by a slab serif “A” in yellow. On the forefront, a black stallion could be seen.
2000 – 2006
In spite of its retro feel, this logo survived for over 25 years before eventually a completely new one was developed in 2000. This time, the knight theme was by far more pronounced. You could actually see the upper part of the body of a knight as well as the head of his horse. Below, the lettering “Army Black Knights” in two lines could be seen. In 2006, an emblem with a knight facing forward was introduced.
2006 – 2015
The redesign of 2006 introduced a redrawn Army Black Knight logo, keeping the color palette of the previous version. The Knight was holding a sword in his hand and had his cloak waving to the right. The sword was crossing the upper part of an enlarged letter “A” in a custom typeface with sharp detail in the upper left corner. The letters were drawn in black and boasted a thick triple outline of white, beige, and black. It was a beautiful and memorable logo, which stayed with the club for almost nine years.
2015 – Today
Eventually, in 2015, the current Army Black Knights logo was unveiled. It is more minimalistic, easier to remember and reproduce.
