In terms of visual identity, the Clarkson Holden Knight teams have been using one logo for almost twenty years, showing the value of history and roots of the University they represent, and also — stability and confidence. The badge, executed in an intense and juicy color palette, composed of only two shades, looks bright and strong, full of different elements, yet not overloaded, and executed quite professionally.
The Clarkson Golden Knights badge features a combination of a graphical emblem and a banner with the lettering, executed in dark green color, placed on a yellow geometric crest, with the square top, and horizontally extended triangular bottom part.
The yellow crest featured a voluminous frame in black and delicate white detail, which added a “gloss” to its surface, making the whole image more vivid and energetic. As for the green part of the logo, its upper part depicted a fully armored knight with a large yellow feather coming out of its massive helmet up and curving to the left.
The upper level of the lettering, composed of the uppercase “Clarkson” in a bold square serif typeface, was outlined in white and yellow, and placed on a horizontally stretched rectangular banner in the same shade of green, with its bottom border slightly arched up. The banner was underlined by a delicate green ribbon with a bold yellow “Golden Knights”, written over it in the same style of a typeface, but with solid letters, not outlined.
