In terms of visual identity, the Eagles from the Coppin State University in Maryland have been very consistent and loyal to its original badge with the program’s mascot and delicate yet strong lettering behind it. The color palette of the Coppin State Eagles hasn’t changed much throughout the years either.
The Coppin State Eagles logo, designed in 1988, featured a bright blue and yellow composition with the yellow in blue outline placed on a background with the elegant serif “CSC” (Coppin State College during those years) abbreviation, written in blue capitals. The bird was drawn facing to the right and with its wings spread up. It was a lively and memorable badge, which at the same time looked pretty simple, evoking a sense of stability and confidence.
The redesign of 2004 changed the “CSC” lettering to “CSU”, as the college for the University status, and had its color palette refreshed; with both blue and yellow shades getting calmer and slightly darker. The new muted color palette and the refined cleaned contours of all elements made the badge look stronger and more professional. As for the lettering, the typeface remained I’m the same, and the bird on the emblem also repeated the silhouette and style of the previous version but had its outline and details drawn in thinner lines.
In 2017 the Coppin State Eagles logo got redesigned again, and this time the image got stronger and more stable. The main change of the year was in the replacement of the elegant narrowed font from the previous badge with the new massive and square serif typeface. The extra-bold letters of the “CSU” abbreviation were also executed in a darker shade of blue, while the yellow of the eagle became lighter, creating a strong contrast between the elements.
