Meaning and history
1907 – 1978
The old DePaul Blue Demons logo adopted in 1978 featured a large blue “D” on the white background. There was hardly anything unique about it – just a regular block capital letter.
1979 – 1998
Only a year later, though, the team unveiled an emblem sporting a side view of a stylized blue demon with a long thin tail and a beard.
1999 – 2005
In this form, DePaul Blue Demons logo existed until 1999 when it was redrawn from scratch. This time, the devil looked completely different. You could see a side view of his face over a blue shield.
2005 – 2021
It’s the same shield emblem, but with a darker color palette.
2021 – Today
The basis of the next design is the same horned shield of dark blue. Except, its contents now amount to just the demon’s head drawn in full face, which occupies much of the center. It’s blue with a sizeable black shadow on the left and bright red eyes.
