In 1991, the team adopted an emblem featuring the lettering “UDM Titans” in two lines. The word “UDM” was by far larger than “Titans.” Above the name of the team, a white helmet with the red trim could be seen.
The following Detroit Titans logo, which was unveiled in 2008, depicted a sword and a shield. The lettering “Detroit Titans” could be seen in the forefront.
