Meaning and history
1994
The FIU Panthers logo introduced in 1994 featured a bright yellow panther over the lettering “Golden Panthers” given in a sharp-angled, dynamic type.
2001
While this emblem radiated pure fury, the following one (2001) was somewhat calmer, although it preserved the aggressive mood of its predecessor.
2009
Florida International University modified its logo in 2009 making the panther more menacing (although it was still the same very recognizable animal). Eventually, the FIU Panthers logo was slightly altered in 2009 to make the “I” more visible.
