While the Furman Paladins logo is pretty recognizable, it lacks the emotional and imaginative power of the program’s secondary logo.
Meaning and history
1981 – 2012
Back in 1981, the athletic program of the Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, adopted a logo featuring a large white “F” on the violet background. The shape in which the “F” was placed looked like a four-pointed star or a square with its sides curved inside.
2013 – Today
In 2013, the emblem went through a subtle update. The shade of violet was a bit altered, while the letter grew bolder and slightly changed its shape.
In contrast to the minimalistic primary logo described above, the secondary Furman Paladins logo is more detailed. It includes not only the full name of the team but also a stylized knight.
