While the old Heartland Conference logo looked lighter than the current one, it was also more cluttered and less dynamic in comparison with the current version.
Meaning and history
What is Heartland Conference?
Heartland Conference is an intercollegiate athletic organization, which is affiliated with the third division of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The Conference was established in 1987, and today is composed of ten college/members, fielding 18 sports disciplines where both men’s and women’s teams compete.
Old
The original logo of the Heartland Conference was dominated by the word “Heartland” in white with blue trim and a flying star with a long tail. The word “Conference” was given below in white over the red background.
Today
On the current emblem, there are only two letters, “H” and “C.” They stick together and almost form a single shape. The right vertical line of the “H” serves as the back for the “C.” The ends of the “C” are given in red, while the “H” is navy blue.
