Meaning and history

Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders Logo history

1945 – 1975

Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders Logo 1945
The first logo they used was simply a black-and-white drawing of a rider astride a galloping horse.

1975 – 1998

Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders Logo-1981


The first emblem, used by the athletic team from the Middle Tennessee State University was created in 1975 and used for more than a decade. It was a blue and white badge with the University name abbreviated and nothing else. Though it didn’t look simple or boring, as the MTSU lettering was set in a custom Sans-serif typeface with white lines outlines in blue from both sides.

1998 – 2015

The redesign of 1998 made the logo more complicated, putting the whole name of the team under a graphical emblem and underlining it by the “Middle Tennessee” inscription in clean black capitals. The wordmark was set in two styles — “Blue” in bold blue capitals of a Sans-serif font, and “Raiders” in extra-bold font with custom letters in a double thin black and white outline. The emblem on the logo featured an elegant gray Pegasus, a winged horse, moving to the right.

In 2007 the logo was changed again, this time in a very minimalist manner, with only two letters, “M” and “T”, on it. The letters were glued to each other, but with the “T” placed slightly lower than the “M”. Both were executed in an extra-bold square serif typeface, with bright blue bodies and a double white and black outline. This bright and clean badge looks good on the team’s uniform and evokes a sense of professionalism and stability.
