Missouri State Bears Logo PNG
The visual metaphor behind the Missouri State Bears logo is totally apparent. Although the bear can be seen on various sports emblems, the author of this one has managed to make it unique.
Meaning and history
1990 – 2005
The 1990 logo depicts the head of a bear, colored dark brown. Its forms were abrupt, linear, the features showed a wide roar. Besides brown, there were also streaks of white. The lettering ‘SMS’ below pretty much follows this style.
2006 – Today
To begin with, the logo conveys a lot of emotions due to the expression of the creature’s muzzle. The bear has its mouth open, and the sharp fangs can be seen inside. The eyes, as well as the position of the eyebrows, only emphasize the impression of aggression, determination, and fury.
On the older logo, the lettering “SMS” could be seen below the bear. However, the current primary emblem features only the bear’s head, while the lettering has been left the alternative Missouri State Bears logo.
