Montana Grizzlies Logo PNG
Montana Grizzlies and Lady Griz are the athletic teams representing the University of Montana in Missoula.
Meaning and history
While the previous version of the Montana Grizzlies logo was pretty heavy and cluttered, the current one looks more dynamic and clear, although it is in no way minimalistic.
The crest introduced in 1996 featured a rather realistic grizzly bear walking forward. The name of the team could be seen above.
On the current version of the Montana Grizzlies logo, only the lettering “Griz” can be seen. The nickname of the team is given in an artistic type imitating handwriting. The upward slope and the streak below the lettering add dynamism.
