Navy Midshipmen Logo PNG
The logo of the athletic teams representing the United States Naval Academy has been incredibly consistent. It has remained virtually intact for over 70 years.
Meaning and history
1906 – 1969
In 1942, a much simpler emblem was adopted. It was dominated by a large block “N” in navy blue over the white background. While the letter itself looked totally generic, the star in the top right corner added the visual reference to the Navy and the United States, as stars are among the most important elements of the country’s flag.
1969 – 1996
This logo is a depiction of their mascot – a white human-like ram, mostly colored white. He’s holding a grey anchor in his hands and wears a dark blue jersey. In its center, there’s a yellow letter ‘N’ and a star nearby, like on the previous designs.
1996 – 2009
This time, they used the same tropes, but made the ram into a more animal-like shape. It was now charging into something out-of-vision, had bright yellow horns and wore a blue cloth on its back. On it, there was also the usual ‘N’ emblem (in yellow), but with two stars.
2009 – 2014
The color scheme was bleached by 2009, making all the yellow bits pale brown.
2014 – Today
We should also mention the gold version of the Navy Midshipmen logo. Apart from the color, it looks almost exactly as the navy one. Additionally, there is the word “Navy” under the emblem and dark blue trim.
