The University of North Alabama located in Florence, Alabama, sponsors 14 varsity teams competing under the name of the North Alabama Lions.
Meaning and history
1995 – 2003
The 1995 logo used the uni’s acronym ‘UNA’, written in big white letters with purple shadows behind. Below it, the translation was placed in thin sans-serif letters, also colored purple. It underlined both the acronym and a lion mascot they placed on the acronym’s right.
2003 – 2012
This time, the design was a simpler one. The wordmark ‘UNA Lions’ used the same font and the same letter size, but the coloring was purple and orange respectively. The acronym was positioned in the bottom of a purple outline for a lion’s head that stretched upwards. It was pretty simplistic, overall.
2012 – 2018
On the previous version, the same lion medallion was used. It looked smaller in comparison with the typographical part of the emblem, though. Instead of the words “North Alabama,” the previous logo included the initials of the university’s name, “UNA.”
2018 – Today
The current North Alabama Lions logo features the side view of a lion’s head facing to the right. The head is placed inside a purple ellipse with the yellow filling. Above it, the lettering “North Alabama” can be seen.
