Since at least 1982, a stylized bulldog has been the centerpiece of the logo used by the athletic teams representing the University of North Carolina at Asheville. Over this period, the emblem has gone through four modifications.
Meaning and history
On the North Carolina / Asheville Bulldogs logo introduced in 1982, the torso of the bulldog could be seen. The lettering “UNCA” was placed across its chest. In 1989, the palette was slightly altered, while the thin blue ring around the emblem disappeared.
In 1998, a completely different UNC Asheville Bulldogs logo was adopted featuring only the bulldog’s head and the team name. In 2006, the name of the teams was replaced by the large “A.”
