Meaning and history
1959 – 1972
The very first logo for the program was designed in 1959 and stayed unchanged for more than a decade. It was a naive drawing with the portrait of a Native American man with a green headband, where two white “ND” capitals were placed. The man was drawn in a slightly caricaturish manner and had all bright elements in his headpiece — a green band and two yellow feathers.
1976 – 1999
The redesign of 1976 introduced a completely new badge, which was modern and pretty abstract. It was a green and white geometric drawing of a Native American man placed in profile to the left. The image was executed with bold lines and softened triangles in both green and white. It looked fresh and very modern.
2000 – 2006
The badge, created for the club in 2000 was more detailed. The Native American man was still drawn in profile, but this time facing to the right. As for the drawing itself, it was detailed and more realistic, though still had something caricaturish in it. The feathers got more white and black accents and yellow was only in a couple of lines.
2007 – 2011
In 2007 the man started looking to the left, like on the logo from 1976. The style remained untouched, as well as the color palette, but all the lines of the emblem were straightened up and strengthened so that the logo started looking more professional and confident, evoking a sense of determination and power, and representing the club’s character.
2012 – 2015
In 2012 North Dakota Fighting Hawks started using a text-based logo, with an intertwined “ND” monogram placed above the “North Dakota” inscription in the uppercase. The upper part of the logo was executed in green and black, with some white spaced, where the letters were intertwining, white the bottom line was plain green, written in a custom typeface with thick smooth lines and distinct straight cuts.
2016 – Today
After the redesign of 2016, the logo gained new lines and styles. The green bold “ND” monogram was put on the background, with the stylized white hawk’s head drawn on it, with its sharp and curved beak on the “D” and its head feathers in “N”. The new image represented the motion, energy, and strength of the club, and their willingness to love and win.
