If you compare the current Northeast-10 Conference logo, which was adopted in 2015, with its predecessor, you will immediately see they are completely different.
Meaning and history
For one, the current version is by far cleaner and more abstract. You can see only four glyphs: “N,” “E,” “1,” and “0.” The “N” is the most abstract and unusual of all. While its lower half looks almost regular, the top is formed by a red triangle. The “E” and “1” have sharpened ends. The “0” is based on a rectangle, yet two of the angles are cut.
The previous emblem comprised the full name of the organization, which gave it a somewhat cluttered look.
