The Pacific West Conference (PacWest) was established in 1992. It is an NCAA-affiliated collegiate athletic conference (Division II). Its members come from California and Hawai’i.
Meaning and history
Since at least 2005, the mountains have been the central theme for the Pacific West Conference logo. On the older logo (2005-2014), you could see a mountain range in white and light blue. The picture was placed inside an ellipse. The lettering “The PacWest” in black serif letters was placed below the ellipse.
On the current PacWest logo, the mountain design has preserved. Yet now, it is housed in a circle, and the name of the conference is also placed inside this shape.
