As the club was established under the name Quinnipiac Braves, the first logo for them was designed without any graphical image of a cat. It was a simple yet bright and eye-catching emblem, composed of two text lines, with the upper one, “Quinnipiac”, enlarged and having its “Q” emboldened and brightened up, and the bottom “Braves” arched under it in all capitals. The yellow and blue color palette of the emblem represented the energy and power of the club.
The redesign of 2002 happened right after the name change of the club to Quinnipiac Bobcats. This is when the first animalistic motif appeared on the club’s badge. The new logo was composed of a stylized dark and calm blue uppercase lettering arched above the circular graphical emblem. The lettering was executed in a custom geometric sans-serif typeface with its first and last letters enlarged. As for the color palette. The main color of the letters was blue, and the contours — dark gold. The rounded graphical part of the Bobcats logo featured a dark blue background with a thin smooth gold line on the right. In the middle of the medallion, there was a dark gold, white and blue image of a wild cat, which represented the danger, determination, and strength of the team.
Both the 2019 Quinnipiac Bobcats logo and the previous one feature a cat’s head. The current version is slightly more minimalistic. Here, there is only the head inside a yellow ring housing the word “Quinnipiac.” On the previous logo, there was also the cat’s paw stretched out forward. The lettering was larger, more pronounced.
