Rhode Island Rams Logo PNG
The University of Rhode Island based in Kingston, Rhode Island, sponsors an athletic program comprising almost 20 varsity teams. Before the logo described above, the athletic program used a different emblem. It was built around the depiction of a ram’s head. Here, the full name of the university could be seen, as well as the word “Rams.”
Meaning and history
1989 – 2009
The initial badge for the athletic program of the University of Rhode Island was created in 1989 and stayed unchanged for twenty years, which is a lot. It was a blue and white emblem with the stylized image of the ram’s head in the middle, the “University of Rhode Island” uppercase inscription arched above it in a modern and stable sans-serif typeface, and an elegant italicized “Rams” in the uppercase of a traditional serif typeface, placed in the bottom left corner of the logo.
2010 – Today
The Rhode Island Rams logo is a purely typographic one. It features the letter “I” superimposed over the letter “R.” What makes the emblem stand out is the way the two shades of blue, a lighter and a darker one, are paired. They create an unusual shade effect and add some dimension.
