What is Texas A&M Aggie?

In 1972 the badge was refined and redrawn with straighter and cleaner lines, in a new burgundy and white color palette, which stayed with the clubs for years. It was the same man figure, but now all the elements and details of the drawing were distinct and strong. The man was placed on the burgundy and white background with an enlarged solid letter “T” in a double outline. Both elements were sent in white, and the badge looked powerful and memorable.
The logo of the club was redesigned again in 2000, keeping the composition from the previous version, but redrawing the letters in a more modern way, with the contours cleaned and slightly narrowed. The badge now featured its symbols in a darker shade of burgundy and with more white accents, which added geometry and motion to the image.
The redesign of 2009 introduced a modernized version of the Texas A&M visual identity. The letters of the badge were enlarged and emboldened, keeping the iconic burgundy color palette and straight geometric contours untouched. The letter “T” became a true star of the emblem, evoking a sense of confidence and stability.
The logo took on a darker brown shade in 2016.
The emblem still used the stylistic acronym image from the previous logos, but with inverted colors. It was placed in the middle of the map of Texas, which had the same dark brown look with white and then brown rims along the edges.
The massive geometric lettering from the official logo of Texas A&M Aggies is set in an extra-bold geometric serif typeface, which is pretty close to such fonts as Comply Slab Extra Bold and Hudson NY Pro Slab Semi Bold, the types, which are most often used by colleges and universities across the United States.
As for the color palette of the Aggies’ visual identity, it is based on the combination of white and burgundy, two traditional shades, which together create a composition, representing excellence, professionalism, and determination.
