Established in 1982, the Summit League, or The Summit, went through several names and brand identities before it adopted its current name in 2007.
Meaning and history
1982 – 2007
Back when it was Mid-Continent Conference, they placed this name in three lines. The two first lines were occupied by the first word, divided in two lines of dark blue text of big bold letters. The last word was placed below in small white letters onto a red stripe. Above, two arches of red and blue were placed like a two-layered rainbow.
2008 – Today
Since 2008, the Summit League logo has remained virtually unchanged. The “summit” theme is represented here by a large grey mountain, which can be seen above the name of the league. The word “Summit” is given in bold capital letters with white and blue trim, while the words “the” and “summit” are smaller and are given only in blue.
There is a peculiar white gap above the first “M” in the word “Summit.” Apparently, it represents a white cloud and in this way emphasizes the height of the mountain.
