Meaning and history
1920 – 1924
The very first logo by the brand was an image of a white and yellow pelican. It wore a green t-shirt with the letter ‘T’ on it. Pelican was depicted surfing a large wave. On the wave there was the word ‘Tulane’.
1964 – 1986
Another logo was literally a white and green wave which had the hands and feet. It also held a white flag with ‘Tulane’, written on it.
1986 – 1998
The 1986 version of the brand logo was a large green letter ‘T’. Over it, there were two wavy lines colored white and blue.
1998 – 2005
For the 1998 logo, the designers showed us its full name, written in a tilted typeface. The letters had a gray outline, and the space between them was colored deep blue. Above the name, there were two waves turned in opposite sides. Above the waves, there is a gray pelican aiming its beak into the center of the name.
2005 – 2014
The 2005 logo featured a wave going above a large “T.”
2014 – 2017
While the previous Tulane Green Wave logo looked simplistic and naive, the current one is also cartoonish.
Eventually, the team adopted a logo showcasing an anthropomorphized wave. While it was trying hard to be fierce, there was something funny about it.
2017 – Today
In 2017, the design team decided to reuse the old 1964 team logo (a wave with the flag design). This time, they mirrored it and gave it a white speaker with the team name instead of a flag.
