Neither the current Virginia Tech Hokies logo nor the previous ones have in any way alluded to the university’s mascot, HokieBird.
Meaning and history
1966 – 1971
The badge created for the team in 1966 was composed of two bright letters — “T” and “V”. The “T” was a bit smaller and drawn in an intense orange shade. It was placed above the enlarged and slightly extended “V” in a calm and dark burgundy color. The letters were executed in clean straight lines with distinct ended and right angles.
1971 – 1973
The redesign of 1971 has completely changed the style and concept of the club’s logo. This time it was a composition in two shades of red — with the classy intense red for the background and the dark burgundy one for the bold sand-serif “Tech” inscription placed over its.
1974 – 1982
In 1974 the club returned to its logo from 1966, slightly refining its contours, and making both letters a bit bigger and wider than they were in the original version. The color palette remained untouched and the position of the letters as they were, but the lines became bolder and cleaner.
1983 – Today
The nickname “Hokie” comes from a spirit cheer created by a student named O.M. Stull in the 1890s. Before that, the players of the university’s athletic program were nicknamed the Gobblers.
The current athletic logo (since 1983) of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University features the letters “V” and “T” in maroon with white and burnt orange trim. The letters are positioned next to each other, while their ends merge into one another.
