Weber State Wildcats is the common name for 16 men’s and women’s teams, representing Weber State University in various sports disciplines. The university, which was founded in Utah in 1889 under the name Weber Stake Academy, today has more than 25 thousand students and is considered to be one of the most popular public universities in its state.

The logo, used by the athletic program ofWeber State University in the 1960s, featured a caricature of a friendly and fluffy wild cat walking in a long-sleeve jersey with the enlarged capital “W” on it. The drawing was executed whether in a monochrome or purple and white color palette, with the cat as the only element in the badge.
The redesign of 1973 has introduced a completely different, very minimalistic, and modern version of the Wildcats logo. The new badge boasted an enlarged capital “W” set in solid purple against a white background, with its right bar elongated and bent to the right, ending with a sharp triangular arrowhead pointing to the future.
The initial emblem of Weber State Wildcats featured a bright purple and white crest with an enlarged wild cat image on it and purple lettering set above its upper border. The sharp lines of the image were balanced by the claws and fangs of the animal, which was drawn in solid white with triangular purple accents. As for the wordmark, it was set in the uppercase of a strict bold serif typeface with the upper border slightly arched up.
Taking into consideration the nickname, it is only natural that the university’s design team decided to make a wild cat the central character of the Weber State Wildcats logo. On the current version, the cat’s head is depicted in light gray with darker trim and white details. What makes it unique are the purple highlights clearly seen in the picture.
