Fresno State Bulldogs Logo PNG
While the current Fresno State Bulldogs logo looks pretty similar to the previous one, in fact, there is a couple of notable differences.
Meaning and history
Both the emblems feature a white bulldog with a blue trim. The creature is wearing a red shirt with a blue “F” on the sleeve.
What are Fresno State Bulldogs?
Fresno State Bulldogs is the name of an athletic program from the California State University, Fresno, which consists of 22 men’s and women’s teams, competing in the first division of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in such sports disciplines as Baseball, Basketball, Tennis, Golf, and others.
1953 – 1976
There was a grotesque mean bulldog portrayed on the team’s first logo. It was white with some blue. Above it, the word ‘Bulldogs’ was written in cursive red letters with a touch of blue for outlining.
1976 – 1981
The 1976 emblem portrays a more cartoonish bulldog with more human traits. The color scheme is generally the same, and the maliciousness is still there. However, it’s now just the head, and the dog wears a sailor’s cap with a bold, red ‘F’ on it.
1981 – 2006
The next emblem uses the head design, it’s connected to the rest of the body – a muscular mass with the same white-blue color scheme. The dog also fears a red t-shirt with a big blue ‘F’ on the sleeve.
2006 – 2016
The redesign of 2006 has added brightness to the Fresno State Bulldogs visual identity, painting its T-shirt in solid red, and the “F” on the sleeve — blue and white. Also, a small white rounded medallion was added to the collar of the bulldog, with a serif green “V” on it. The badge stayed active for ten years and became a basis for several future redesigns.
2016 – 2020
In 2016 the blue shade, used for the contours of the bulldog emblem, got darkened up, creating a stronger contrast with white and red and making the badge look even more brutal and powerful. This was the only change made to the badge, and it stayed like that for four more years.
2020- Today
The redesign of 2020 went almost unnoticed, as again it only touched the blue outline of an aggressive bulldog in a red T-shirt. This time it is the color in between the blue from the two previous versions. No further changes were made to the badge.
Football
The football team has won 27 conference championships. In addition to the main Fresno State Bulldogs logo, the team also uses a green “V” – it can be seen on their helmets, uniforms, and field. The “V” is used as a symbol of California Central Valley, specifically the San Joaquin Valley, where lots of the Bulldog’s fans come from.
Basketball
The men’s team has played in six NCAA Tournaments and in ten National Invitation Tournaments (as of 2019). Also, they have played in the 2014 College Basketball Invitational.
Font and color
The visual identity of Fresno State Bulldogs doesn’t have lettering on it, just a square “F” on the jersey sleeve and a simple green “V” on the chest. Both characters are set in a standard for college square serif typeface, with bold lines and massive clean serifs.
As for the color palette of the Fresno State Bulldogs badge, it is based on a light-gray and blue combination of the bulldog, and a dark red jersey. This scheme evokes a sense of power and even aggressiveness, showing the teams of the program as strong, willing, and determined ones.
