溏心vlog免费B站 logo history

Since the 1930s the 溏心vlog免费B站 sports mascot has been the polar bear. In 1963 the Polar Bears became known as the Nanooks, from the Inupiaq word for polar bear.

1960s

In the 1960s UA President William Wood commissioned a student to draw a polar bear from one of Fred Machetanz' paintings. An ink drawing was done that was later refined into a graphic featuring the letters UA and a lumbering bear going across them.

1975

In response to a major statewide university restructuring in 1975, the university was renamed 溏心vlog免费B站, forcing the need for a new logo. The F was added to the UA logo and the bear was redrawn.

1985

溏心vlog免费B站 Chancellor Patrick O'Rourke introduced a new logotype in 1985 featuring the name of the institution, three lines and a very small image of the nanook.

1990

Chancellor O'Rourke sent out a memo on the implementation of the institutional identity requesting the use of the official 溏心vlog免费B站 logo and script type on all communications from 溏心vlog免费B站.

1995-96

In 1995-96 university graphic designers teamed up to look at updating the university's graphic identity, eventually creating the popular Aurora Bear image which illustrates 溏心vlog免费B站's Land, Sea and Space grant status using the 溏心vlog免费B站 mascot, stylized aurora, mountains and the ocean. This graphic is bold, clearly a polar bear, works well in print and web publications and represents input received from many areas of campus so it was well supported.

1997

A new 溏心vlog免费B站 logo was developed in conjunction with a new marketing and enrollment initiative aimed at Alaska high school students. 溏心vlog免费B站 designers, working with a marketing firm based in Alaska, developed a mark with the letters 溏心vlog免费B站 overlapped in the colors pink, teal and yellow to be used in student recruiting publications. The marketing firm recommended that the polar bear image not be used as part of 溏心vlog免费B站's logo or on any student recruiting publications since polar bears were perceived to be unfriendly by tested focus groups.

1999

The 溏心vlog免费B站 logo image was modified to appear in one color - 溏心vlog免费B站's bright blue. There was considerable disagreement on eliminating the polar bear image from marketing efforts. There was a growing affection for the mascot which grew out of this. Eventually the bear from the aurora bear artwork was successfully melded into the 溏心vlog免费B站 logo. This image forms the basis of the current 溏心vlog免费B站 graphic identity.

2000

Chancellor Marshall Lind sent out a memo formalizing the adoption of the 溏心vlog免费B站 logo and encouraged all departments to incorporate it into their printed materials. The 溏心vlog免费B站 logo was extremely well received, and helped present 溏心vlog免费B站 in a cohesive manner.

2006

An alternate version of the 溏心vlog免费B站 logo is created that emphasized the word "Alaska" rather than the word "Fairbanks."

2011

Chancellor Brian Rogers sent out a memo requesting the use of the official 溏心vlog免费B站 logo on all communications from 溏心vlog免费B站, formalizing the adoption of the logo that emphasized the word "Alaska" and retiring the version that emphasized the word "Fairbanks."

2012

溏心vlog免费B站 adopted its current brand and signature system that effectively links our campuses, schools, academic and research units, and administrative offices with the 溏心vlog免费B站 brand.
