I love how the writer says the Georgia G is recognizable as only being UGA, but it's also the packers' logo who is definitely more known across the country than any college team.

Tennessee is meh.

Auburn and arse to mouth is pretty good though.

I wish I could get articles published that are entirely opinion based

What is the criteria? How do they justify ranking one single letter logo over another?

BYU's hokey Y logo is number 4? Woof.

the interlocking "AU" is one of the most recognizable logos in all of college athletics... easily top 10, IMO... doesn't necessarily mean it's the 'best'.

That is kind of a naive way of looking at it. As the logos are similar and each are trademarked as a different logo, they are mutually beneficial of each other. I see it as the Packers benefit nationally and UGA benefits nationally as each logo is more and more prevalent on Nationally Televised games both in College and the NFL. In layman's terms, as one grows, so does the other.



ETA: Green Bay holds the trademark for the oval G and granted permission for a similar logo to UGA in 1964.

Don't forget Grambling uses it too.

Simple, tasteful, unchanging and very obvious. This emblem with its signature gold trim is one of the best in the nation and leaves little doubt as to what it represents.


Sorry, but in a vacuum I don't think it's very recognizable.

A list with that at #8 is shite. Won't even address it beyond that.

Meh, I like the "hard inner angles" on our C. It frames the bird. I do agree that Grambling's logo at number three is very unique...

I have to agree, Swoop. Washington's logo simply is not that instantly recognizable nationwide.

Definitely not top 10 material.

I love my team probably more then the next guy but I've always thought Auburns was solid, and original.

I would have swapped AU and UGA

I really don't see how Texas Tech is all that different from Auburn, Oklahoma, or any team that has interlocking letters. And I actually kinda like South Carolina. The worst logos are the overly complicated small-school logos (like FIU)
