UMBC Athletics Unveils New Logo as Retrievers Prep for 2010-11 Silver Anniversary in NCAA Division I
The UMBC Department of Athletics has unveiled a new athletic logo, the fifth primary logo in its 40-plus years of intercollegiate competition.
A “family of logos” was developed by alum Jim Lord, ’99, the design director in UMBC’s Office of Creative Services. Ironically, one of Lord’s first tasks at UMBC was to complete work on the Retrievers’ outgoing logo in the spring of 2001.
The new logos may be used immediately and will be seen prominently in 2010-11, as UMBC Athletics celebrates its 25th year of NCAA Division I competition.
Lord started to think about a new design as the athletic program began to receive a tremendous amount of exposure when the men’s basketball team qualified for the NCAA Tournament in March 2008.
