San Diego State University
San Diego State University wanted to create an identity program to celebrate, honor, respect and educate, while simultaneously showcasing the Aztecs and their culture in a way that demonstrates respect for the diversity of opinion and perspectives at the University. SDSU needed a logo that not only represented the University but also respected the culture of the Aztec community.

SDSU wanted the new logo to portray the cultural significance of the name “Aztecs“. The Spear, utilized in both primary and secondary logos, was a favorite weapon of the Aztecs and was most commonly tipped with double edged obsidian points, and symbolized offensive strength and power.
