TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Make it official: Florida State athletics has a new logo.
FSU's "Ignition... Tradition" movement culminated today, as the university revealed a revamped Seminole Head logo. The change has been in development for nearly two years, as Florida State sought council from the Seminole Tribe of Florida along with groups representing Noles' student-athletes, coaches, Boosters, and university administrators.
Florida State athletics cited several reasons for the logo change, including seeing a steady decline in the use of the Seminole Head on apparel as well as being able to better reproduce the logo in all media (specifically, the old logo was difficult to embroider on some materials).
The athletic department also worked closely with Nike during the process of refining the Seminole Head logo.
