NEW YEAR, NEW OWL LOGO
Yesterday, we debuted a new secondary Owl mark. Just like Temple’s iconic T, which was created by graphic design students from Tyler School of Art and Architecture in the mid-1980s, this mark is truly Temple Made. Sports branding strategist Joe Bosack, TYL ’94, worked with Associate Professor Bryan Satalino’s senior capstone course in graphic and interactive design to create and refine this mark. You will see this new mark starting this fall on Temple apparel as well team gear. CLICK HERE to purchase gear with the new mark.
