This centennial logo celebrates the University of Arizona’s “Bear Down” legacy by drawing directly from the institution’s visual heritage. Inspired by the iconic interlocking “UA” mark, the design reinterprets its connected forms within the looping zeros of “100,” creating a modern evolution of a classic symbol.

The graphic style blends contemporary execution with historical cues, incorporating heritage “A” elements and a vintage slab-style typographic influence. Together, these references honor the university’s long history—from athletic branding and early campus publications while projecting the Bear Down spirit to the next generation of Wildcats.
