The top 5 best-looking logos in the Pac-12 Conference

#2: Colorado Buffaloes

The Buffs have what can be a flawless logo design. They effectively illustrate their mascot, color scheme, and the university itself all in one go by donning a charging buffalo with a “CU” adequately stamped across it (both symbols are also drenched in the beautiful color scheme of black and gold, mind you).

Sadly, there is one flaw: the buffalo’s horn. It’s white. Everything on the insignia is either black or gold except for the horn. And as a result, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I know that sounds absolutely absurd, but it’s true. It is so aggravating to me that Colorado misses out on the glory of having the 1st-place ranking on this list as a result.

#1: Utah Utes

Now I have certainly lost all credibility. The Utah Utes logo is just the letter “U” in a circle, accompanied by a pair of feathers. What is so great about that?

I can’t exactly answer that question, but I will say that the feathers help Utah’s emblem in the same way that a white horn hurts Colorado’s. Both inclusions serve as just one little add-on by face value, while altering the visuals of the entire logo in actuality. However, Utah’s decision has a tad more meaning attached to it.

The Utes, for those who do not know, are the indigenous Native American tribe that the state of Utah is named after. Because of this, the presence of the feathers helps give the University of Utah’s logo its identity, and that is why it’s the best one in the Pac-12 Conference.
