At its core, the mission of the rebrand was to create a simplified identity system that evokes the hard-working spirit of the Saint Peter\u2019s University community while harnessing the energy of the fanbase to build on established legacy and tradition.<\/p>\n<p>The end result: a refreshed and modernized visual identity that showcases the determined and diligent spirit of Saint Peter\u2019s Athletics. The initiative comes on the heels of one of the most successful academic years in recent memory, and the rebrand aims to keep pushing that department wide momentum with new branding elements that will enhance uniforms, facilities (including the <a href=\"https:\/\/saintpeterspeacocks.com\/news\/2020\/7\/22\/ylc-transformation-announcement.aspx\"><em>recently announced Yanitelli Center renovation project<\/em><\/a>), merchandise, digital media and print applications.<\/p>\n<p>The new marks and logos tie in seamlessly to the university\u2019s institutional visual identity, including the alignment with the university\u2019s primary shade of the color blue. In detail, the rebrand includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The introduction of a new \u201cSP\u201d monogram.<\/li>\n<li>A fresh take on an old classic; the peacock mascot logo has been reimagined with inspiration from its most recent iteration, as well as a callback to one of the earliest iterations of the mascot. The new mascot \u2013 with three versions (mascot head, full strut, full perch) includes a look of determination, the three crest feathers symbolizing the holy trinity found on the University deal, and a rolled-up sweatshirt sleeve showing determination while embracing hard work.<\/li>\n<li>A new logotype with a number of variations, with the primary iteration comprised of an arched \u201cSaint Peter\u2019s\u201d that was also inspired from some of the university\u2019s earliest days of varsity athletics competition.<\/li>\n<li>A plethora of spirit marks that include sport-specific elements, logotypes, monograms and a new territory mark that incorporates the new monogram inside the outline of the state of New Jersey.<\/li>\n<li>A unique typeface designed exclusively for Saint Peter\u2019s University Athletics: <em>Spur On<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThis is an exciting day for our student-athletes, coaches, staff, alumni and fans,\u201d said Director of Athletics Rachelle Paul. &#8220;Together, with the ongoing renovations to the Yanitelli Center, the introduction of our new visual identity will usher in a new era of Saint Peter\u2019s University Athletics. I am confident that the entire Saint Peter\u2019s University community will embrace the modern look of our rebrand, one that is reflective not only of the positive change and progress made in athletics but the entire university.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Saint Peter\u2019s leadership team, student-athletes and community are special,\u201d added Tim Rebich, CEO of Varsity Partners. \u201cA lot of organizations talk about hard work, but this group lives it. From apparel to identity system design, we worked side-by-side to create momentum for a program ready to harness its potential.
