Did you know that coach Edwards designed the "Stretch" Y

While sitting in his office, coach Edwards came up with the "Stretch" Y that is the symbol of BYU.

The "Y" on the mountain had to be designed disproportional with the terrain in order to make it look proportional.

I too like the stalking Cougar.

Trivia for the younger posters.

Go Cougars!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed.

It's great, but on the East Coast it still gets confused with Yale, so I have to

Anyone that thinks it is Yale, doesn't know Yale at all.

Anyone that says this is a Ute fan trying to get you worked up.

It gets confused with Yale and Yahoo anywhere in the country outside of Utah.

I can't stand that one. I won't buy anything with that on it.

Really? You are the small minority on that opinion.

CougDogg-e-Dogg

I love that logo, much better than the tan cougar that we used afterwards

AFcoug7

I agree. I don't like it at all.

2/26/14 3:34pm

Are you sure you aren't thinking of the Cougar crawling over the mountain?

Yes actually I was thinking of this:

Athlon Sports agrees. Remember this article that ranked our logo?

What about the Down Arrow in the logo?

JayOwen

It stands for "You are here", or "This is the (right) place".

It's much less likely to get confused with Yale than the 1999 redesigned Y logo
