Early Days (1968-1979):

✦ The program first adopted the Pegasus in 1968, symbolizing limitless possibilities and tying into the university seal.

✦ The initial design depicted a black and white Pegasus head facing forward, exuding a sleek and sophisticated vibe.

The Era of the Knight (1980-1993):

✦ Seeking a more mascot-driven identity, UCF introduced the "Fighting Knights" in 1980.

✦ The logo featured a fierce knight in armor charging forward, holding a sword and shield, emphasizing strength and determination.

✦ Variations included a cartoonish "Sir Wins-a-lot" and a dragon-themed "Puff," but these designs were short-lived.

Return of the Pegasus (1994-Present):

✦ Recognizing the enduring appeal of the original Pegasus, UCF brought it back in 1994.

✦ The new design showcased a majestic, full-body Pegasus leaping into the air, exuding power and grace.
This became the primary logo, representing a more refined and elegant take on the program's identity.
Modern Evolutions (2000s-Present):

✦ The Pegasus received minor tweaks over the years, like slight adjustments to its form and the addition of the UCF letters below.

Alternate logos emerged, like the "Knightmare" with glowing red eyes for special occasions, adding a touch of dynamism.

The program embraced its nickname, incorporating "UCF Knights" in various styles alongside the Pegasus, solidifying the brand.
