Bulldog Background

Alumnus Terry Davenport (B'80), now Chief Concept Officer and Chief Marketing Officer of Kentucky Fried Chicken USA, re-designed the Bulldog logo while working as a student in FSU's Sports Information office. Dean Davenport, Terry's father and then athletics director, wanted a more ferocious image representing the University's athletes. The result was today's untamed, spiked-collar image.
