Original Logo Controversy[edit]

Released on July 10, 2010, the Fighting Falcons first logo had a strong resemblance to a logo created by Mike Ivall of Ivall Design.[5]

On July 15, 2010, the Fighting Falcons announced the team will create new logo to avoid any problems relating to any similarities with Mike Ivall's concept art after Ivall had contacted the team and noted similarities.[6]
