The FIU Panthers logo has undergone several iterations since its inception in 1965, symbolizing the spirit of Florida International University's athletic division. Initially, the logo introduced in 1994 featured a bright yellow panther paired with the "Golden Panthers" name in sharp, dynamic lettering. This version conveyed energy and intensity, reflecting the university’s commitment to competitive sports.

In 2001, the logo evolved to maintain the aggressive vibe of its predecessor while adopting a slightly more subdued design, preserving the fierceness of the panther. The most recent change, made in 2009, further refined the logo, focusing on enhancing the visibility of the "I" in the "FIU" lettering, ensuring better readability while maintaining the panther’s dynamic and fierce design.

Today, the FIU Panthers logo stands as a bold and authoritative emblem. The logo showcases bold, block-style letters “FIU” in deep navy blue, outlined in gold for contrast. A golden panther, leaping in an aggressive and forward-moving stance, is superimposed on the letters. Its design is detailed with shading to provide a three-dimensional effect, emphasizing its muscular build and fierce expression. The panther’s extended claws symbolize action and readiness, encapsulating the tenacity and competitive drive of the university’s athletic teams.

The color scheme of navy blue and gold is both classic and authoritative, representing the university’s tradition and commitment to excellence in athletics and academics. The logo conveys a sense of reliability, strength, and forward momentum, perfectly embodying the spirit of FIU’s student-athletes.

The FIU Panthers, competing in various NCAA Division I sports, including men’s soccer, basketball, and baseball, continue to represent the university with pride, showcasing their competitive edge on the national stage.
