Noted artist Bennett Brien, an American Indian from Belcourt, N.D., created The University of North Dakota's current Fighting Sioux logo. Brien, who holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from UND, describes the symbolism of the UND athletic mark as follows:

The feathers symbolize the outstanding rewards that students, faculty, staff and alumni will achieve for academic, athletic and lifelong excellence.

The determined look in the eyes symbolizes fortitude and never giving up and the focus necessary for sustained academic, athletics and lifelong achievement.

The paint on the cheekbone symbolizes that life can be a battle and we have daily struggles.

The color green symbolizes the development of young people and their growth at the University of North Dakota.
The color yellow symbolizes the sun which provides humanity light and warmth in order that life may continue.
The color red symbolizes the lifeblood that has been poured out to make our state and peoples great.
