The Seattle Seahawks logo was first designed in 1975 and has been tinkered with over the years. Ever since, people have wondered what specific object was the design influence. This mystery was solved fairly recently, according to the Burke Museum blog.
The original Seahawks logo designers used published art illustrations for inspiration.
Robert Bruce Inverarity’s 1950 book, Art of the Northwest Coast Indians contains the most likely source for the Seahawks cool logo, a Kwakwaka’wakw transformation mask depicting an eagle (in its closed form) with a human face inside (revealed when the mask opens when danced).
Have you heard, there's a championship game in Seattle tomorrow?
