The Vault – La Cuesta: the Block “A” Mark
The block “A,” although iconic across all three state institutions with their respective “Arizona” designations, has been prevalent across the NAU Campus for years. Images from the early 1940s show variations of the “A” adorning the roof of Old Main during our time as Arizona State College (ASC).
The block “A” continued to remain an important part of our brand history, eventually ending up as the identifier on several sports uniforms, including ASC / NAU cheer, golf, and ski teams.
