Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Randall Johnson, 1915-2007, designed the original WSC cougar head logo in July of 1936 while a summer student employee at Washington State College. When WSC became Washington State University in 1959, Johnson proposed a logo redesign which was accepted with only one very slight change.
Johnson graduated from WSC in Fine Arts in 1938, and went on to become art director at the Washington Water Power Co. He retired in 1975, and spent the remainder of his life in the Spokane area. He sold his iconic cougar head logo design to WSU for one dollar in 1959.
