Jack Eskridge, the Man Who Created the Dallas Cowboys’ Logo, Has Died.

Seems strange now to think that somewhere, at some point, someone designed the Dallas Cowboys logo. It’s likely the world’s most recognizable team logo, second only to maybe the New York Yankees. The man who created that logo, Jack Eskridge, died Monday; he was 89.....

RIP Jack and many thanks to the one responsible for etching this symbol into my brain. My 3-yo daughter says "looook, Coboys" and points to any kind of star she sees, I love it!

He's with the stars up there.

Funny pre-internet picture in Gorbachev's Russia: someone wearing what looked like a Cowboys shirt except the star was red.

Default Creator of Cowboys logo dead at 89
I wonder if he had any idea of the impact his design would have. RIP, Jack Eskridge (his grandson Zack tried out at QB for the Cowboys in 2011).

RIP, and thank you Jack!

Question: the original star was a solid blue on a white helmet. The star we know today is that original star but outlined with a white and blue border around it. Did Jack create both logos or just the first one?

I think when you talk to other people that really play the quarterback position, there's a few guys that really have incredible greatness in them, and Tony is one of them. I think the issue here is he needs more help from his teammates. I think they are not nearly as talented as people say they are, from 1 to 53. I'm talking about the total roster.”

Is the concept of of an effective and enduring intellectual property difficult for you to comprehend?

I suppose that the swoosh originator is a simpleton as well.

Funny you mention the Yankees logo because I find it interesting that their logo was created by the Tiffany Co. jewelry company, and it was to commemorate fallen cops if i'm not mistaken
