The Iconic Case Eagle Logo: A Symbol of History and Innovation

The Story Behind Case’s Iconic Eagle Logo

Logos are more than just graphics—they are enduring symbols of a company’s identity. From the Leaping Deer of John Deere to the Checkerboard Square of Ralston Purina, a strong logo becomes instantly recognizable and deeply tied to a brand’s legacy. The Case logo is no exception, with a history that spans more than a century.

The Iconic Case Eagle Logo: A Symbol of History and Innovation
From Survival to Symbolism: J.I. Case’s Early Years

In 1847, J.I. Case founded his implement company with one goal in mind: survival. At the time, he wasn’t focused on creating a logo; his priority was keeping his company afloat. The outbreak of the Civil War drew many of his assembly workers away, creating a challenging period for the young company.

When the soldiers returned, they brought with them a special mascot, Old Abe, a bald eagle from the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment. This unexpected encounter would inspire one of the most recognizable logos in agricultural equipment history.

Inspiration Strikes: The Eagle on a Globe

Captivated by Old Abe, Case decided to incorporate the eagle into his company’s identity. The resulting logo featured the bald eagle perched on a globe, symbolizing both the company’s reach and resilience. Today, this eagle-and-globe logo continues to appear on Case machinery, linking the company’s modern products to its historical roots.

A Legacy in Branding

The story of Case’s eagle logo demonstrates that some of the most enduring symbols emerge from real-life experiences and historical events. More than just a corporate emblem, it is a testament to innovation, perseverance, and American agricultural heritage.
