Helmet Logo (1967-Pres)

What is this Ohio State Buckeyes Logo?

Buckeye leaf decal in green on white circle shown on gray background representing their football helmet. The design of the Ohio State Buckeye leaf was originally drawn in 1950 by alumnus and comic strip artist Milton Caniff and was intended to represent the buckeye tree as a symbol for strength and sturdiness of all Ohio State students. The first Buckeye leaf decal appeared on the helmets of the 1967 OSU football team and are still given to players today for execution of an exceptional play on the field.
