The team actually used a number of different  logos prior to 1961, but the "G" is the only logo that has ever appeared  on the helmet.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Bay_Packers#cite_note-30" target="_blank">[31]</a>  Although the Packers have granted limited permission to other  organizations to utilize a similar logo, notably the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Bulldogs"]University of Georgia[/ame] and [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grambling_State_Tigers"]Grambling State University[/ame], the  Packers hold the trademark for it.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Bay_Packers#cite_note-31" target="_blank">[32]</a>  Adopted in 1964, the Georgia "G", though different in design and color,  was similar to the Packers' "G". Then Georgia head coach [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Dooley"]Vince  Dooley[/ame] thought it best to clear the use of Georgia's new emblem  with the Packers. However, since its inception in 1961, the Packers' "G"  has been redesigned several times and now looks like Georgia's original  1964 "G."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Bay_Packers#cite_note-32" target="_blank">[33]</a>Didn't know it. Had questions about who'd created it first, thought Georgia used it before...</blockquote>
