This logo is on the field at Turpin Stadium in the location where Chris Waddell last stood before being fatally stricken due to a rare heart condition on the day before spring practice, March 1, 2004. Each year on that day, the Demons perform community service projects in his honor. Former Associate SID Matthew Bonnette created the logo.
