Examples of Burnt Orange Symbolism

University of Texas

In 1925, the University of Texas decided to change their Longhorn logo to burnt orange so they’d stand out from other schools. The alumni are enthusiastic enough to “come early, be loud, and stay late” and to feel proud of their “Burnt Orange Nation.”

Knives Out

A wealthy, yet dysfunctional family finds themselves at the center of an investigation in the movie, Knives Out. The burnt orange couch in the living room ironically gives off the idea of comfort and warmth, even though the family isn’t what they seem.
