(See the Related links for a really interesting video on the history of the logo: Tiki Barber interviews various members of the Green Pay Packers themselves.)
I am pulling just a few of the comments from the discussion page (which many may fail to access and read), as it seems that many contributors have a conflict with the original response and therefore should not stand on this page alone. (Personally, I would note that the term "Greatness" would seem to be the wrong variant/tense for what it is suggested it was for: If there is any truth to this story, one would think the term being promoted would have been "Great" or "Greatest".
-- The oval "G" logo which stands for the "G" in Green Bay was created in 1961 by Packers equipment manager Gerald (not George) "Dad" Braisher. Tiki Barber falsely reported it to stand for "greatness" without a reliable source to back up his claims; along with calling him George instead of Gerald. Other reputable media outlets then published similar stories using Barber's false claim as a source. The Packers' Assistant Director of PR and Corporate Communications had the following to say: "There's nothing in our history that suggests there's any truth to this."
-- After George retired in an interview with a local newspaper he was quoted as saying he ordered it as a joke. He wanted his initial on it and thought when he submitted the order to the owner for approval the owner surprised him by approving it. About a day later it dawned on him "G" could also stand for "Green Bay".
It stands for the "G" in "Green Bay." It was created by the Packers equipment manager "Dad" Brashier in 1961 who originally designed it to resemble a football, but over the years it evolved to more of an oval shape.
Many people think that it stands for Green Bay but it actually stands for "Greatness!" The logo was created in 1961 by Packers equipment manager George "Dad" Braisher.
THIS IS FALSE. Tiki Barber fell pray to a Wikipedia hoax/lie. Try to find any source other than Tiki Barber for this information, and you'll see you can't find it. Oh, and the Packers actually said this is false. As in the front office.

The Green Bay Packers logo, which is an oval "G" was created in 1961. The G stands for Green Bay and this logo was designed by Gerald Braisher when Lombardi asked him to create a logo.
Yes! Georgia Tech actually has the same font of the G on both the Green bay Packers logo and their own. The answer is really no, Georgia tech does not. It is the University of Georgia that uses the same logo as the Green Bay Packers.
