- 1906 — 1907 The blue “C” changed its contours again in 1907, is written in a traditional serif typeface with delicate sharp and playful ends of the line, which made the emblem look stylish and modern.

- 1912 — 1917 The new concept of the club’s visual identity was introduced in 1912 and featured an enlarged letter “S” in a classy typeface with sharp and elongated serif, a small “O” placed in its upper part, and an “X”, in the bottom.
- All three letters were executed in the same font and used a calm yet intense blue color.
- 1918 Four white sock images were added to the logo in 1918.
