Baltimore Bullets logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Another team, the Washington Wizards, also used the name the Baltimore Bullets.
- However, it happened from 1964 to 1997, after the original team stopped playing.
- Meaning and history 1962 — 1963 The Baltimore Bullets was established in 1962 under the name Zephyrs, so its first logo was based on the original name of the club.
- This logo stayed for only one year, as the new name for the team came up already in 1963.
- It was a simple and airy badge, which looked pretty usual, and the only interesting detail on it was the blue bullet, coming to the right from the blue underline of the lettering.
- Above the hands, there was an image of an orange and white ball.
- 1969 — 1971 The color palette of the logo was changed to blue and calm orange, while the contours of the composition remained untouched.
- The “Baltimore” was set in all capitals in the left from the all, above the first part of the main wordmark.
- The new shade was close to electric blue, while the basketball was redrawn in red and white.
- 1973 — 1974 The color palette from 1971 came back, and the “Baltimore” part of the logotype was changed to “Capital”, which was now written in the uppercase of a light italicized Sans-serif, in the same shade of blue, as the “Bullets”.
- 1974 — 1987 In 1974 the blue became darker and the “Capital” was replaced by the “Washington”, set in the same style and color.
- No further changes were made to the logo.
- 1987 — 1997 The additional lettering was removed from the Bullets visual identity and the contours of the mail logotype were refined in 1987.
- Now the inscription was set in the title case, and the hands were redrawn in a more sleek and modern way.
