Buffalo Sabres logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Following a series of design experiments in 1997-2009, the franchise eventually returned to its original logo.
- Meaning and history The visual identity of the hockey club from New York has always been based on two elements from the team’s name, a Buffalo and two crossed sabers.
- The color palette of the club’s visual identity was also set with the very first logo version, created in 1970, and despite four major redesigns of the logo, today Buffalo Sabers use its original emblem as the primary one.
- 1970 — 1996 The very first logo for Buffalo Sabres was introduced in 1970 and boasted a stylish circular badge with a calm blue background and medium-thickness yellow outline.
- On the badge two main elements of the club’s identity were placed one under another — the white running bull on top and two crossed sabers with yellow handles under it.
- It was a powerful and brutal image, which was accompanied by two additional emblems — silver and red saber, pursing the bold red letter “B”, and two crossed Sabres placed on a dark gray circular background with a silver and red outline.
- 2006 — 2010 The original color palette was brought back to the Buffalo Sabres visual identity in Woody with another logo redesign.
- The Buffalo was redrawn and now its arched smooth silhouette, placed above the wordmark, was facing rights as for the inscription, it was set in two levels, with the “Buffalo” in light gray, executed in a delicate yet recognizable sans-serif typeface, and the enlarged “Sabres” in a bold custom typeface with thick lines and slightly sharpened ends of the letters.
- 2010 — 2020 In 2010 the club adopt its initial logo version as the primary one.
- The yellow outline was now framed in thin blue, which added a stronger contrast and made the badge more distinctive.
- The blue color of the background was darkened in comparison to the original version.
- Font While the primary Buffalo Sabres logo doesn’t contain any text, the team has a wordmark that can be used on its own.
- The two-lined wordmark features the word “Buffalo” in blue with a saber going through it and the word “Sabres” in yellow with a blue outline.
- Colors Blue, white, and yellow are the colors that have been used for most of Buffalo Sabres logo history, although their shades have varied.
