Bayern München logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- It has been a really long and colorful way from the very first logo, designed in 1903, to the one we all know today.
- Though for the most part of the times the club has been using the emblem, based on the one, created in 1917, there have been several experiments and redesign throughout the years.
- The visual identity of the Bayern Munchen football club has been redesigned about eight times during the team’s history, but the style and concept of the logo haven’t changed much since the beginning of the 1960s.
- However, the first two versions of the club’s badge design were different but pretty good and actual for their times.
- 1923 — 1954 The original version of the logo was designed in 1923 and stayed with the club for more than thirty years, which is a lot.
- 1954 — 1961 In 1954 the logo was completely changed.
- It was a pretty minimalist yet bright version, where the white “FC Bayern” lettering was placed on a solid red circle in a double white and red outline.
- The blue and white part featured a rhombus heraldic pattern and was balanced by a modern sans-serif typeface of the “Bayern Munchen” inscription.
- 1965 — 1970 In 1965 a very stylish logo was presented: the same oval and rhombus pattern, but the color palette was more interesting — the blue and white were replaced by two shades of blue, and the classic red — by a burgundy brown, a royal, and sleek color.
- 1970 — 1979 The prototype of the logo we all know today was created for FC Bayern Munchen EV in 1970.
- A circle with a white and blue rhombus pattern was placed inside a bigger red circle with a thin yellow outline.
- The nameplate was written in yellow sans-serif and placed around the perimeter of the emblem, on its red part.
- 1979 — 1996 In 1979 the yellow elements of the logo were changed to white, and the badge became brighter and gained a more professional look.
- The white and okie part of the emblem became smaller now, and the red one featured a double white and red outline.
- The whole badge is now outlined in blue.
- 2002 — 2017 The blue outline became a bit thicker and the color palette — calmer and lighter, as for the lettering, it remained the same, but the “EV” part was removed.
- 2017 — Today The current version of the Bayern Munchen visual identity was created in 2017 and it basically repeats the previous version but has it is color palette brighter and more distinct.
- Font The letters featured on the Bayern Munich logo seem to belong to the Vectora Black font, which was developed in 1990 by Adrian Frutiger.
- Color The palette comprises only three colors: red, blue, and white.
- Blue and white are the colors of Bavaria, the club’s native land, blue is the color of the team’s original crest.
