Carolina Hurricanes logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG Carolina Hurricanes Logo PNG The ice hockey team Carolina Hurricanes has gone through only one subtle logo modification since it acquired its current name around two decades ago.
- Meaning and history The club known under the name of Carolina Hurricanes was established as the New England Whalers in the fall of 1971 in Boston, Massachusetts.
- The original logo depicted a harpoon over a bold white “w.” Probably the most eye-catching element on the logo the team adopted after being renamed Hartford Whalers was the blue whale tail.
- Yet, an astute observer would notice the two initial letters of the team name – the green “W” and the white “H.” The “W” actually looked very much like the same letter on the previous logo version, which was supposed to represent a connection to the team’s past.
- In 1993, the Hartford Whalers logo was slightly updated.
- The white space of the “H” was filled with grey, while the logo itself also acquired a thick outline of the same color.
- 1997 — 1999 The relocation to Carolina in 1998 started a new era in the logo history.
- Around this center, layers of black, white, and red elements were placed, which depicted a hurricane as seen from above.
- 1999 — Today The redesign of 1999 made the Hurricanes logo brighter and more powerful.
- The red color was switched to a more intense shade, as well as black.
- An additional logotype was also designed in the same year.
- It is a slightly slanted geometric inscription in the uppercase with the letter “C” in “Hurricanes” decorated with two red squares, having two solid black dots on them.
- Font Due to their distinctive shape and additional details on the right side, the letters on the Carolina Hurricanes symbol seem to be experiencing a wild wind blowing from the left.
- Colors The Carolina Hurricanes logo features a combination of red (Pantone Color Matching System: 186), white, silver (PMS: 429), and black (Pantone Black).
