Chelsea logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Meaning and history The current visual identity of the famous football club is instantly recognizable across the world, but before getting to the iconic image, the club has changed more than ten different emblems during its long and successful history.
- 1905 – 1952 The very first logo of the English football team was a portrait of the pensioner, facing left.
- The image was enclosed in a circular frame, where the “Chelsea Football Club” lettering was placed around the perimeter.
- Since the fiat years, blue has become the main color of the club’s palette and the inevitable part of its visual identity.
- The logo stayed with Chelsea for only one year and was the only version, using the heraldic shape of the frame.
- 1953 – 1964 The redesign of 1953 brought the famous lion rampant to the club’s visual identity.
- The wordmark was placed around the perimeter of the frame, in its bottom part, and featured yellow color.
- On the upper part of the frame, there were five red rounded symbols.
- 1964 – 1967 From 1964 to 1967 the football team was using a simple blue square with three ornate white letters, “CFC”, placed diagonally, from the upper left corner to the bottom right.
- 1967 – 1986 The white lion rampant with the red staff was placed on a blue background and had a white “CFC” inscription under it.
- A few years later, in 1970, an FA Cup was added to the left of the lion, and in 1971 — two white stars, to celebrate the wins of the football club.
- It stayed with the football team for almost twenty years and changed its color palette four times.
- In 1995, it was a yellow and blue lion and blue lettering, which was replaced by a yellow lion, white inscription and bright blue background in 1997.
- Starting in 1999, there were only experiments with the blue color palette — a navy blue image on a light sky blue background from 1999 was changed to a white symbol inside a calm blue circle.
- The background is now light blue, and the framing features the same deep shade and the lion, while the outline and the lettering feature gold details.
- For only one year the logo was in use, and the gold letters “100 Years Centenary” were placed under and above the rounded emblem.
- The staff is now colored blue, as the lion and the frame, while the lion’s tongue is red and the inscription is executed in white and yellow.
- Shape The Chelsea logo features the lion rampant regardant in a blue circle, which is outlined with gold on the inside and outside.
- Colors The Chelsea logo includes blue, white, yellow, and red colors – a combination, which expresses energy, elegance, excellence, and perseverance.
- Font The club’s name is written in a sans-serif typerface.
