Detroit Red Wings logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Meaning and history Before becoming Red Wings, the hockey club from Detroit was known under the names Detroit Cougars and Falcons, with the logo redesigns held almost once a year before finally finding its iconic emblem in the 1930s.
- Though the color palette remained the same, the emblem started looking more delightful and bright.
- 1931 — 1932 After the change of the team’s name into Detroit Falcons in 1931, the logo was also redrawn.
- The iconic emblem we all know today is fully based on the version of 1933, a red and white wheel with two wings to its right.
- 1935 — 1948 The winged wheel was refined in 1935.
- The wings got slightly shortened and now had more red than white elements.
- The elegant lines soften the bright and even aggressive red color palette, showing the hockey club as the determined and confident one.
- Birth of symbol Having purchased the franchise in 1932, millionaire James Norris decided to change its brand identity completely.
- When he was young, he used to belong to the MAAA Winged Wheelers.
- The club got a new logo, which was the iconic winged wheel emblem in red, and a new name.
- With this logo Red Wings managed to win their first Stanley Cup in 1936.
- It looks nothing like the sleek and minimalistic contemporary typefaces.
- It’s hardly a surprise since the wordmark was introduced back in 1948 and hasn’t been modified ever since.
- Color Minimalistic and contrast, the color scheme includes only an eye-catching shade of red (Pantone 186 C, HEX: #C8102E) and white for the background.
