Detroit Tigers logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Though there were also several interesting badges with the image of a tiger, the club’s mascot, and finally the modern view on the Tigers’ visual identity, introduced in 1994, which became truly iconic, got replaced in 2006.
- 1903 In 1903 the club starts using a completely different concept for its visual identity and makes a blue capital letter “D” its symbol.
- The letter was executed in a handwritten typeface with two rounded and slightly curved serif on its vertical bar.
- 1916 The emblem, created for the club in 1916 featured another representation of the letter “D” — a medium-weight strict typeface with clean lines and slightly elongated serifs with distinct square cuts.
- 1917 The redesign of 1917 brings back the ornate gothic style of the lettering to the Detroit Tigers’ visual identity, writing its blue “D” in smooth elongated lines again.
- It was a boldly and smoothly executed letter with rounded ends of the bars and sharp sort elements in the middle of two verticals.
- 1921 — 1926 The logo, created for Detroit Tigers in 1921 is one of the most long-lasting visual identity versions of the club, as it was reused twice after its introduction.
- 1927 — 1928 In 1927 the club decided to create something new, and this is when the orange tiger’s head appears in their badges.
- The color palette of the image featured three shades — muted yet dark orange, deep blue, and white for accents.
- 1929 The experiment with the tiger’s head didn’t last long, and already in 1929, the club introduced a new version of their logo.
- The dark blue gothic “D” was outlined in orange, representing the main color of the club’s mascot animal and making the logo more energetic and playful.
- 1934 — 1960 The redesign of 1934 brought a bright graphical badge to the club’s visual identity.
- It was a solid black circular emblem with a yellow image of the tiger’s head.
- This badge stayed with the Detroit Tigers for almost thirty years.
- 1961 — 1993 The club introduced its new emblem in 1961 and this colorful and modern badge stayed with the team for another thirty years.
- The new logo was composed of an orange and blue drawing of a tiger’s head enclosed into a thick circular frame in blue.
- The animal was coming out of the letter and featured a range and blue color palette with some white accents.
- 2016 — Today In 2016 Detroit Tigers refine their logo once again, and the gothic “D” gains elongated and pointed lines, which are slightly curved, adding elegance, playfulness, and charm to the sharp team’s visual identity.
- Color While the official colors of the Detroit Tigers team are midnight navy blue, orange, and white, the logo features only the blue and the white.
