- Download PNG ESPN Logo PNG ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) is an American satellite/cable sports TV channel.
- Headquartered in Bristol, it also runs offices in other USA cities.

- ESPN, one of the USA’s most well-known cable tv channels, dedicated to sports, is owned by The Walt Disney Company and Hearst Corporation.
- 1979 – 1985 The very first ESPN badge was created in 1979 and had not much in common with the emblem we all know today.
- The inscription was placed on a white background and enclosed into a horizontally stretched oval, executed in a thick line of a luxurious terracotta color.
- The stylized scarlet red inscription with wide futuristic sans-serif letters, slightly slanted to the right, has a white horizontal line citing in on its upper part, as a representation of movement and dynamics.
- Symbol: print version While the digital ESPN symbol combines red, black, and white, the print version is different.
- Evolution of the emblem The first ESPN logo was introduced on July 14, 1978, but it was only on September 7, 1979, that it was first included in television programs.
- The original emblem featured the letters “ESPN” in a somewhat muted shade of red.
- The current emblem was created in 1985.
- For instance, it is pretty obvious in the shape of the letters, especially the “S” and “P.” Font The 1985 logo was inspired by the typeface called Stop, which was designed in 1971 by Aldo Novarese, a prolific type designer who was working for the type foundry Nebiolo at the time.
- However, the author of the logo didn’t leave the font as it was.
- Having chosen the most impactful part, the white stroke on the “E,“ the designer built the logo on its basis.
