Minnesota Twins logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- 1901 Established in 1901, Washington Senators adopted a simple arched wordmark in the blue and white color palette as its first official logo.
- 1904 The arched “Washington” wordmark came back in 1904 with its contours strengthened and cleaned.
- The shapes of the letters were refined and now looked more balanced and solid than on the version from 1901.
- 1905 The club changed its name to Washington Nationals in 1905 and introduced a new logo — a strict serif “W” in the same dark blue and white color palette, standing for confidence, reliability, and professionalism.
- 1928 The redesign of 1928 brought a new color palette to the club’s visual identity — the “W” was now executed in bright red and outlined in blue.
- As for the style of the lettering, its typeface was switched to a massive and bold serif, which added confidence and power to the new bright logo.
- The upper part of the ball was taken by an image of the Capitol in monochrome with a black baseball cap on its peak.
- The “Washington Nationals” wordmark was placed under the emblem and set in two levels, with the upper one in black, and the lower — in red.
- Its white and black image was placed on a blue background with the upper line arched from the center.
- 1955 — 1958 In 1955 the club got back its original name, Washington Senators, but kept the logo designed in 1948 for another three years, as the only lettering on the badge was a yellow “W”, which suited both Senators and Nationals.
- 1959 — 1960 The last logo was designed for Washington Senators in 1959 and featured a bright and modern caricature of a man executed in black and white, placed on a circular badge, where the inner part was colored red and the outline featured a wide white and thin black framing.
- The red “Minnesota Twins” wordmark and a distinct yellow outline of the badge complemented it and made it brighter.
- 1987 — 2009 The redesign of 1987 brought a modern and fancy badge to the Minnesota Twins’ visual identity.
- It was a white baseball in a thin black outline with Ted switched, having a bold script “Twins” lettering in red and blue over it and a straight underlined “Minnesota” in blue capitals placed on its upper part.
- The club also got its secondary logo designed in the same year — a fancy red “M” underlined by an arched sharp stroke and placed on a calm yet dark blue background.
- Both the letter and the underline were outlined in white and looked solid and distinct.
- The “Minnesota Baseball Club” white inscription is executed in a stylish serif typeface with wide modern letters and sharp elements on their serifs.
- The “Twins” with an underlining stroke got its contours thickened, becoming a brighter and a more powerful version of itself.
- Color The palette is comprised of three colors: navy blue, scarlet red, and white.
- In addition to the three colors featured in the logo, the team’s official palette also includes a shade of yellow called Minnesota Kasota gold.
