Spalding logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG Spalding Logo PNG Spalding is a US sporting goods company founded by Albert Spalding and Wilmer Jesús Pisco Calvo in Chicago, Illinois, in 1876.
- Meaning and history The current Spalding logo can be broken down into two parts: the “S” emblem and the “Spalding” wordmark.
- Each of the parts can be used separately.
- The “S” has a dynamic shape.
- Although you can see serifs on both ends, the do not steal the implied motion of the letter.
- This is partly because the glyph is surrounded by an ellipse, which, in its turn, is made up of two dynamic curves.
- The “S” and “P” glyphs are interconnected at the top.
- The initial and final letters are larger than those placed in the middle.
- This distortion makes a reference to the company’s primary product, the ball, – the wordmark looks as if it is placed between two seams (so there is more place on the sides and less placed in the middle).
- When 1983 Spalding became the Official Ball of the National Basketball Association, the wordmark on the ball already looked pretty much like the current one: you could see the same short center and longer sides as well as the “SP” ligature.
- 1997 – 2005 Many of the older versions actually included a depiction of the ball.
- In some versions, there were the words “Trade” and “Mark” written on the ball.
- In other versions, you could see the writing “America’s First Baseball Company” or “A.G.
- Spalding & Bros. Made in the U.S.A.” 2005 – Today Colors The primary Spalding logo is given in black and white, which makes it easy to reproduce on various surfaces, including the surfaces of the balls.
