Swansea City logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG Swansea City Logo PNG Meaning and history During the first 60 years of its history, the Swansea City Association Football Club used a badge heavily based on the crest of its home city.
- 1912 – 1922 The team started its history in 1912 under the name of the Swansea Town.
- 1922 – 1970 The second Swansea City FC logo (1922) featured almost the same components, although they were redrawn using a slightly different style, color palette, and overall proportions.
- The new badge looked very recognizable but had a completely different mood from the badge, created in 1970.
- 1973 – 1977 In 1973-1977, the team temporarily switched to a red dragon badge.
- 1979 – 1984 The redesign of 1979 kept the black swan almost unchanged but made it a bit smaller to fit into a new composition.
- It was still a circular black-and-white badge, but now the white medallion boasted a thick black outline, where the bold white “Swansea City Football Club” inscription in the uppercase of a simple sans-serif typeface was written around the perimeter.
- The black framing turned white with a thin black outline, and the lettering became black.
- Although the iconic bird was still there’d all the elements were changed and redrawn.
- 1992 – 1993 In addition to black and white, the 1992 and 1993 Swansea City logo also featured shades of blue.
- 1993 – 1998 The redesign of 1993 modernized the new blue white and black Swansea City FC badge, emboldening and elongating the lines of the bird’s wings, softening the gradient blue background, and rewriting the inscription.
- 2000 – 2002 For less than two years, at the beginning of the 2000s, the club has been using the flat version of its iconic badge.
- It was a two-dimensional swan with an arched inscription under it, executed in a classic red and placed on a white background.
- In the new color palette, the logo looked completely different — passionate and very energetic.
- 2005 – 2007 The redesign of 2005 brought the logo back to its black and white color palette, though kept the two-dimensional design.
- This time the image with the lettering under it was placed on a white background and enclosed into a thin black circular frame.
- 2012 – 2013 For the 100th anniversary of the Swansea City Football Club, the new logo was designed.
- The celebration badge was executed in a gold and white color palette and combined an image of the ironic bird with traditional crest and smooth elegant ribbons, where the white serif lettering was placed.
- Inside the shield, under the swan, there was a “Centenary” wordmark written in the uppercase, and under the crest, a small dark gold banner with the white “1912 — 2012” datemark.
- While the uniforms also feature other colors (yellow, red, blue), the Swansea City logo stays achromatic.
