Minnesota Timberwolves logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Although their logo has always been built around the image of a wolf, it was not one and the same wolf.
- Both the animal and the wordmark underwent profound changes.
- Meaning and history In terms of main symbols and color palette, the visual identity of the Minnesota Timberwolves basketball club has always been pretty consistent — the gray, blue, and green combination with an image of a wolf on it, this is how each of four badges created for the team looks like, though the style and disposition vary from logo to logo.
- 1989 — 1996 The original logo for Timberwolves showed a gray and acid-blue basketball with a green outline and a white and blue wolves’ portrait on its left side.
- 1996 — 2008 The refinement of 1996 conveyed a new image to the club.
- The animal’s portrait was placed above the green trees with a stylized wordmark crossing them.
- The “Minnesota” in white clean capitals was placed on a narrow black banner above the blue “Timberwolves” with uneven elongated shapes and white outline.
- 2008 — 2017 The color palette of the emblem was brightened up in 2008, adding a light green shade to the trees and white — to the lettering.
- Font The primary logo used in 2008–2017 sported a distinctive all-cap typeface with rather sharp angles in the letters “M”, “W”, and “V”.
- In the “Wolves” wordmark logo used in 2009–2017 this distinctive feature was emphasized.
- It would have been regular if not for the “A”, which lacks the horizontal bar and thus looks like a “V” turned upside down.
- Color In terms of the color scheme the Minnesota Timberwolves logo has stayed mostly consistent since 1989.
- It has always been based on a combination of green, black, blue, grey, and white.
- The current logo comprises a bright shade of green (Aurora Green) paired with two rather discreet shades of blue (a darker one, called Midnight Blue, and a lighter one, called Lake Blue,); a very light, almost transparent shade of grey (Moonlight Grey); and white for the letters (Frost White).
