- The alternate logo, used by the club during this period featured an image of the basketball with three Dino claws above it, enclosed in a circular frame.
- 2008 — 2015 The color palette of the Raptors’ visual identity was switched to red, black, and white in 2008, with all the purple elements of the background changed to black, and the monochrome uniform of the Raptor, the logo started looking more passionate and strong, reflecting the essence and the mood of the Toronto basketball club.
