Arsenal FC Primary Logo

Arsenal Football Club is a professional football club based in North London, England. The club has been around since 1886 and has gone through many changes over the years, including its primary logo. The Arsenal FC primary logo history reveals an interesting story of how the team’s image evolved from its humble beginnings to where it stands today.

The original crest featured three cannons on a shield with two crossed swords below it and the words 'Victoria Concordia Crescit' above it meaning “victory comes through harmony” in Latin. This emblem was used until 1949 when they changed their name to Arsenal Football Club Ltd., which led them to update their crest as well by adding red stars along with some minor modifications such as replacing Victoria Concordia Crescit with "Forward". This new version would be used for nearly 40 years before being replaced again in 1988 by another design that included four cannon barrels instead of three, more intricate detail within each barrel, and still had red stars at either side of the shield along with “Forward” inscribed across it once again but this time is written out much larger than before.
This latest version remains largely unchanged up until now except for one small alteration made back in 2002 when they decided to remove any reference whatsoever regarding what company owned them so that all focus could remain solely on Arsenal itself rather than who owns them financially or otherwise; thus leaving us only with just four cannon barrels encased inside a circular border surrounded by eight-pointed star-like shapes representing unity among players & fans alike while also maintaining Forward underneath everything else like always but this time wrote much smaller than ever before.

In conclusion, we can see how far arsenal has come since first introducing themselves into English football way back in 1886; not only have they become one of Europe's most successful teams both domestically & internationally but also managed to keep up appearances too thanks largely due their iconic Primary Logo History which continues evolve even further every single year!

Another 15 leaves of the laurel were depicted on sixpenny coins, which the 15 founders put in the general treasury in 1886. Forward is the motto, connected with armament and battles.
