Orioles Wordmark Logo

This particular logo was adopted by the Orioles organization in 1989 when they moved away from previous designs which featured more realistic depictions of birds or symbols related to baseballs such as bats or balls within an ornate circle surrounding text reading either "Orioles" or "Baltimore." This change was made due largely to feedback received during focus groups conducted prior to selecting a new design; fans wanted something simple yet distinctively unique for their beloved ball club's official mark moving forward into modern times.

Today, this iconic symbol can be seen everywhere throughout Charm City – from Camden Yards (the home ballpark for Baltimore) all across town adorning t-shirts worn proudly by locals who support one of America's oldest franchises still standing today after over 120 years! It continues being recognized around MLB stadiums nationwide proving that even though other teams may come & go - no one will ever forget about these legendary Birds Of Prey!
