Stampeders Wordmark Logo

The Calgary Stampeders have a long and proud history in the Canadian Football League (CFL). As one of the oldest teams in the league, they’ve had plenty of time to develop their iconic wordmark logo. The current version has been around since 1993, but there were several iterations before it.

The first official logo for the team was released when they joined what is now known as the CFL back in 1945. It featured a black-and-white image of a horseman with “Calgary Stampeders” written above him, along with two crossed flags at each side. This design remained until 1961 when it was replaced by an updated version that featured more detailed artwork and added color to make it stand out more on television screens during games.

By 1971, another new look was adopted – this time featuring an orange background with white lettering spelling out “Stamps” across its centerpiece and two red stripes running vertically down either side; all set against yellow stars at each corner point representing Alberta's provincial flag colors (red & white). This design would remain unchanged until 1984 when minor adjustments were made such as adding gold trimming around some elements or changing up font styles used within certain areas - like replacing italicized versions for regular ones etc…

Finally after nine years without any major changes being made to their mark; Calgary unveiled yet another redesign that marked their transition into modern times – gone were all signs of traditionalism seen previously from them! Instead, we got something much simpler: just four letters stacked atop one another creating an easily recognizable acronym that could be identified even from afar thanks largely due to its bright red hue being used throughout the entire thing which also helped give off a strong sense of energy/motion too! The only other notable addition here came via a small star placed between the words "Cal" & "Gry".

Today though things are much different than how they once looked back then; while still keeping the same basic shape intact overall aesthetic has changed quite drastically over the past couple of decades becoming an increasingly minimalistic approach instead relying heavily upon bold typography choices alone to create impactful visual presence necessary capture attention fans both near far alike!.
