The new Hornets logo utilizes the purple and teal color palette and features an aggressive looking hornet that is ready to attack. Its piercing eyes, raised antennae, expanded wings and pointed stinger depict its relentless intensity. Incorporated within the logo is a basketball that doubles as the hornet’s body. The logo contains several odes to that of the original Hornets with its white wings, white accents within its eyes, a stinger and the inclusion of a basketball. A wordmark “CHARLOTTE HORNETS” in white.

In 2013 a new color scheme added to the existing logo. The Bobcat is now in gray and not orange. The wordmark “BOBCATS” is now in white and the wordmark “CHARLOTTE” now in orange and inside the logo and not on top of the logo.

Slight change in color of bobcat, as the orange is a little lighter in color. All other items in the logo did not change.

The first Bobcats logo comprises of a snarling orange bobcat with the wordmark “BOBCATS” above the cat. An additional wordmark on top of the logo “CHARLOTTE” in blue.
