Bears Primary Logo
The Chicago Bears have a long and storied history, and their primary logo has been an integral part of that story. From the team’s inception in 1920 to today, the iconic “C” shaped by two bear heads has become one of the professional sports' most recognizable logos. The original design was created by George Halas himself, who wanted to represent his beloved city with a symbol that would be both memorable and unique.
Throughout its history, the logo underwent several minor modifications while still maintaining its basic form. In 1974 it was changed slightly so that each bear head had three stars on top instead of two; this change also incorporated more colors into the design which made it stand out even more from other teams' logos at the time. In 2003 another update took place when they replaced their traditional navy blue color with an updated shade known as "Midnight Blue". This new iteration gave off a much bolder look than before while still staying true to its roots as being instantly recognizable for generations of fans across all age groups alike!
Today's version is arguably one of the sport's best-known symbols - no matter where you go or what team you root for chances are high everyone will know exactly what your favorite NFL franchise is just from seeing this classic image alone! It stands tall among other great designs like those belonging to teams such as Dallas Cowboys or New England Patriots thanks not only because it looks good but also due to how well-recognized it has become over time - something many organizations strive towards but few can actually achieve success in doing so successfully as Chicago Bears did since 1920 up until now!

The white color, on the other hand, represents its charm and elegance.
