The first iteration of this logo was introduced in 1903 when then-owner Charles Somers decided to change the name from “Cleveland Blues” to “Cleveland Guardians” due to his belief that guardians protect those they serve and he wanted his team's name to reflect this sentiment. From there, small changes were made periodically until 1988 when designer Alan Eiseman redesigned it for modern times while still keeping its classic look intact by using brighter colors such as orange instead of yellow and adding more detail with shadows behind each letter giving them extra dimensionality.

This new version quickly became popular among both players and fans alike which is why we still see it today on hats, jerseys, t-shirts, etc., making sure everyone knows who they are cheering for whenever they take part in any game or event-related activity representing their beloved Cleveland Guardians!
