Warriors Primary Logo

The Golden State Warriors have a long and storied history in the NBA. The team has been around since 1946 when they were founded as the Philadelphia Warriors. Throughout their years of existence, they’ve gone through several logo changes that reflect both their location and identity as a professional basketball team.

The first primary logo used by the franchise was during its days in Philadelphia before it moved to San Francisco in 1962. It featured an orange circle with two white stars above “Philadelphia” written inside it along with “Warriors” below it all enclosed within a blue border line which symbolized strength and courage for those who wore this emblem on their uniforms or merchandise back then, particularly in relation to the Golden State Warriors Alternate logo. This logo was also seen on various marketing materials such as posters, banners, etc., but unfortunately is no longer used today due to its outdated look from over 50 years ago.

In 1971 after moving to Oakland, California, the Golden State Warriors unveiled what would become one of the most iconic logos ever created for any sports organization: The classic blue-and-golden bridge design accompanied by "Golden State" scripted across the top portion of this unique crest which represented not only Bay Area pride but also highlighted how much more connected everyone felt being part of something special together; hence why this particular iteration remains so beloved even today despite numerous iterations throughout recent decades. This version continued until 2011 when another update came out featuring just three letters (GSW) arranged inside an abstract shape resembling a basketball hoop—a nod towards modernity while still managing to remain faithful enough visually speaking compared to previous designs without appearing too generic either way; thus making sure fans could recognize them at first glance regardless if you were looking at jerseys or hats worn proudly amongst diehard supporters everywhere around America & beyond!
