The third primary logo for this team came about in 1989 which saw a much more stylized take on their original concept – now featuring two tigers facing each other against an orange background surrounded by black lines at both ends forming what is known today as "the claw" look. The wordmark also underwent changes here with italicized fonts being used instead along with larger letters spelling out "HAMILTON TIGER CATS."

In 2017, after nearly 30 years of using this same design, they decided to give their brand identity another update – introducing yet another new primary logo which features two fierce-looking cats facing off against one another while creating a powerful 'X' formation between them; all set atop a navy blue background framed within white borders at either end containing smaller versions of their previous paw print iconography alongside additional wording detailing exactly who these cats belong too: namely - HAMILTON TIGER-CATS CFL FOOTBALL TEAM!
