The Evolution and Legacy of the Indianapolis Colts Logo

The Indianapolis Colts logo has experienced only subtle changes since its early days, making it one of the most consistent in NFL history. The signature blue horseshoe debuted in the 1950s and still represents the team today. From the Indianapolis Colts old logo to minor refinements in outline and shade, each version reflects an era of growth. For a deeper visual comparison, visit our Indianapolis Colts alternate logo page, where you’ll find vintage and alternate variations.

Although the core design has remained unchanged, there has been buzz around an Indianapolis Colts new logo, especially when the team introduced a secondary “C” mark in 2020. Still, the traditional horseshoe remains the official symbol across all branding. For official graphics, merchandise, and news, explore the team’s website. As part of the broader Indianapolis Colts logo history, each update honors tradition while embracing a modern identity that continues to energize fans.
