Dodgers Primary Logo

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a long and storied history that dates back to the late 19th century. The team has had many different logos over the years, but one logo stands out as being particularly iconic: their primary logo. This iconic design has been in use since 1948 and is still used today on everything from jerseys to hats and other apparel.

The original version of this classic logo featured an interlocking “LA” surrounded by two baseballs with a blue star at the center of it all. This was meant to be symbolic of how intertwined baseball was with Los Angeles culture during this time period, as well as representing unity between players on both sides of town (the colors were also taken from those found in LAD's uniforms). In addition, there were three red stripes running across the bottom which represented each decade that had passed since they first joined Major League Baseball in 1890 – thus paying homage to their rich heritage.

Over time, minor changes have been made such as adding more stars or changing up some colors here or there; however for the most part though it remains true to form when compared to its original iteration nearly 70 years ago! It serves not only serve symbolizes a proud past but also looks forward to what new heights can be achieved by this beloved organization moving forward into future generations - making sure everyone knows who they are rooting for come game day!

Los Angeles Dodgers
2012 - Present

The 2012 updated logo, the most obvious change is the thicker line weight on the ball and streaks. There are also multiple edits incorporated into the wordmark. First off, the “O” no longer has a tail on the left side. In fact, the loss of the “O”’s tail allows for a cleaner presentation and allows the viewer to get directly into the word, instead of starting with the superfluous tail. The “E” has also been adjusted to appear that the line coming off the “G” flows smoothly into the stroke of the “E”. The old mark featured a disjointed connection between the two letterforms. Lastly, the wordmark’s tail was edited so it terminates with an inverted rounding line instead of a flat line, which more closely mirrors the wordmark from the team’s jerseys.
