Los Angeles Dodgers
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.
Dodgers Wordmark Logo
The Los Angeles Dodgers wordmark logo has a long and storied history. It is one of the most recognizable logos in all of the professional sports, and it has been an integral part of the team’s identity since its inception in 1958. The original logo featured two interlocking “D” letters inside a blue circle with white trim, which was designed by Walter O’Malley himself. This design stayed relatively unchanged until 1978 when they changed to their current version which features three intertwined “D” letters inside a red circle with white trim.
Since then, there have been some minor tweaks made to the logo such as adding shadows or changing up colors for special events but overall it remains largely unchanged from its original form over 60 years ago. While other teams have gone through drastic changes to their logos throughout time, like changing fonts or completely redesigning them altogether; The Dodgers' iconic wordmark has remained consistent throughout all these years because it represents so much more than just a team name - It symbolizes an entire city's pride and loyalty towards their beloved baseball squad!
From winning World Series titles back in 1959 & 1988 to developing legendary players like Sandy Koufax & Clayton Kershaw; There is no denying that this classic emblem will forever be ingrained into our memories as one of the sport's most beloved symbols! Through thick and thin (even during times when they weren't very successful) fans always showed up wearing Dodger Blue proudly displaying this timeless mark on hats shirts jackets etc... As we enter into another season here at Chavez Ravine let us never forget what makes us proudest: Our Los Angeles Dodgers Wordmark Logo History!
