The Heat's logo is a simple logo that has not changed over its short history. All changes are color changes. A very clever design of a flaming basketball coming through a hoop. Nice addition of the flame tip on the letter "T" in the wordmark.
2000 - Present
In 1999, Miami Heat logo went through a minor changes, the structure and shape remain unchanged, but the color of the fiery basketball has changed to red below the rim and orange above the rim and the hoop has changed to white with black border. The T on the word Heat also shows a little flame on the top.

The original “flaming ball” logo of the Miami Heat is one of the most popular and instantly recognizable logos in sports history. It consists of a basketball on fire which goes through a black hoop. A wordmark “MIAMI HEAT” in black with black flame on the “T.”
