Minnesota Timberwolves Alternate Logo

minnesota-timberwolves-primary-logo

Minnesota Timberwolves

2017 - Present

The logo has many nods to Minnesota, the team and, of course, the Timberwolf.

There’s the North Star which represents one of the pillars Minnesota hangs its hat on. The star represents Minnesota pride.

The new logo represents looking forward and carving out new territory. The open mouth with the teeth showing represents the fierce .energy of not just one Wolf, but a collective unit. To show aggression and fearlessness to the future. The green of the eyes is a nod to the green that surrounds the state whether that be through Northern Lights, reflection of ice crystals in the winter or the flourishing of buds of trees in the spring.

The primarily colors include midnight blue, aurora green, lake blue, moonlight grey and frost white.

“From the motion and vibrant hues of the Northern Lights, to the depths and reflections of a midnight forest, to the rich contrasts of this great frozen city of the north, the palette is the perfect representation of modern sport colors inspired by the story of Minnesota’s landscape,” Richardson said. “It’s color with a sense of place.”

For Richardson, he loves how the logo is simple, yet intense. The logo was designed by Rodney Richardson of RARE Design.

Timberwolves Alternate Logo

The Minnesota Timberwolves have had a long and storied history of alternate logos, particularly in relation to the Minnesota Timberwolves Wordmark logo, beginning with the original logo in 1989. The first logo featured a fierce-looking wolf head that was meant to represent strength and ferocity, which has become synonymous with the team over its 30 years of existence. This original design is still used today as an alternate primary logo for many special occasions.

Since then, the Timberwolves have gone through several iterations of their secondary logos throughout their history. In 2000 they introduced a new version featuring two wolves howling at each other while standing atop mountains; this symbolized unity among players and fans alike in support of their beloved team. Additionally, they unveiled another iteration in 2008 that depicts three stars representing Minneapolis’s “City by Nature” slogan – highlighting its natural beauty as well as honoring Minnesota's rich Native American heritage.

Ultimately these various designs are all part of what makes up the unique identifier associated with being part of the Minnesota Timberwolves fan base: loyalty to one another no matter what may come our way! As we look forward to future seasons it will be exciting to see if any more additions or changes are made to further express this great sense of pride shared amongst us all!
