This logo is an updated to the original initials “TC” logo used by the Twins from 1961 through 2022; the serifs at the end of the letter “T” have changed, the letter “C” is much smaller, and the shade of blue has been darkened.

The Twins logo in 1987, featured a red with blue and white trim scripted wordmark “Twins” and with underscore highlighting “win” on a white with red seams baseball. On top of the baseball is a wordmark “MINNESOTA” in blue.

Illustrator Ray Barton 1930 – 2010 created the iconic image of Twins “Minnie” and “Paul” wearing baseball uniforms bearing the initials of Minneapolis and St. Paul shaking hands over the Mississippi river on a light blue design of the state Minnesota late in 1960. Whatever the case, Griffith decided to turn the drawing into the team’s official logo. Barton was paid $15 for his artwork.
