Evolution of the Oakland Raiders Logo Primary Emblem
The Oakland Raiders logo was first introduced in 1960 and has stayed true to its original design for decades. While slight updates were made over the years, the core look—swords, helmeted figure, and shield—remained intact. Fans can explore older artwork and refinements by visiting our Oakland Raiders Wordmark logo page, where you’ll find legacy visuals from different seasons.
Today, many still use the Oakland Raiders logo PNG for digital projects or throwback collections. The move to Las Vegas brought a new name but didn’t change the visual identity. The Oakland Raiders new logo is essentially the same, honoring the team's deep history. For current branding and official content, visit the Las Vegas Raiders official website. The emblem’s legacy lives on, just like Raider Nation.
