Redblacks Wordmark Logo

The Ottawa Redblacks are a professional Canadian Football League (CFL) team based in the nation’s capital. The franchise was established in 2014 and has since become one of the most successful teams in the league. As with any sports team, its logo is an important part of its identity and culture. Here we take a look at how their wordmark logo has evolved over time to become what it is today.

The original Ottawa Redblacks wordmark was unveiled shortly after they joined the CFL back in 2014, featuring two thick red stripes that curved around to form an ‘O’ shape for their name – this design served as a tribute to both Canada’s national flag and football itself as well as being visually striking enough for fans to recognize quickly when seen on merchandise or promotional materials.
Over time however, small changes were made such as adding a serif font typeface which gave it more character while still maintaining its recognizable shape; then later on making slight adjustments like adjusting letter spacing so that everything fits better within the ‘O’ frame without compromising legibility or overall aesthetics too much either way - these tweaks helped ensure maximum impact whenever someone saw it out there representing their beloved team!

In 2018 further modifications were introduced including changing up some colors from solid red/black tones into gradient shades which added depth & dimensionality plus improved visibility even further; additionally, new details like stars & maple leaves featured prominently around edges also brought about positive reactions from loyal supporters who appreciated seeing elements of Canada represented within official branding too!

Finally last year (2020) another update happened where instead of just having flat coloring now there are metallic gold accents included along with subtle drop-shadow effects giving the whole thing an extra bit of oomph needed to make sure everyone knows exactly who they're looking at every single time no matter circumstances - all these little touches combined to create something truly special here indeed!
