The Senator’s logo is officially the head of a Roman general, a member of the Senate of the Roman Empire, projecting from a gold circle. The logo is slightly more upright and the additional squint in the eyes makes him more stoic. Mirroring the shift toward visor use in the NHL, his helmet also protects more of his face.

The logo underwent a slight transformation, as the wordmark “Ottawa Senators” disappeared in favor of laurels. The rest of the logo did not change.

The first real logo debuted in time for Ottawa’s inaugural season in 1992 – 1993. The design was simple, more symbolic than detailed, and represented the Centurion or Roman general figure who connected to the term Senator. The logo is in gold, red and black, with Centurion wearing a gold helmet with wings out the back. A wordmark “OTTAWA SENATORS” in black in a semi-circle in front of the face of the centurion.
