Coyotes Primary Logo
The Phoenix Coyotes have been a part of the National Hockey League since 1996. The team has had several different logos throughout its history, but its primary logo has remained relatively consistent. The original logo was created in 1996 and featured a coyote howling at a crescent moon with the word “Phoenix” written across it. This design was used until 2003 when it underwent minor changes to make it look more modern and aggressive. In 2003, the colors were changed from blue and orange to black, white, red, and sandstone; while still keeping its original design intact with slight modifications such as sharper lines around the edges of both elements within the logo (coyote & moon).
In the 2011-2012 season, another modification took place where they added two additional stars on either side of Phoenix which gave off an even stronger sense that this is Arizona's NHL team representing them in professional hockey leagues all over North America! Finally, in 2016 they decided to go back to their roots by bringing back some aspects from previous versions like adding yellow into the color palette along with re-introducing sharp angles around edges giving off a more dynamic feel overall - making sure that everyone knows who represents Arizona on the ice rink!
Overall these subtle changes show how much care goes into creating the perfect identity for each franchise within NHL - something that fans can identify themselves with no matter what city or country they're living in! With the new version being released just last year we can expect further updates coming soon so stay tuned for any news related to Phoenix Coyotes Primary Logo History NHL!
2004 - 2014
In 2003 – 2004, the Coyotes introduced a much cleaner, less experimental design to represent the team. The color scheme was simplified to a brick and tan and the logo is way less busy than the hectic design that came before it.
2000 - 2003
In 1999 the logo remained same with a darker shade of brick red and removed the wordmark “Phoenix Coyotes.” The coyote image is much larger.
1997 - 1999
When first designing the logo, artist Greg Fisher was actually asked to stay away from something menacing and instead focus on embracing the Southwest culture in an attempt to make the Arizona residents feel the team truly belonged to them. The logo consists of a sienna-colored Coyote wearing half of a sand-colored goalie mask and a brick red hockey jersey with hunter green pants. Clutching a sand hockey stick with a purple crescent moon logo on its chest.
