The new and still active primary logo arrived for 2007 – 2008. The shark is much more three-dimensional, menacing, powerful. It’s bursting out of the logo to bite the hockey stick. Its teeth are razor sharp and its eyes glow with the same yellowy orange.

In 2008, a redesigned of the Sharks logo changed the shark position and look. The shark add a new color teal with black and white. The shark is still coming out of the top left corner and biting on a hockey stick.

In 1999 the Sharks made very small changes to the original logo. The black and white shark is still coming out of one of the corners of the triangle. The shark is crushing a hockey stick.

According to the brain trust behind the design, the decision was deliberate, as they didn’t want to scare children. And the triangle wasn’t simply capitalizing on Pittsburgh’s success at the time, it actually stands for the Bay Area trifecta of San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland.
