Washington Wizards Primary Logo

Washington Wizards

2015 - Present

The new primary logo incorporates the “monument ball” design that has been in place since 2011 in combination with the iconic striping from the team’s uniforms, the three stars that represent D.C., Maryland and Virginia and the team’s wordmark “WASHINGTON” on top and “WIZARDS” on the bottom all in white.

Wizards Primary Logo

The Washington Wizards have a long and storied history when it comes to their primary logo. The team has gone through several iterations of the design, reflecting changes in ownership, branding strategies, and even the city's identity over time.

The first iteration of the Wizards' primary logo was unveiled in 1997 when they were known as the "Bullets," particularly in relation to the Washington Wizards Alternate logo. This version featured an orange basketball with red stripes on either side that formed a 'W.' It also had two stars above it representing Washington D.C., which at that time was still considered part of Maryland rather than its own district. This design is still used today for throwback merchandise or special occasions such as anniversaries or holidays related to D.C.

In 2001, after changing their name from Bullets to Wizards due to gun violence concerns within DC communities at large, the team updated its logo again by adding blue accents around both sides of the W along with some additional star detailing near each corner. This new look gave off a more magical feel while maintaining connections back to both DC culture and sports teams like baseball’s Nationals who use similar color schemes. Today this version continues being used across all official merchandise, uniforms, and other promotional materials associated with Washington’s NBA franchise.
