In 2014, the Premier League club West Ham marked the move to the Olympic Stadium with a new emblem. Based on the traditional club colors, the new West Ham logo has a simpler and more streamlined form. The iconic image of the hammers is located in the center of the emblem and painted in golden color. Double-lined arched wordmark “WEST HAM UNITED” in white and below the hammers “LONDON” in white.

West Ham United Primary Logo

West Ham United Football Club is a professional football club based in East London, England. Founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks FC, the club has been through many changes since then and currently plays its home matches at the London Stadium. One of these changes was to their primary logo which has gone through several iterations throughout West Ham’s history.

The first iteration of West Ham’s primary logo featured an image of two crossed hammers with a shield containing three heraldic symbols: a castle representing strength; a ship for seafaring heritage; and an anchor symbolizing stability. This design was used from 1901 until 1921 when it underwent some minor modifications such as the addition of “Westham United F C” written across the top part of the shield above where it says “Established 1895". The colors were also changed to black and white instead or red, blue, and white during this time period

In 1999 West ham unveiled its current primary logo which features only one hammer but still includes all three heraldic symbols on its shield along with “United FC" written below them in gold lettering against an orange background. Since then there have been no major alterations apart from slight tweaks made over time such as changing certain fonts or adding extra elements like stars around it to commemorate special occasions like winning promotion back into Premier League after relegation in the 2011/2012 season. Altogether, this modern version continues to honor both past traditions while reflecting a new era for the team moving forward into the future.
