Fresno Grizzlies Logo PNG
The Fresno Grizzlies are a Minor League Baseball club playing in the Pacific Coast League and affiliated with the Houston Astros.
Meaning and history
The history of professional baseball in Fresno, California, started in 1898, while the team itself traces its roots to 1969. The Grizzlies received their current nickname in 1998 and have had at least four primary logos since then. In each of them, the team’s mascot, a grizzly bear, is either present in person or has left its mark.
1998 — 2001
The first Fresno Grizzlies logo featured a furious bear throwing a baseball. The bear is wearing the iconic cap with a violet “F.”
2002 — 2004
In 2002, the emblem was replaced by a wordmark logo dominated by purple. The “bear” concept here was implemented through grey “scratches” over the letters.
2005 — 2007
The grizzly bear’s footprint became the focal point of the 2005 logo, where it was placed inside a shield shape. Here, the color scheme was a completely new one.
2008 — 2018
The primary Fresno Grizzlies logo features the bear with long and sharp claws above the wordmark and a baseball.
2019 — Today
The visual identity of Fresno Grizzlies, created in 2019, is sharp and very powerful. Executed in the same brown, black, red, and white color palette, the new badge boasts a stronger character and evokes a feeling of range, looking aggressive and confident. The bear in this emblem is drawn in profile, facing to the left, with its four claws elongated and stylized as four blades. The lettering is placed under the image, in two lines, with the upper one in black, and the “Grizzlies” in red. The wordmark is crossed by four diagonal lines, repeating the four blades of the graphical part.
Colors
While the team’s official colors are black, orange, and white, the logo also features several shades of brown, which seem perfectly natural for a “bear” theme.
