Arizona Diamondbacks Logo PNG
The American baseball team the Arizona Diamondbacks made their first appearance in the MLB franchise in 1998. But in fact their history began three years earlier when the ownership organized a special contest. People were asked to suggest names for a new baseball team from Arizona. Of all the ideas submitted to the jury “Diamondbacks” was recognized as the best name capable of drawing attention to an unknown team from the Arizona desert.
Meaning and history
Arizona Diamondbacks is a pretty young team compared to all other clubs in the Major League Baseball, but it has already won many titles. It has even won the 2001 World Series championship, not to mention the nine National League titles of the club, one NL pennant, and the Wild Card Game.
Arizona Diamondbacks have been playing on one stadium since the foundation, but until 2005 the arena was called Bank One Ballpark, which changed to Chase Field after Bank One Corp merged with JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Today the club, nicknamed The D-backs or The Snakes, is owned by Ken Kendrick, and managed by Mike Hazen, who previously worked with Boston Red Sox.
What are Arizona Diamondbacks?
Arizona Diamondbacks is the name of a professional baseball club in the united states, which was established in 1998. Today one of the youngest baseball teams in America competes in the Major League Baseball as a member of the West Division of the National League. The club has Chase Field as its home arena and Mike Hazen as the general manager.
1998 — 2006
For their debut in 1998 the team prepared an emblem consisting of the wordmark “Diamondbacks” and a letter “A” with a snake’s tongue as a crossbar, everything depicted in italic type. The people who created the logo were inspired by the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, a species of snakes that is found in Arizona. This was how Diamondbacks logo history started.
2007
While the old logo was in purple, turquoise, copper, black and off-white colors, the logo unveiled in 2007 featured sedona red, black and sonoran sand for the outline. Other modifications were connected with the wordmark. It changed its font and became greater in size. The letters “A” and “K” acquired extenders that were supposed to simulate fangs of a snake. The letter “A” underwent no changes, except that it became somewhat smaller, and it remained on top.
2008 — 2011
The Arizona Diamondbacks logo created in 2008 was actually the refined and modernized version of the previous badge, with the intensified color palette and strengthened lettering. The red became darker, and the zig-zags started looking more massive and sharp. As for the wordmark, its outline was removed, so now it was just black lettering on a white background, which was still executed in the same recognizable typeface with elegant contours and pointed lines.
2012 — Today
After four seasons in 2012 the Rattlesnakes introduced a new logo which is still in use. They continued with the same color scheme as in the previous symbol, but removed the wordmark that used to be depicted below the letter “A”.
Color
The color scheme of the Arizona Diamondbacks logo includes sedona red (hex color #A71930), sonoran sand (hex color #E3D4AD), black (hex color #000000) and white (hex color #FFFFFF).
The name of the shade for the red color originates from a canyon near Sedona. “Sonoran Sand” was cast over by the Sonoran Desert, as it reminds the beige shade of the sand.
The D-backs’ uniform colors are the same. They also added teal (hex color #30CED8). The Snakes use different combinations of their color scheme. There are eight of them, including away grey uniforms and white uniforms for use during home games.
