Meaning and history
2000 — 2014
Fans saw the original Monarchs’ logo for the first time at the beginning of 2000-2001 season. A lion head as the logo of the ice hockey team with a “royal” name didn’t come as a surprise. The lion is wearing a crown to lay more emphasis on their “royalty”. The team’s name is above the lion’s head. The Monarchs used black, gold, silver and purple in that logo. Thanks to the color scheme the logo looks spectacular.
2014 — 2015
Then the club decided to remove the purple and gold colors. Some part of their identity was lost. Yet, the black and grey version looks modern and is great as well.
The new Manchester-based franchise keeps not only the name of their predecessor but also their logo. They made just one alteration ‒ they withdrew from the wordmark with the team’s name. The result they got was a simple and at the same time a solid logo.
