1934 — Today
The Masters’ logo, designed in 1934, featured a combination of a simple yet massive emblem and two-leveled lettering, which can be set where on the right of the image, or under it. Also, the shortened version of the badge with just the first part of the inscription is often used for advertising materials.
The emblem of the Masters’ Tournament depicts a solid yellow silhouette of the USA map, outlined in green, with a green and white shadow, adding some volume to the picture. The yellow body of the map has a white hole with a green and red golf flag set on the bottom right part, right where the Georgia State is located.
As for the lettering, it is set in green bold lines of a custom cursive typeface. The uppercase lettering (with the first letters of both words enlarged) is italicized and looks elegant and tender, adding a touch of sophistication and class to the simple emblem of the tournament. The typeface used for The Masters’ logo looks very similar to the New Baskerville font, with the lines of some letters elongated and curved.
