Since 1967, the Saint Peter’s Peacocks logo has been updated three times, and yet, it has been consistent in its visual core.
The 1967 logo featured an anthropomorphized peacock standing in full height. The logo was dominated by the tail. It did not look like a tail but rather like a blue patch with white dots.
In 2003, the teams introduced an emblem featuring only the peacock’s head with the tail on the background. The name of the team in large letters could be seen in the forefront.
The updates made in 2012 were very subtle.
The 2020 logo features a peacock’s dark blue and white head.
