LA Galaxy Logo

The LA Galaxy is a soccer club from Los Angeles, California. They were among the founders of MLS. The team has been playing in the Western Conference since 1996. The name of the team from Los Angeles along with the logo and other brand things were developed by Nike. The club got the name due to the fact that many movie stars live in Los Angeles. They also meant to show that the club was going to become a team where many famous soccer players would like to continue their careers. This idea still remains the same. LA Galaxy is the only MLS team that has kept the initial name.

The current logo of the LA Galaxy was introduced in 2007 after the club signed David Beckham. This is the third edition of the logo. The first one was created in 1996 and contained white, red, black, turquoise, and orange colors. A spiral galaxy looking like a whirlwind with the name of the club placed inside it was a part of the logo as a symbol of the big city rush and the passion of sports. Orange symbolized California.

 

Then the logo was slightly changed in 2003. Some parts disappeared, for example, the blue circle. The other components changed the color. In general, nothing was too much different from the original logo.

Finally the club got the current version during the 2007 global re-branding program. The club’s board wanted to highlight the legendary status of David Beckham who joined the team. The LA Galaxy general manager Alexi Lalas addressed a special company to create a new logo using the official brand colors. Today the logo contains a bright star in the upper part of the heraldic shield. Letters LA are placed right under the star. There is also a golden ribbon in the bottom part. It contains a “Galaxy” inscription of black color. The main colors of the current logo are blue and yellow.
