Seahawks Logo: Origin and Background
The Seattle Seahawk is an American football team that is originated and is based in Seattle, state of Washington. This football team was founded in 1974 out of the efforts of Seattle Professional Football Inc. that is a collaboration of businessmen and leaders in Seattle. The Seattle Professional Football Inc. intended to have a National Football League for the City of Seattle at that time and subsequent events made this goal realize. The expansion franchise was granted to the City of Seattle on December of the same year.
The year preceding the signing of the franchise, 1975, the Seattle Seahawks was delegated a General Manager and in the same year the team they were trying to build was named after a bird also known as Osprey. August of 1976 the Seahawks took on their first game in the constructed Kingdome against the San Francisco 49ers. The Seattle Seahawks by far is the only team in the National Football League (NFL) that had switched conferences. As indicated earlier, this team switched with the Buccaneers from the National Football Conference (NFC) to the American Football Conference (AFC) having started in 1976 just after one season. The team was brought back to the NFL after the Houston Texans joined the as the 32nd team. In doing this, each conference had equal four divisions with four teams each.
Seattle Seahawks Logo Inspiration
The Seattle Seahawks Logo was created as a product of the collaboration of the team’s General Manager John Thompson and the partners in the Seattle Professional Football Inc. that first initiated the making of the team, this is in 1975. Their ideals merged and altogether conceptualize to make this logo real enough to appeal and represent the entirety of the team.
Though the Seahawks logo has been explicitly derived from the Osprey but there are other people believing that this icon featured in the logo is closely referenced to the Haida Eagle form.
Initially the details of the Seahawks logo did not display as much of the much need head-turning detail. It was made out basically with a silouette of the head of the bird. The team’s management had to reformat this logo and add more fierceness to it since this is representing the team in a competition that highlights strength, sportsmanship and victory. So it evolved.
Theme of the Seahawks Logo
The Seattle Seahawks Logo was themed with hues Royal Blue, forest green and powder blue. It was conceived from the Northwestern Tribal Art so the resulting modified logo is now more current and appealing to the crowd. The fierceness displayed in the logo evokes a feeling of strength for the competition.
No additional details were added to couple the fierceness of the hawk to just supply the much needed emphasis to the subject. This logo is stand alone and does not require any further additional elements. It is a rule that in any type of art work you only emphasize one aspect to provide proper leveling of the elements in the art work so adding more details to the logo was found unnecessary.
