The Cleveland Browns are the only NFL team to never put a logo on their football helmet. There is one small exception to this. In 1965 they donned a brown “CB” for a single pre-season game against Green Bay. It never appeared again. For awhile now the franchise had been building hype and anticipation for […]

Well, it’s that time again. Sportslogos.net has compiled the winners of the coveted and not-so-coveted best logo and worst logo of 2014.

This past month, pizzeria giant Pizza Hut rolled out a new logo for all their branding and identity purposes. They ditched the red, yellow, green, and black logo for a clean, one color(two colors if white is used) look. The shiny button effect on the hut is also replaced with simple flat colors, as is […]

It […]

Netflix has quietly implemented a new logo in a trailer for their original television series, “Orange Is the New Black”. Like everyone else, they are going for a flatter look, showing a red wordmark on a white background instead of the white and black block letters on a red background. Why Netflix has refused to […]
