Meaning and history

St. Louis Rams Logo history

The period when the team played in St. Louis was very significant for its visual identity history, as there were two major logo redesigns, that brought new styles to the franchise, one of which can truly be called the most elegant and recognizable among all Rams’ logos.

1995 – 1999

The redesign of 1995 brought a bright text-based logo to the team. The bold blue “Rams” in the title case was accompanied by a smooth sophisticated blue arch in a yellow outline, with a thick horizontal line, having its left side pointed, where the “St. Louis” lettering in yellow was placed. It was a pretty simple, yet confident and well-balanced logo, which stayed with the franchise for four years.

2000 – 2001

The color palette of the animal’s profile was navy-blue and dark gold, a combination, evoking a sense of excellence, grace, and expertise. There were also some white accents on the ram’s face and horns.
