Liverpool Logo PNG

Conservatism is reflected in the history of the formation of the emblem of FC Liverpool, whose logo constantly bears the image of a mythical griffin. The heraldry of the visualization uses the symbols of the Hillsborough memorial and the arches of the Anfield stadium, paying homage to the club’s roots.

Meaning and History

Over the next years, the Liverpool logo was changed, but the bird remained an important attribute of the emblem.

In 2012, the Liverpool logo with a yellow Liverbird, reminiscent of the golden years of Liverpool, was returned.

The top of the emblem has a stylized image of the Shankly Gate arch from the Enfield Stadium, adorned with the most famous words from the club anthem called “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

The burning torches on the sides of the shield are a symbolic image of the lights at the Hillsborough memorial in Sheffield. April 15, 1989, on the eve of 1/2 Cup of England, there was a terrible crash at this stadium. In 1996, fans of Liverpool, including the cousin of the captain of the “red devils” Gerard, were killed.

The year of the club foundation is depicted on the heraldic ribbon in the form of a fan’s scarf.

Since 1901, there is the mythical Liverbird depicted on the arms of the team flaunts, by whose name the city of Liverpool is named. This is a British analog of the Phoenix bird, although it is more like a hybrid of a cormorant and an eagle. According to the official version, the image is borrowed from the old seal of the English King John Lackland.

The triangular English heraldic shield with a predominance of the red color of the club is the basis of the current Liverpool logo, adopted in 1992 (to the 100th anniversary of the club foundation).

Liverpool FC logos are easily recognizable. The central place on them is the Liverpool bird – the famous symbol of the city. This mythical creature first appeared in the club in 1901 – the bird was engraved on champion medals. Then it was used on the flag. And only in the middle of the 20th century did the bird become part of the emblem.
