Real Betis Logo PNG
The Spanish club’s emblem is purposeful. The Real Betis logo represents teamwork, creativity, and attack. As the sign’s symbols show, the club is under the crown’s auspices and has noble roots.
On September 12, 1907, students in Seville founded Sevilla Balompié, using a Spanish term for football. After a split from Sevilla FC in 1909 and a merger in 1914, the club became Real Betis Balompié following royal approval from Alfonso XIII.
The club adopted green and white in 1910, linked to materials brought from Scotland and associated with Celtic FC. The first derby against Sevilla took place on October 8, 1915, ended 4:3, and was marked by crowd unrest.
In 1932, Betis won Segunda and reached the top division. Under Patrick O’Connell, the club won La Liga in 1934–35, finishing ahead of Real Madrid. It remains the only league title in its history.
The club then declined, leading to relegation to the third tier in 1947. Support remained strong, and by 1954 the club returned to Segunda. On June 25, 1977, Betis won the Copa del Rey after a long penalty shootout against Athletic Bilbao, then eliminated AC Milan in the European Cup before losing to Dynamo Moscow.
In 1994, Lorenzo Serra Ferrer led Betis back to La Liga. The club finished third in 1994–95 and reached the 1997 Copa del Rey final against FC Barcelona. In 2005, it won another cup against CA Osasuna. It entered the Champions League group stage with Liverpool F.C., Chelsea F.C., and R.S.C. Anderlecht.
In 2022, under Manuel Pellegrini, Betis beat Valencia CF on penalties in the Copa del Rey. In 2024, it reached the Conference League final but lost to Chelsea F.C. 1:4.
Meaning and History
Almost all of the team’s logos, except the first, reflect its name either in full or as the original monogram. The Latin word “Baetis” means the river Guadalquivir, on whose banks Seville is built.

1913 – 1914
After the Sevilla Balompié split, the Balompié club was formed and soon merged with Betis Football Club. This is how Betis Balompié was born. Its first emblem was the same as Betis FC: the “BFC” monogram in a green circle. The designers added the crown because the team had received recognition from Alfonso XIII. With the king’s patronage, they added the word “Real” to the name.
During the same period, they used a graphic sign featuring a white circle with a club, racket, and soccer ball at its center. At the bottom was a semicircular inscription, “REAL BETIS BALOMPIE,” and a wreath and crown were at the top.
1914 – 1919
The new logo is a circle divided into two parts by a diagonal line. The word “BETIS” is in the other half, “BALOMPIE.” Above the circle is a red-and-yellow crown.

In the first case, the outlines are red and yellow; in the second, they are black.
