rebels Logos and Brands

Sports teams, music groups, and fictional factions bearing the name “Rebels” define the theme of this section. The image of a rebel, insurgent, and nonconformist runs through the logos of clubs and groups that use symbols of resistance, raised fists, stars, and crossed-out signs of submission. In sports, the name Rebels appears on university and minor-league teams, where the rebellious style of the emblem is intended to motivate athletes and fans. Among fictional universes, the most recognizable symbol is the Rebel Alliance from Star Wars, which has become a mass-culture symbol of the struggle against the Empire, and brands in this section more or less inherit the archetype of the rebel rising against superior forces.
