Esports is a wonderful form of entertainment nowadays. Video gaming athletes gather many times a year to compete for different video game developers such as League of Legends, Dota, Counter-Strike, Valorant, Overwatch, Street Fighter, Super Smash Bros., and StarCraft, among many others.
Some of these e-sports professional teams have won many championships and have taken away millions in prizes. Let’s take a look at their logos. These logos are visible every time they play against another esports team. They’re also seen on their t-shirts and other forms of merchandise.
1. Team Liquid
Team Liquid is a worldwide esports organization with over 60 championship-caliber athletes in 14 of the world’s top games.
Their logo follows the industry style of E-sports or gaming. Typical of this style is by using an animal as an icon. In Team Liquid’s case, it’s the use of a black horse facing the right side. In the background is an armor shield.
2. Cloud 9
Cloud 9 is a professional esports team that participates in League of Legends, Overwatch, Rocket League, CS:GO, Fortnite, and Smash.
Cloud 9 logo is inventive and creative. It combines two concepts into one design seamlessly. You can see the cloud and the 9 number in its design. And their colors speak of their symbols, which are associated with clouds. However, the brand name itself is not unique.
3. Natus Vincere
Natus Vincere is the Latin for “born to win.” It is often abbreviated as NAVI. Headquartered in Ukraine, they are best known for their results from The International 2011 to The International 2014.
Natus Vincere’s use of big bold letters to signify their name is very effective. It commands attention, especially it uses a powerful warm yellow color. Also, the combination of the two words using only the first two letters makes the wordmark stand out.
4. Evil Geniuses
Evil Geniuses, abbreviated as EG, is one of the oldest North American professional gaming organizations. EG is one of the most premier gaming organizations today.
The logo of Evil Geniuses is a well-crafted one. It is simple with its use of only one symbol. They not only combined two different letters but they also made both designs parallel and legible.
5. Odium
Odium is now a disbanded e-sports gaming team. But they still have the coolest-looking logo.
Odium uses an intricate symbol. The logo is unique. It doesn’t follow the industry standards of using animals and shapes. Instead, it uses a robot figure wearing some sort of a spacesuit. It’s as if it’s staring directly at the viewer.
6. Virtus Pro
Virtus.Pro, often abbreviated as VP, is a well-established Russian esports organization, mostly famous for its teams in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2.
Virtus Pro’s logo follows the e-gaming style of logos where it uses animals as symbols. In this case, Virtus Pro adopts an angry polar bear symbol. The color orange is a very good choice too. It’s not typical for e-game teams to use this color. It’s energetic and vibrant, perfect for competitive gamers.
7. Newbee
Newbee is headquartered in China. They hold the Guinness world record for the greatest prize money when they took $5 million in The International 2014.
Newbee’s logo uses cool tones such as black, blue, and white. The wordmark adopts a decorative font. The symbol of a warrior is perfect for a competitive team in the world of esports.
8. Gorilla Z Pride
Gorilla Z is a Dota 2 Team from Peru. They got 1st and 2nd places throughout the 2018 seasons.
Typical of this niche to use animal-inspired logos. Such is also the case with Gorilla Z. True to their name, they use a gorilla symbol atop their wordmark. The gorilla looks angry and is crushing the logo name. Gorilla Z is written in a creative sans serif font.
9. Houston Outlaws
Houston Outlaws have several symbols on their logos. All of them represent the State of Houston. Let’s break down the symbols. First, they use the bull because Houston is well-known for its cattle rearing. Next is the two-gun symbol. Houston allows most people to carry guns without a permit. Lastly, the star represents the star on the Houston flag.
The color green is rarely used in e-games. So it’s effective to have it placed in Houston Outlaw’s logo.
10. Fnatic
Fnatic is a professional esports organization that is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The team won the first League of Legends Championship and also won the most championships of the game.
The Fnatic logo is a very unique one. One good thing about its design is that it uses symmetrical symbols on both sides.
