The importance of any logo is impossible to overstate, but sports teams’ logos are in a league of their own. Just think of all the places they appear: the players’ uniforms, memorabilia sold to fans, the team’s home stadium, live on air during televised matches, and so on. A company getting a bad logo is always an unfortunate event at the very least, but a sports team getting a bad logo is nothing short of a catastrophe. This does not stop teams from occasionally ending up with some real stinkers.

This week, Dallas Fort Worth airport launched a new logo – the first major redesign of its branding for 14 years.

DFW has grown from a small domestic airport to an international travel hub with millions of passengers passing through each year – the ninth busiest airport in the world. “We needed to evolve our brand to be more modern, memorable, unique and – critically – global,” said airport chief executive Sean Donohue, during the launch event.
