Kings Unveil 50th Anniversary Logo

The Los Angeles Kings on Feb. 9 unveiled their 50th Anniversary logo.

The logo helps the Kings celebrate the club’s official birth as the National Hockey League – 50 years ago on Feb. 9 – officially granted the Los Angeles Kings franchise.

“We wanted to pay homage to our past and our heritage with the use of the original Kings crown, but at the same time celebrating the importance that our current logo means to our franchise and fans,” Jonathan Lowe, Kings Senior Vice President of Marketing, said.  “The gold tone is of course the traditional way to celebrate a 50th Anniversary and we hope our fans love the logo as much as we do and we are going to be rolling out a number of exciting usages around the logo.”
