Amsterdamsche FC Ajax Logo

Amsterdamsche FC Ajax Logo Information and History

The Amsterdamsche FC Ajax logo features the Greek hero Ajax. It was first introduced in 1911. It uses a sans-serif font that has an under-estimated vertical stroke, which is characteristic of the Kurversbrug typeface. The lettering "AMSTERDAM" is surrounded by three gold-colored stars, which represent the many Dutch league titles the club has won.

The logo was first created in 1900 and has a simple look that is easy to recognize. The red and white stripes are a subtle representation of the team's colors, which include black and red. In addition, the Ajax player's name is included within the ring. The Ajax logo has been changed and updated several times since its creation. Its current logo is very similar to that of the Amsterdamsche FC Ajax, but incorporates several changes.

The Ajax logo has undergone three changes, all of which were aimed at simplifying the logo and highlighting the football club. The most recent redesign in 1990 removed the Greek hero from the Ajax logo, which depicted the hero in a more realistic marble style. The football player had been used as the club's logo before the Greek hero was introduced. However, Ajax's history goes much further back than that. The team played in De Meer stadium for many years before moving to the Amsterdam ArenA stadium.

The stadium has changed over time, but Ajax's name has remained the same. In the past, the team played in the De Meer Stadion, but the land was sold to the city council. The site is now occupied by a residential neighborhood. Ajax's name can still be found on the facade of their youth training grounds, De Toekomst, near the Johan Cruyff Arena.
