WWE have had quite a few logo changes over the years, most notably when they changed from WWF to WWE... but there were quite a lot of WWF logos so I thought let's take a look at the history of the WWE logo and you can all say which is you'r favourite one.

The Original WWF Logo
Starting in 1979 the original logo was just the letters and a globe.

The Classic WWF Logo
In 1982 they had their first logo change and it's one that many older wrestling fans will recognise... or even newer fans who enjoy watching some historic matches. The classic WWF logo featured two W’s on top of each other with two lines on the right-hand side forming the F - the basic foundation of which continues to this day.

The New Generation
The classic WWF logo lasted for over 10 years with the next change coming in 1994 after a mass exodus of talent thanks to drug scandals and WCW buyouts. WWF tried to rebrand themselves as a younger company more focused on fresh talent. They ended up with a more cartoony logo.

The Attitude Era Scratch Logo
Three years later in 1997 we got the first iteration of the iconic scratch logo. The new logo design originally was placed on top of the old new-gen design as the company gradually changed into its new direction.

Eventually the original backing logo faded away completely leaving only the scratch and the scar to remain (yes, that red line underneath is meant to represent a scar according to Bruce Pritchard).

"Get The F Out!" – The first WWE logo
We all know the story. in 2002 WWF lost their court case against WWF. Wrestling vs a panda. The panda won. WWF, the wrestling one, decided to keep their much loved logo and simply cut off the F instead of making it an E.

The Network Era – The current WWE logo
The current logo debuted in 2012 for the announced WWE Network and when the service launched in February 2014, it took its place as the company banner. It's caused some problems with fans who can't deal with the the red underline that goes behind the W missing a chunk. Some people might not have noticed it, but you will now.

I cannot remember the new generation logo at all.

The attitude era scratch logo is still the best. I liked that they kept that look when they changed from WWF to WWE, even if a new logo would have made sense.

For some reason I'd never noticed about the red line missing a bit in the new logo. Fucks sake it's all I can see now when I look at it.

Yeah, I'm with Ninjak, the scratch logo is the best, simple and iconic. To be fair, much like the classic logo which comes in a close second for me. And yeah, thanks Ben for triggering me and everyone else regarding the new logo!

Get the F out logo will always be “my” WWE logo.
