35 Impressive Logos For Your Wrestling Team

(Updated July 2, 2020)

Wrestling is both art and entertainment. It combines theatrical performance and athletics. The popular sport is also performed in the Olympics where it is supervised under the United World Wrestling. There are several types of wrestling which include sumo wrestling, amateur wrestling, and professional wrestling.

If you are opening a training center, forming a club or a team, a professional wrestling logo will give your organization a boost of confidence. With a refined branding strategy, you can catch the attention of fans and potential sponsors’ attention.

These insignias can vary in style and aesthetics depending on use. They could be fun, quirky, and colorful like the sumo symbols or they could be dark and brooding such as the logo designs for masks and tournaments. 

You will discover different design options for you as you scroll through this roundup of jaw-dropping logos.

Take a look at these cool and athletic designs:

Clubs

Designing the perfect logo for your club is your way to forge connections. A lot of consumers look for brands they feel an emotional connection to. When making your logo, use design elements that will resonate with them. Whether it is through color or drawings depicting a triumphant wrestler.

Team logos often feature wrestlers screaming, fighting, or engaging in physical activity. Some could be just the outline of a wrestler in their wrestling stance. You can do this for your logo, too. To switch things up, you can use shadows or silhouettes of wrestlers to create a dramatic concept.

Others would have animals, such as cobras and rams, in the logo. This is also a common practice in other sports like football, basketball, and more. Creatures bring a huge array of personality to a design. For example, you can portray your fierce and dominant team with a venomous creature like cobras.

Tournaments

A lot of fighters and teams go head to head with each other through tournaments. Associations organize these competitions to test the strength of each wrestler. These tournaments brand themselves properly to gain credibility as well. 

The texts on tournament logos are slightly bigger and with more emphasis compared to the texts on other logos. These logos sometimes feature people in wrestling action. Some would have fierce animals instead.

 

Schools, Gyms, and Organizations

Similar to tournament logos, the texts play a big role in the design. They shine alongside images related to wrestling such as men in action or representative animals of the organization.

Sumo Sport

Sumo wrestling logos are unique. These designs often feature illustrations of rikishi or wrestlers wearing a loincloth or mawashi in Japanese. A sumo wrestler is represented in various combat positions and appearances, and in a variety of colors. Some appear to be charging at their opponents or stomping to create an air of intimidation.

 

Illustration logos aren’t your only option. You can also use creative typography that carries references to the sport. This is a good way for you to retain the simplicity of your design. 

Masks

Much of these wrestling mask logos are quite dark with the color choices. There are some mask figures that look menacing with the way they are designed: brooding and competitive. Some take inspiration from Mexican wrestling masks, adding details to make it fresh

Wrestling masks are a mainstay in the industry. These are used as props to build characters and gimmicks. The use of these props dates back to the 1800s. 

There is also a well-known event in Mexico called Lucha Libre. This is where wrestlers bet their intricately designed masks for the ultimate victory. Contestants that lose is the Lucha Libre also need to reveal their identity and risk having their hair shaved off as part of the event’s gamble. 

You will notice the colorful and vivid trims of these masks which are called antifaz. Some masks also have different patterns that create an eye-catching effect. Adding these elements to your logo can result in a striking symbol for your brand.
