A look into the history of the Minnesota Wild's iconic logo

The Minnesota Wild's logo has remained unchanged since the team's inception in the league in 2000. The only thing that changed in their logo was the removal of the "Minnesota" lettering in 2013.

The Wild logo has the appearance of an optical illusion that depicts it's various functions. The team's logo, as the name implies, is a "Wild animal," depicting a forest landscape inside an animal head with a stream at dusk.

The logo is made up of small details that have a deeper meaning. The logo is based on a forest landscape with pine trees a stream at dusk and a star in the sky. Deeper into the logo, the North Star is represented by the stylized eye of the animal depicted inside the silhouette of the animal head, which in turn is depicted in the emblem.

When looking at the logo carefully, the Minnesota Wild's logo represents an optical illusion of a wild animal in addition to the landscape and the star. Most hockey fans claim it is a wild cat or a bear, however, the club has not revealed any further details about it.

The North Star in the logo is also reported to convey an homage to both the departure of the region's NHL team, the Minnesota North Star departure as well as the state's motto L'Etoile du Nord, which means "The Star of the North."

The Minnesota Wild was founded on June 25, 1997, and currently competes in the Central Division of the NHL Western Conference. They play their home games at the Xcel City Center.

They are the first NHL franchise based in the region of Minnesota since the Minnesota North Stars were relocated to Dallas in 1993.
