The iconic Barclays Premier League logo was introduced in 2007, with the lion – a symbol of the relationship between the top-flight and the English Football Association (FA) – being an ever-present figure since the league’s inception in 1992.
However, with the Premier League’s deal with the British bank coming to an end this year, they have opted against having a title sponsorship, thus leading to their decision to ditch their 9-year-old logo in favor of a new, refreshed look.
And we now have it, “the Premier League” – as it will be known from 2016/17 onwards –released their latest design in the launch. Check it out in the pictures below.

Speaking at the launch of the new logo, Premier League Managing Director Richard Masters said:
“From next season we will move away from title sponsorship and the competition will be known simply as the Premier League, a decision which provided the opportunity to consider how we wanted to present ourselves as an organisation and competition.
"The new visual identity is relevant, modern and flexible

"We are very pleased with the outcome: a visual identity which is relevant, modern and flexible that will help us celebrate everyone that makes the Premier League."
Barclays have been the English top-flight’s lead sponsors since 2001, having replaced former 8-year lead sponsor Carling.
The current Barclays Premier League logo was re-designed and introduced in 2007
Beginning from the upcoming 2016/17 campaign, the Premier League will have 7 major sponsors, two of which will be Nike and EA Sports, whilst the remaining 5 will be announced in the coming months.
