The Detroit Pistons logo had been redesigned by the team throughout the years. The team’s first logo was used by the team from the year 1979 up to 1996, and the design was a red ball enclosed in a blue circle. On the red ball, the name of the team was engraved. However, the team’s next logo was retained up to this present time after it was launched in the year 2001. The logo’s design includes a blue horse with red fired hair on top of the Pistons’ name.
