The Super Bowl logos are iconic, dating back to when the game was just getting started. Here are the top 30 ever created, starting with a classic contest.

30. Super Bowl III

There are reasons to both love and hate the logo for Super Bowl III. The colors, font, and simple prominence are worthy of being a top-10 logo. It’s so simple, it’s good. The designer was able to represent both the NFC and AFC with the colors, and created a good balance between the two. However, the excessive amount of stars ultimately ruins it for viewers.

Had the stars been on the outside of the letters the image might have looked much better, but ultimately they are too much in too little space. While it was the first championship game to bear the name Super Bowl, the logo doesn’t do the game justice.

29. Super Bowl XXIV

Simple red, white, and blue carries the Super Bowl XXIV logo into the top-30 rankings. Before the intricate designs appeared on Super Bowl logos, the NFL went with some well rounded features for the big game. The roman numerals are large and prominent in the middle, and almost look like they’re on a ticket. The words Super Bowl are hardly hidden as they wrap around the corners on a ribbon. It’s simple, yet gets the job done. You can not ask for much else in this type of design.
