Meaning and History

In 2001 the logo was redesigned again. The lines and letters on the red shield are now colored gold. All the elements are enlarged — the gold cannon, green and red crest and the gothic lettering on the top. As for the “Victoria Concordia Crescit” inscription on the ribbon under the shield, it also gained a more modern look and is now written in a bold sans-serif, using red capital letters. 2002 – Today So, then I said to Ashley Cole ‘when the referee blows the whistle, now we’re going to celebrate, because we wanted to be humble about it at the beginning of the game, but you’re going to celebrate a draw, really, at your place when we need a point to win the league.” In 1949, the so-called Victoria Concordia Crescit logo made its debut. It featured the narrow cannon inside a shield shape with the lettering “Victoria Concordia Crescit” beneath. The words were Marksman’s motto that impressed the players so much that they decided to make it a part of the club’s identity. The logo also included the word “Arsenal” in an intricate gothic font. The smaller shield that could be seen under the cannon comprised the coat of arms of the Borough of Islington. The new crest will be unveiled to supporters at Saturday's Premiership game against Southampton at Highbury.

The summer came and went, and the team regrouped to target a new record: Nottingham Forest’s 42 game unbeaten run, the longest run without defeat in English football.
