The UFC unveiled a new logo that will be used throughout 2018, which commemorates the organization’s 25th year of promoting MMA fights.
The logo will be in use beginning with the new year, including UFC Fight Night 124. The event kicks off the UFC’s 2018 campaign and features a Jeremy Stephens vs. Dooho Choi in St. Louis.
Here’s a description of the logo from the UFC:
“The logo, designed in conjunction with Droga5, ‘Cannes Lions Independent Agency of the Year’, combines the silver anniversary with UFC’s world-famous Octagon, the organization’s iconic symbol that debuted at UFC 1: THE BEGINNING, which took place on Friday, November 12, 1993 in Denver, Colorado.”
“What started as an idea in 1993 to put on the best fights with the best fighters in the world has changed the face of sports,” UFC President Dana White stated in a release. “I heard the word ‘no’ over and over and we faced a ton of challenges, but UFC bounced back each time, bigger and better, to build legends and superstars, while creating some of the most memorable events in the history of sports. The first 25 years have been amazing and we’re just getting started.”
