On the anniversary of the franchise's official move to its new home, Major League Soccer team Houston Dynamo unveiled a commemorative logo marking the club's 20th season in Texas.
On December 16, 2005, Houston officially welcomed the former San Jose quake to the city. On December 16, 2024, the club unveiled a new anniversary logo on its website and social media channels as it approaches its 20th MLS season in 2025.
The Season 20 logo is a celebration and testament to our energy and resilience and the city of Houston. Since 2005, our players, fans and community have nurtured a legacy built on passion and pride. This new logo represents our commitment to the future of the club. We're forever Orange, and we'll always stick with Houston.
The centerpiece of the Season 20 logo is the beveled number 20 in white and light blue in the middle of a circular shape, with the word “SEASONS” written underneath. Below that is a beveled star in white and blue, from which orange rays radiate.
Inspired by the heart of our original logo, the Starburst represents the energy our players bring to the field, combined with the unstoppable power of our fans. He is a symbol of strength — on the field and in our community.
A version of Dynamo's current hexagonal logo is located at the top of the black circle with light blue lines. Around the circle are 11 orange dots – five on either side of the crest and one at the bottom of the ornament – which the club says “represent the 11 players on the field, and a reminder of the strength in unity and group solidarity”. The strength of our team, and the unbreakable bond between our players and the city they represent.
There are two slogans written in white on the O-ring: “Hold it Down” and “Orange Forever”.
Monday's announcement did not specify how the logo would be used or whether it would appear anywhere on a Dynamo uniform in 2025. But the club has begun using it on its website and as a profile picture on its social media channels.
The Earthquakes' owners were given permission to move their franchise after the 2005 MLS season, and they quickly selected Houston. Originally, the team unveiled the name Houston 1836, which was meant to be a tribute to the city's founding. But it immediately drew criticism from the Latino community since it was also public Texas RevolutionWhich they felt should not be commemorated. The name was soon changed to Houston Dynamo.
The Dynamo enjoyed instant success in Houston, winning the MLS Cup in 2006 and 2007. He also won the US Open Cup in 2018 and 2023. In 2024, the Dynamo finished the regular season in fifth place in the Western Conference before losing to the Seattle Sounders. In the first round of the American League Cup qualifiers.
