Page "Sheffield Wednesday F.C." Paragraph 38

The new crest reverted to a similar design to the original crest.

It again featured a traditionally drawn owl perched on a branch although the design of both had changed.

The sheaves were replaced by a stylised SWFC logo that had been in use on club merchandise for several years prior to the introduction of the new crest.

The Yorkshire Rose was moved to above the owl's head to make way for the words Sheffield Wednesday.

The word Hillsborough was also curved around the top of the design.

The club motto was absent on the new design.

The crest was encased in a new shape of shield.

This crest remained in use for only a few years, during which several versions were used with different colouration including a white crest with blue stripes down either side and the colouring of the detail inverted.

Most recently the shield shape has remained but the detailed owl logo has been replaced, yet again, by the minimalist version, echoing the badge's course of history in the 1970s.

The most recent change was the addition of a copyright symbol in 2002.
