124 Years of Bavarian Football Identity
FC Bayern München was founded in 1900 in Schwabing, Munich—an origin still visible in the club's earliest monograms and letterforms. This poster traces that first identity language through Kurt Landauer's presidency, the turbulence of mid-century Europe, and the gradual evolution toward a circular badge system built for global recognition.
The iconic blue-and-white diamonds—derived from the Wittelsbach coat of arms—became inseparable from Bayern's crest in 1954. Every refinement since reflects the club's Mia San Mia philosophy: disciplined, confident, unmistakably Bavarian.
Hand-restored for collectors
Every badge in this timeline was digitally restored to preserve the fine details that don't survive low-res reproductions. From the 1900 Art Deco monograms to the 2017 refinement, each mark is rendered at print-ready fidelity. For the full history—see the reference section below.The Monogram Era
Intricate Art Deco initials defined the early 1900s before the shift to a circular silhouette.
Bavarian Diamonds
The Wittelsbach coat of arms diamonds were permanently integrated into the crest in 1954.

The Story of the Bayern Munich Logo: A Collector's Reference
Bayern poster: A visual history of FC Bayern München logo evolution
Kurt Landauer & the Survival of a Badge
Under the legacy of president Kurt Landauer, Bayern's identity matured alongside the club's culture. Through the turbulence of the 1930s–40s, the club's visual system endured—then returned with renewed clarity as Bayern rebuilt and reasserted its presence in German football.
Diamonds (Rauten), "FCB", and Lettering Shifts
The iconic blue-and-white diamonds—derived from the Wittelsbach coat of arms—became inseparable from Bayern's crest language, and were permanently integrated into the badge in 1954. Across decades, the "FCB" lettering and surrounding typography shifted in weight, spacing, and proportion—small refinements that signal bigger changes in era, ambition, and reproduction constraints.
2017 Refinement for High-Fidelity Print & Digital
The 2017 refinement optimized the crest for high-fidelity digital and print displays—tightening geometry and improving color behavior so reds, blues, and whites render cleanly across screens, embroidery, and paper.
