Team Liquid Unveils 25th Anniversary Emblem: A Tribute to Their Legendary Journey

If you have even a slight interest in esports, you've likely heard of Team Liquid, a powerhouse organization that has been among the best for many years. The organization is represented by players in 15 different disciplines, including Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2, where they achieve most of their victories.

On Jan 8, 2025, Team Liquid greeted their fans with a New Year message on their official website and presented a gift that could also be considered a gift to themselves. They unveiled a brand-new club emblem dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the organization.

The team also shared the story behind the emblem’s creation, explaining how it was conceived and the meaning behind its colors and symbolism:

“The 25th Anniversary Emblem was inspired by the medieval crests of old. The design is rooted in the medieval, in the fantasy genre, because these are the roots that we grew out of. For years our co-founder, Victor Goossens, was better-known as ‘Nazgul’ — a name taken from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Our Six Mane Shield logo came from Tolkien too, stemming from the old banner image on TL.net.

At the heart of the emblem are three key elements:

• The Horse: As the centerpiece of our design, we’ve reinterpreted Team Liquid's horse as a heraldic figure.
• The Shield: This is the outline and shape of our emblem. The shield stands for unity and resilience — the values that have guided us through 25 years of growth and success.
• The Decorative Header: Bringing in the “25,” the header clearly marks our quarter-century milestone and celebrates the achievements that brought us here.”

The organization also clarified:

“Crucially, this is not a rebrand. You’ll be seeing the emblem frequently throughout 2025 as it appears on jerseys, campaigns, and celebrations, but it’s not replacing our current logo in the long term. Nor will it replace our logo on broadcasts!”
