Throughout its proud history Arsenal FC had had a number of logos on its famous red shirts. The current one was introduced in 2002 and showcases a simplified cannon that is sitting on a shield and pointed east. Its colours take the form of a red centre with dark blue edges and a gold outline. The font is believed to be Clearface Gothic Roman which was designed in 1984 by Morris Fuller Benton. This is a humanist sans serif font, although it does appear to have some modifications on it. The font is used for all shirt names, numbers, lettering, the logo and on all branding, and merchandise.
