| rdfs:comment | - The club has had few official logos throughout their history. The first was introduced in the early 1940s with a bear running with a football. The next logo featured a navy blue bear on top of a football. The team kept this until 1962, when the Bears trademark 'C' logo was first introduced by the team.

| abstract | - The club has had few official logos throughout their history. The first was introduced in the early 1940s with a bear running with a football. The next logo featured a navy blue bear on top of a football. The team kept this until 1962, when the Bears trademark 'C' logo was first introduced by the team. The change in their logo from the black bear was due to the addition of logos on helmets, which pro football teams started adding in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Unlike some NFL franchises that have had many different looks over time, the Bears have kept the wishbone 'C' for over 40 years. The Bears 'C' logo first appeared on the helmets in 1962. (The "C" is in the same font as the "C" long worn on the Cincinnati Reds' baseball caps, as well as loosely resembling the University of Chicago Maroons logo). The logo changed from white to a white-bordered orange logo eleven years later, and has remained unchanged ever since. In 1974, the team decided to keep the same white 'C' logo but to change the color of it from white to orange with a white trim. This is the current logo to this date; however, the club has experimented with some alternative logos throughout the past decade, including a navy blue bear inside of the orange wishbone 'C', introduced in 1995, and an orange bear head, introduced in 1999.
