A stylized “D” that mirrors a duck’s footprint anchors the new logo, with a classic color palette of black and metallic gold, with an accent of orange as a metaphorical link to the team’s Orange County home. The new image and design came from creative collaboration and opinions of fans, Duck players, ownership and management.
