Torpedo Century. The club's anniversary identity.
Torpedo Football Club was founded in 1924. One hundred years of the club’s history are firmly connected with the stages of football development in the country. “Avtozavodtsy” (car manufacturers) and their achievements have become not only an athletic, but also a social-cultural phenomenon. Throughout its history, the team performed in kits with more than a dozen different logos, but the emblem with the letter “T”, the gear-wheel and the outlines of a racing car became canonical. The authors of this sign were speed skater and sports official Yakov Melnikov and football player Vyacheslav Orlov.
The Gear-wheel logo
The key elements of the logo — the gear and the silhouette of the car — have been graphically adjusted. As the main part of the mechanical transmission, the 32-gear wheel must be geometrically aligned. The studio paid special attention to these details: the angles of the teeth are multiples of the angles of the octagon. Now the gear is based on balance and dimensional logic. The dimensions of the car and the letters are adjusted strictly in the center of the gear.

The logo follows the heraldic tradition, where the coat of arms “faces” back: In the Middle Ages, coats of arms were applied to shields, which right-handed warriors held in their left hands, pointing the image towards the enemy.
