The Browns unveiled their new logo on Monday, which was created by Houston Mark and voted on by the fans.
While the logo looks like just a dog, there’s a lot “more than meets the eye.” Mark included various hidden images in the logo to represent the Browns’ fanbase and the team’s history.
In a breakdown of the logo, there is an outline of Ohio in the dog’s ear, a football for its nose, the east end zone and a guitar pick (paying homage to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) in the dog’s collar, spikes for the team’s “intensity,” Cleveland’s Hope Memorial Bridge below the jowls, the team’s iconic pound helmet as one of the dog’s eyebrow and the helmet stripe sketched between the dog’s eyebrows.

This logo is sweet I can't lie. The meaning and small details are a really cool concept we don't see often.

Designer must be a DAWG too.#DawgPound https://t.co/FgQmyEI1XV
Quite like all these hidden details in the team logo. Makes a plain W logo feel a bit simple https://t.co/wFrWUnZeam
