Minnesota Wild

The State of Hockey

Research, Identity, Brand Guidelines

To enliven their unique nickname and introduce the newest NHL franchise to the league, the Minnesota Wild needed a brand identity system that stood out and invigorated a hungry fan base ahead of the team’s inaugural season in 2000.

“SME created a new identity for our new franchise that captured the spirit of our hockey-loving fans and our rugged, outdoor, Minnesota lifestyle. Our visual identity remains one of the finest in all of sports.”

— Bob Naegele, Owner, Minnesota Wild

The identity needed to capture the wilderness and outdoor theme expressed by the “Wild” name, while paying tribute to Minnesota’s longstanding love of hockey. The “eye” of the “Wild Animal” is the north star, in tribute to the departed Minnesota North Stars.
