Dinamo Zagreb’s badge is a circular crest split between two core visual ideas: the red-and-white checkerboard pattern of Croatia on the left, and a deep blue field with a large white lowercase “d” on the right. A gold outline frames the entire roundel and separates the geometric sections inside the logo.
The red-and-white checks are the most direct national reference in the badge, linking the club to Croatian identity through the country’s famous checkerboard motif. The blue half of the badge reflects Dinamo’s traditional colour and the club’s long-standing nickname, “Modri” or “The Blues.”
The white “d” is the main club-specific symbol. Its rounded, modern shape gives the badge a simple and instantly recognizable mark, while the diagonal division between the checkerboard and the blue field creates movement across the circular design.
Historically, Dinamo traces its roots to Građanski Zagreb, founded in 1911, before the club was transformed and renamed Dinamo after the Second World War. The club’s official timeline presents 26 April 1911 as its foundation date under the Građanski name, with the later Dinamo identity carrying that Zagreb football heritage forward.
