Getafe is located in Getafe, a city within the Community of Madrid. The club was initially founded in 1946 and then re-established in 1983. In 2004, it achieved promotion to La Liga for the first time, and it competed in the top tier of Spanish football for twelve years between 2004 and 2016, returning once again since 2017. Getafe maintains rivalries with neighboring teams such as Leganés, which is near Getafe, as well as Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid. Throughout its history, the renowned Spanish club has undergone several visual identity redesigns, with only two primary versions of its logo. The first version existed for just one year, while the current emblem, created in 1983, has been refined and modernized over time. The original design featured a bright blue circular badge with a wide red outline and a red middle. The central graphic element was a waving flag in the same blue shade, with a yellow handle and lettering. The flag displayed “F.C.” in an elegant, old-style font, while the main wordmark “Club Getafe Deportivo” appeared in bold modern sans-serif font on the right side of the circular frame, also in yellow with a delicate black outline. The 1983 redesign introduced the first version of the iconic Getafe logo. It featured the green and red crest of the city of Getafe in the Municipality of Madrid, enclosed within a broad light purple circular frame. At the top of the frame, a monochrome football was positioned like a crown. In 1996, the color palette became lighter, and the wordmark was altered to “Getafe C. F. S. A. D.” The football became more prominent in the composition.In 2003, the logo’s colors intensified, with a bright blue framing for the badge. The Getafe crest was enlarged, reducing the white space on the badge. The wordmark transitioned from black to white, enhancing the emblem’s brightness. The 2011 redesign added a touch of modernity and sophistication to the iconic logo. All elements of the badge received a subtle silver outline, and the framing now featured a gradient effect, imparting a sense of movement and depth. The wordmark was also redesigned in a narrower sans-serif font, giving it a solid and stylish appearance.
