faravahar
the first design of persepolis' crest used the faravahar, an ancient persian and zoroastrian symbol. the faravahar is a man with falcon wings, each with three feathers. this version of the crest used in early years. after that there was not a crest on the shirt until the 1980s. in the middle of the 1980s the design of the crest changed. this version had two bull heads attached to one body as seen on a column at apadana. a cup is designed on the top of the body and olympic rings are seen under the cup. the bull is the symbol of productivity in ancient persian beliefs and persian literature and the cup on the top of the column represents the championship. in the mid 1990s the crest changed again and became more stylized; the crest became bent and the olympic rings were dropped, the cup became more explicit while bull heads leaned to the cup. this version used until 2004; the following crest was simpler still. the olympic rings returned to the crest and the bull of past versions was turned into homa, another mythological creature and symbol used in the architecture of persepolis. in 2012, during 2011–2012 season, and before 74th tehran derby, club released a new version of its logo this current version of the club's logo incorporates the previous version into a whole red shield shaped frame entailing the name of persepolis in persian and english.
