===Logo===
The shape of the Panthers logo was designed to mimic the outline of both North Carolina and South Carolina.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thestate.com/news/local/article58739358.html |title=Are the Panthers South Carolina's team? |work=[[The State (newspaper)|The State]] |author=Breiner, Ben |date=February 5, 2016 |access-date=October 12, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013074648/http://www.thestate.com/news/local/article58739358.html |archive-date=October 13, 2016 |url-status=live  }}</ref> The Panthers changed their logo and logotype in 2012, the first such change in team history. According to the team, the changes were designed to give their logo an "aggressive, contemporary look" as well as to give it a more three-dimensional feel.<ref name="Panthers introduce refined logo">{{cite news|title=Panthers introduce refined logo|url=https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-introduce-refined-logo-6879729|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=Panthers.com|date=January 29, 2012|access-date=September 24, 2020|archive-date=November 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201127134718/https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-introduce-refined-logo-6879729|url-status=live}}</ref> The primary tweaks were made in the eye and mouth, where the features, particularly the muscular brow and fangs, are more pronounced, creating a more menacing look. The revised logo has a darker shade of blue over the black logo, compared to the old design, which had a shade similar to teal on top of black.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/7517666/carolina-panthers-change-team-logo-first-time |title=Carolina Panthers change logo for the first time |work=ESPN |date=January 30, 2012 |access-date=October 12, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013074759/http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/7517666/carolina-panthers-change-team-logo-first-time |archive-date=October 13, 2016 |url-status=live  }}</ref>
