Logo history

With the group name being Bangtan Sonyeondan, the bulletproof vest was the perfect option. However, the logo itself is a bit clunky. While the designer tried to make the bulletproof vest accurate with plenty of details, it distracts from the rest of the logo. The lighting bolts on the sides are also a nice touch, but redundant as the firepower of the bulletproof vest speaks volumes. When showcasing the logo, BTS tends to be in white or silver, while the vest itself is black. On black backgrounds, the colors would reverse, with BTS being in black and the vest in silver.

The current logo features two pairs of trapezoids, one atop the other. The trapezoids represent half-open doors from the inside and outside and look like mirror images of each other.

Meaning: “ARMY meeting BTS at the doors.” According to the group’s official Twitter account, the logo conveys “us and army becoming one together.”
