Bhubaneswar: The latest addition to the Indian Super League, Odisha FC on Sunday unveiled its official logo.

The club came into existence after an MoU was signed between Delhi Soccer Private Limited and the Government of Odisha, last month.

The Odisha FC logo embodies the heritage and the culture of the state of Odisha and the vision and the ideology of its parent company, GMS.

The chakra in the logo gets its origin from the famous Konark Temple in the state. The temple is designed in the form of a chariot and these 24 chakras are the wheels of it.

Its position in the logo represents movement and development. The club always strives for excellence, and believes in youth power and thus the wheel of time sits at the crest of the logo.

The ship is a representation of GMS, the parent company of the club. GMSis world’s largest buyer of ships and offshore assets.

Delighted to share the logo of the state's #HeroISL club @Odisha_FC which pays a heartfelt tribute to #Odisha's rich cultural heritage. The club motto of #AmaTeamAmaGame is again a proud reminder of the state's rich sporting culture. Wish the team all success. https://t.co/gwvHiMQ8EN
