About Golden State Warriors
Professional basketball team
The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team based in San Francisco. They compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference.
The team was founded in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors, a charter member of the Basketball Association of America. It moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1962 and adopted the Golden State name before the 1971–72 season, to suggest that it represented all of California.
The Warriors played in Oakland from 1971 to 2019 and have played their home games at Chase Center in San Francisco since 2019.
The franchise won the 1947 BAA championship and NBA championships in 1956, 1975, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022.

Design context
Logo design & typography notes
The “The City” uniforms of the late 1960s showed a silhouette of the Golden Gate Bridge inside a circle; the logo introduced in 2010 revived that concept with the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge instead.
From the researched record (AI-assisted source review); see research sources.
Researched typography noteUntil 2019 the lettering in the primary logo was set in Copperplate. The 2019 update replaced it with a custom font that is also used in the team’s wordmark.
