NFC – National Football Conference Logo Files

National Football Conference (NFC) is one of the two conferences of the National Football League (NFL), representing the top level of professional American football in the United States.

Created in 1970 as part of the NFL – AFL merger, the NFC consists of 16 teams organized into four divisions. The conference is a central part of the NFL’s competitive structure and postseason pathway to the Super Bowl. The NFC’s branding and logo are closely associated with conference championships and elite American football competition.

National Football Conference (NFC) Logo

The original NFC logo, used from 1970 to 2009, featured a blue letter “N” accented by three stars. Similar to the AFC logo—and unlike the primary National Football League (NFL) shield—the design relied on a single initial rather than a full abbreviation. The three stars symbolized the NFC’s original divisional structure, which consisted of the Eastern, Central, and Western divisions from 1970 through 2001.

For the 2010 NFL season, the NFC introduced an updated logo that largely preserved the original design. The most notable change was the addition of a fourth star, representing the four divisions that have made up the conference since the 2002 realignment. The American Football Conference (AFC) logo was updated at the same time in a similar fashion, reinforcing visual consistency between the two conferences.
