the team to Dinamo Sofia. The new logo was an irregular hexagon with the handwritten letter D on red, yellow, blue and white. In 1957 Levski succeeded in getting rid of the horrible Soviet-style name and red star logo - the original name and logo were restored and Levski became a symbol of resistence against the communist rulers.
In 1968 Levski was forced by a decision of the Politburo in a union with Spartak Sofia. The logo was a shield in white and blue with a red horizontal stripe and carrying the letters Λ (L) and С (S). In 1985 the Politburo tried to destroy Levski altogether. The club was temporarily closed, then reopened as FC Vitosha - the logo was a capital B (V) in blue with a football ball inside of it. It should be noted that despite all those changes in name and logo, blue has always been the colour of anti-communist resistence and the name of the club has always been Levski for its supporters...
After the fall of communism, Levski reclaimed its true name and logo. In the two top corners of the emblem, are the letters Ф (Football) and К (Club), below you can read София (Sofia). However in 1998, for legal reasons, Levski had to adopt a temporary logo - a blue shield with the letter Λ (L). The copyright issue being resolved in the team's favour in 2006, Levski is once more able to use its true logo.
