A lighthouse situated on the Kadikoy cape was the main inspiration behind Fenerbahce Futbol Kulubu’s first emblem.  The design created in 1907 consisted of yellow and white daffodils surrounding the base of the lighthouse.  Incidentally the same colour combination was used on the jerseys for the first two years. 

 
In 1909 Fenerbahce Futbol Kulubu became Fenerbahce Spor Kulubu and the club colours were changed from yellow and white to yellow and navy.  The club badge was redesigned the following year by Topuz Hikmet who was also a player at the time.  His sketched artwork was sent on to Tevfik Haccar in London who finalised the end product in 1910.

Topuz Hikmet’s Fenerbahce emblem design consists of five colours namely white, red, yellow, navy and green.  Each of these colours symbolise different emotional connections he felt towards the club.  The white circular surround demonstrates purity and open heartedness.  The red part in the inner circle represents love and the Turkish flag.

The heart-shape located centrally consists of a yellow strip in the middle with a further two navy strips either side.  The colour yellow symbolises admiration and envy whilst navy is a show of nobility. 

The green acorn leaf which sits on top of the yellow and navy strips illustrates strength and the strive for success.

Topuz Hikmet describes the inspiration behind his emblem design as  follows:

After the new Turkish alphabet was introduced in the Mustafa Kemal Ataturk era the club name on the emblem was changed from arabic script to ‘Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü 1907’, but the design has remained the same.
