Logo and Mascot
As Wellington FC, the logo of the club was a generic crest with the letters WFC (an abbreviation of Wellington Football Club) and the team was known as the warriors back then. R.Vengadasalam, who managed the club both before and after its induction in the S-League, recalls that the Wellington FC logo was designed by Nadahrajah, a former player of Wellington FC and his personal friend.
When it was inducted into the S.League, then-CEO Douglas Moore required all the eight founding teams to come up with their own mascot. Since SAFFC had chosen the "Warriors" nickname ahead of Woodlands, team manager R.Vengadasalam decided to pick the Ram as a mascot as he was and still remains a loyal Derby County fan up till today.
The first Woodlands Wellington logo consisted of a Ram in mid-leap and was used from 1996 to 2002 and was replaced by the current logo from 2002 onwards.
