One of the Women’s National Basketball Association‘s original franchises is streaking back into the league with the launch of the new logos they’ll use when they take the court next year.

The Houston Comets unveiled the logos during an event at POST Houston in the city’s downtown on Thursday, October 29, along with a color palette of red, navy blue and silver.

The primary icon features a navy blue H slanting upward with a red basketball comet streaking across to form the bridge. The four large stars within the H represent the four WNBA championships won by the previous incarnation of the Comets. Three of the stars are silver, while the sole white star represents the state of Texas — the “Lone Star State.” The whole logo has white and red outlines

The global icon, meanwhile, places the comet-H atop a red roundel with a white inline, which the team says is inspired by space mission patches. “HOUSTON” is written around the top half and “COMETS” around the bottom half.

The team also released two wordmarks on Thursday, one reading “HOUSTON” and one reading “COMETS,” and both with a basketball comet streaking into an O. Both also feature a lowercase T, which the team says “is a tie to the shared history of the Houston Rockets and the Houston Comets.” The typography is “cosmic-inspired” and reflects “a bold and modern identity embodying exploration, ambition and the drive to reach higher.”

The Comets returned to Houston in March 2026 when the Fertitta family, owners of the NBA’s Houston Rockets, purchased the Connecticut Sun and relocated them to the Toyota Center in Houston. The team stated their intent to revive the Comets name along with the relocation announcement, despite a trademark filing for the name by a company associated with rapper Travis Scott.

The original Houston Comets played in the WNBA from 1997 to 2008. The team won four straight WNBA championships from 1997 to 2000, but were disbanded in 2008 when owner Hilton Koch put the team up for sale and no investors stepped up to take over.

Jerseys were not unveiled alongside the logos on Thursday, but the team has given a small hint to what they’ll look like via their website. Users can choose one of two themes for the website: Heroine, with blue wordmark on a white background; and Explorer, with a white wordmark on a blue background. “Heroine” and “Explorer” are the nicknames Nike has given to the uniforms they supply each WNBA team.
