FK Baku's current logo is a popular maidens tower in Baku. The Maiden Tower, is a tower in Old City Baku, originally on the shore of the Caspian Sea. It was constructed in the 12th century, or possibly earlier - its architectural style and construction sequence is obscure, and estimates for its age go back to an unlikely 2,500 years. It was built by the 12th century architect Masud ibn Davud. Due to land reclamation in the early 20th century the tower is now separated from the Caspian by a busy main road and public gardens. The Tower is a noted landmark and one of Azerbaijan's most distinctive emblems. The logo of FK Baku perfectly describes that the team is from the capital of Azerbaijan.
