V-League 1

V-League 1 is the top-flight professional football league in Vietnam, which, along with its second division V-League 2, has been organized by Vietnam Professional Football since 2012. While many football leagues there predate the V-League 1 to 1980 when the A1 National League was formed, this is the first to be professional.

This logo was used in the inaugural season (2000–2001) as well as the season after (2001–2002). Both seasons are the only time the league played in an inter-year season until 2023-24. Strata was a sports jersey distributor providing all teams with Adidas kits.

The 2012 season was the first to be organized by the Vietnam Professional Football JSC. However, on 7 February of that year, the VFF requested to keep the V-League name but was agreed with the VPF to start the season under the name "Super League", which, along with "Premier League", is a popular name amongst top-flight football leagues around the world that are separate from their respective country's national association, though technically VFF has a majority stake on the VPF. This became short-lived as no less than half a month later, the "V-League" name was reverted.

After the V-League name was reverted, this is the last season where there is one top-division league named "V-League"

====2013====
Starting from the 2013 season, VPF owned the country's "First Division" which is the second tier of Vietnamese football. As a result, both top-tier leagues were changed to V-League 1 and V-League 2, all sponsored by Eximbank. The logo was updated not only to include the new name but also its full name "National Football Championship".

For the first time, VPF's official logo was used, which remains to this day.
====2016====
====2017====
===Nuti Cafe V-League (Nutifood)===
====2018====
For the first time, the V-League generic logo was introduced. Until then sponsors can make the logo for the league whatever they want, but from now on, the logo will be the same every year, with a change in the container, color, year, and title sponsor.
The logo in particular takes inspiration from the Lạc Bird (the country's national mythical bird), the letter V (stands for not only Vietnam but Victory), a heartbeat graph, and the connection between the north, central, and south regions. It was criticized for being looked more like a W than a V and resembles one part of Tran Anh Tu's signature, who was VPF's president at the time. The VPF logo was on the logo's tail, which made it look ls if the bird had made a scorpion kick.

====2020====
====2021====
"Shine together" was the league's slogan for the first time since 2011. The 2021 season was abandoned for obvious reasons, though the previous year was completed at the pandemic's peak.
===Night Wolf V-League 1 (Ngoc Linh Ginseng)===
====2022====
Despite the logo for Ngoc Linh Ginseng appeared in the logo, the title sponsor was Night Wolf, an energy drink brand owned by that company.
====2023====
The 2023 season was the last to be held in an infra-year season in a reduced schedule similar to the 2020 season impacted by the pandemic.
