Phoenix Suns logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG Phoenix Suns Logo PNG While the logo of the basketball team Phoenix Suns has gone through not less than four modifications, it has been consistent in its core visual metaphor: a basketball as the symbol of the sun.
- And only the first emblem, created for the Suns in 1968, is slightly different from the three following versions, but the style and idea are still the same.
- 1968 — 1992 The original Phoenix Suns emblem, designed in 1968, featured a solid red rectangular banner surrounded by the lettering from up and down.
- The upper line of the inscription was “Phoenix” with all letters but “N” capitalized, and the bottom line, “Suns”, was executed in a bold yet narrowed sans-serif, with its “N” also in the lowercase.
- The middle part of the badge featured a bright orange basketball in a white outline, with some triangular white elements contours out of it to the right, resembling the sun rays.
- 1992 — 2000 The redesign of 1992 switched the color palette of the logo to purple and orange, where orange had different gradient shades.
- Now the graphical part of the logo was bigger than the text one, which was now placed under the geometric badge with an orange basketball surrounded by thin long lines from the bottom and triangular elements from the top.
- The ball on the emblem got its black details emboldened, and started looking brighter and more confident.
- 2013 — Today The composition of the logo remained untouched, but the color palette was changed to black and orange in 2013.
- Now the orange basketball is placed on a black background, with the white lettering placed on the bottom part of the badge.
- The glyphs in both the words have unusual sharp elements resonating with the sun image as given in the emblem.
- Color The relatively bright colors, yellow (PMS 137) and orange (PMS 159 and PMS 1675), are balanced by black (PMS Black) and gray (PMS Cool Gray 5).
- The overall impression is rather dark.
- While the official palette also includes purple (PMS 275), the color cannot be seen anywhere in the primary Phoenix Suns logo.
