Jacksonville Suns Announce Changes to Logo

The Jacksonville Suns announced a number of changes to the previously released team logo.

After encountering © problems with the original logo and listening to the feedback of fans and team supporters, the Suns were prompted to make the modifications.

David Lee, Senior Art Director at The Robin Shepard Group, designed the new logo.

The main character in the logo was reworked to incorporate the fan friendliness the Suns strive to embody. Additionally, the city name was moved to be a part of the main body of the logo.

“I was honored that Mr. Bragan asked me to work on the new logo,” said Lee. “I hope what I've helped to create is a bold and dynamic logo that has the spirit of the Suns.”

“We are very pleased with the work that David did for us on this logo,” Suns General Manager Peter Bragan, Jr. said. “We would have preferred to avoid this situation, but the end result is something that we are excited about and we hope our fans will like it as well.”

The main uniform design for the Suns will remain the same but there will be a minor change to the team’s home cap.

Merchandise featuring the new logo will be available soon from the Suns and can be ordered by calling (904) 358-2846, online at www.jaxsuns.com, or by visiting the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville during the season.

The Suns play their first game at the new Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville at 7:35 p.m. Friday, April 11 against the Huntsville Stars. Season ticket plans and sponsorship packages are currently available. Contact the Suns for more information.
