<\/p>\nRedesigned Logos and Wordmarks Usher in Next Era of Mercury Basketball Ahead of Franchise\u2019s 30th Season<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
PHOENIX \u2013 The Phoenix Mercury today introduced a new modernized brand look with redesigned logos and wordmarks that celebrate the legacy of the past and embrace the future \u2013 ushering in the next era of Mercury basketball with the team\u2019s first-ever rebrand. To celebrate the launch, the Mercury will host a Merc Merch Swap, a first-of-its-kind community giveback initiative that offers fans an opportunity to trade in merchandise for a Mercury T-Shirt with the new logo.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new branding represents the Mercury\u2019s championship legacy, devoted fanbase and the new era that began with a record-breaking season and memorable Finals run,\u201d said Phoenix Mercury and Phoenix Suns Chief Executive Officer Josh Bartelstein. \u201cWhile our logos have been reimagined, the Mercury\u2019s identity remains the same \u2013 our organization\u2019s commitment to the community and the grit and joy of our team will continue to define Mercury basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n
The primary logo is an evolution of the iconic Mercury \u201cM,\u201d positioned at an angle of 19.97 degrees, a reference to the Mercury\u2019s inaugural season. The crescent shape echoes the shadowed side of planet Mercury and introduces a prominent splash of purple. The sharp right corner of the \u201cM\u201d serves as a nod to the original geometric rings, symbolizing an arrow to the future and forward momentum of the franchise.<\/p>\n
The global logo features the primary emblem at the center, with four rings positioned behind it, mirroring the planetary rings on the team\u2019s original design. The \u201cM\u201d divides the four rings into eight individual lines that symbolize the Mercury\u2019s status as one of the eight original WNBA franchises.<\/p>\n
For the first time ever, the Mercury has added a secondary logo. The mark features the outline of Arizona with seams of a basketball to celebrate the state as the epicenter of basketball and the team\u2019s dedicated fanbase. The logo also includes the official introduction of the popular \u201cMerc\u201d moniker into the branding, a nickname players and fans have long used to refer to the team. <\/p>\n
The Mercury\u2019s brand toolkit also consists of a revamped PHX alternate logo which was first introduced in 2021 on the Rebel uniform. The \u201cX\u201d highlighted in bright orange celebrates the X-Factor, the most avid fanbase in the WNBA whose nickname was coined by Cheryl Miller, the team\u2019s first head coach and general manager. The new wordmarks were created in an original and modern \u201cMighty Mercury\u201d typeface and feature a slightly curved baseline symbolizing the horizon on Planet Mercury.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image003.png\")
