Sun Wordmark Logo
The Connecticut Sun is one of the most successful franchises in the WNBA, having made it to the playoffs every year since its inception in 2003. As such, they have a long and storied history with their wordmark logo that has changed over time as they’ve evolved into one of the top teams in women’s basketball.
When first introduced for its inaugural season, The Connecticut Sun's original logo featured a bright yellow sunburst behind an orange “CT SUNS” lettering above a white silhouette of two hands holding up four fingers representing unity and strength. This design was slightly modified when it was updated for the 2004-2005 season adding light blue color to represent water while keeping the same font style used before.
In the 2006-2007 season, another change occurred where new colors were added including navy blue which replaced orange from the previous version but kept the overall look intact. Then again after a few years later (2008) another update happened to remove all other colors except navy blue & yellow with the addition of curved lines around the sunburst giving a more modern feel to the logo. Finally, the prior 2012 version saw some minor changes like the removal of curved lines along with a slight change in how hand silhouettes were placed inside the sunburst making them closer together than before.
Today, the current version features just two colors: Navy Blue & Yellow which are also the team's official ones, however, there is still the same concept being followed: A strong unified force represented by four fingers held up by two hands under glowing sunshine symbolizing optimism & hope associated with the CT Sun franchise.
