In 2003, however, things changed when Nike took over designing duties for all WNBA teams; including those of The Phoenix Mercury. Their updated version still retained elements from before but added more curvature around edges while making sure everything remained balanced within itself (i..e not too busy). Additionally, colors were shifted slightly so that purple became dominant instead - emphasizing power rather than energy/activity like before!

Finally, after another decade went by without any major modifications being made; we now have what can arguably be seen as The Phoenix Mercury's definitive branding: A blazing sun surrounded by flames atop vibrant purple background with white accents throughout providing contrast against darker tones below them – truly capturing essence behind this historic franchise perfectly while also maintaining modern sensibilities required nowadays due make mark amongst competition out there today!
