Suns Primary Logo

The Phoenix Suns' primary logo has gone through several iterations over the years, reflecting changes in the team's identity and branding. The first iteration of their logo was created in 1968 when they joined the NBA as an expansion team. This original design featured a yellow basketball with a purple sunburst behind it, both set against an orange background. It was used by the Suns until 1992 when they unveiled their new look which featured a black and white cartoon-style sun wearing sunglasses with its tongue sticking out to one side.

This version of their logo lasted for nearly two decades before being replaced by an updated version in 2013 that had more modern styling while still maintaining elements from previous designs such as its color scheme and stylized sun figure at its center. This latest incarnation is also notable for being much simpler than previous versions; featuring only three colors (orange, purple & white) compared to four or five previously used on earlier logos. Additionally, this current primary mark does not feature any text or words associated with it unlike prior marks which included “SUNS” written across them prominently

Overall, despite some subtle changes throughout history – most notably between 1992-2013 – Phoenix Suns' primary logos have remained fairly consistent since joining NBA back in 1968; keeping true to classic aspects like color combinations & stylized imagery while evolving just enough over time to stay relevant within today's ever-changing sports landscape
