About Major League Baseball

A horizontally oriented rounded-rectangle field split into two colored panels: dark navy blue on the left and red on the right. A white, negative-space silhouette of a right-handed baseball batter (helmeted) occupies the center, with a diagonal bat extending into the red panel and a small white circle representing a baseball to the left of the batter.

Beneath the rectangle is a bold, all-caps red wordmark reading "MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL." The artwork is flat, high-contrast, and uses negative space to define the player figure against the colored background.

Major League Baseball Logo History

The stylized batter silhouette logo was created for Major League Baseball in the late 1960s by designer Jerry Dior and adopted as the league's primary insignia around 1969. It has been used continuously as MLB's primary mark since that adoption, with variations and updates for special uses.
