About NBA - National Basketball Association

A tall, vertically oriented rounded rectangle divided vertically into two equal panels: the left panel is deep blue and the right panel is bright red. Centered over the split is a solid black silhouette of a dribbling basketball player in profile, with the figure spanning most of the panel height.

Near the bottom of the rectangle is a bold block wordmark reading "NBA" in black. The overall mark is flat, high-contrast and uses simple shapes and negative space to emphasize the player silhouette against the two-color field.

NBA - National Basketball Association Logo History

Created in 1969 by designer Alan Siegel for the National Basketball Association. The central silhouette is widely attributed to player Jerry West based on a photograph, though the league has not officially named the model in all communications.
