36 missourivalley.usta.com CROSSCOURT | Winter 2006 he USTA has unveiled a new brand iden- Ttity that creates a consistent and unified branded platform for all USTA programs and events. For the first time, the iconic flaming ball of the US Open will be integrated into the USTA logo to better connect the US Open to all USTA programs. The new brand identity further signifies the USTA’s position as a progressive leader in driv- ing the growth and appeal of tennis in the United States – from local communities to the highest level of the professional game. The new flaming ball and shield logo provides a consistent visual communication that links USTA programs – the US Open, USTA Pro Circuit, USTA Leagues, USTA Junior Team Tennis, USTA Membership – and the 17 USTA Sections. “This new branding system creates a consis- tent identity linking all USTA professional and grassroots programs, while creating an aspira- tional brand to further grow the game,” said Michelle Wilson, managing director of Marketing, Pro Tennis, USTA. “By carrying the flaming ball icon through the entire brand identi- ty system, we can better leverage fans’ emotional connection to the US Open to all our programs.” The new logo and brand identity is now being incorporated into all USTA materials, including USTA professional and recreational programs, usta.com, USTA Magazine, and all USTA events. In addition, the new branding system will be incorporated throughout the 17 USTA Sections. The new logo also will be prominently featured at the USTA National Tennis Center, home of the US Open.

To obtain a logo contact the USTA/Missouri Valley Section Director of Marketing Communications: Manon Eilts, [email protected] or 913-322-4826.
