The new logo for the <strong>PGA</strong> Championship (left) will be used for the first time at the 2013 Championship at Oak Hill.<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> of America announces new <strong>PGA</strong> Championship logo<br />
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- The <strong>PGA</strong> of<br />
America announced the launch of a new official logo<br />
for the <strong>PGA</strong> Championship, which showcases the<br />
Season's Final Major while also supporting its host<br />
venues and its worldwide golf appeal.<br />
The <strong>PGA</strong> of America engaged PS212 of New York<br />
City as design consultant, to support its objective to<br />
capture the significance of a Championship that<br />
originated in 1916, the spirit of golf and enthusiasm<br />
of unscripted entertainment that is live sports. The<br />
first usage of the new logo begins with the 95th<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> Championship in August 2013 at Oak Hill<br />
Country Club in Rochester, N.Y.<br />
"For more than 95 years, golf enthusiasts around this<br />
country have embraced a world-class <strong>PGA</strong> Championship<br />
field that competes for the Rodman<br />
Wanamaker Trophy," said <strong>PGA</strong> of America President<br />
Allen Wronowski. "That sparkling trophy and<br />
The <strong>PGA</strong> of America brand also have connected<br />
By <strong>PGA</strong> of America<br />
with many of the finest venues in our sport. The new<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> Championship logo reflects a proud, distinctive<br />
history while also paying tribute to magnificent<br />
hosts."<br />
David Gaglione, PS212's founder, said that the new<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> Championship logo, with its centerpiece<br />
Wanamaker Trophy, features four pennants representing<br />
golf's four major championships and captures<br />
the celebratory spirit that the Championship<br />
delivers. The branding of the <strong>PGA</strong> Championship<br />
logo was a six-month endeavor that, Gaglione said,<br />
"combined the teamwork of future host sites."<br />
"The banner and circle are familiar visual references<br />
in golf. The shading, color, and effects used in the<br />
creation of the <strong>PGA</strong> Championship logo deliver a<br />
strong reinterpretation of these classic elements,"<br />
said Gaglione. "The rich blue used for the logo emanates<br />
from The <strong>PGA</strong> of America's core colors that<br />
are found in The <strong>PGA</strong>'s seal."<br />
