and its modern evolution in Los
Angeles.
- Iconic monochrome: The team's black and white colors pay
homage to the city's renowned architectural landmarks, such as the
Getty and LACMA.
- Unifying symbolism: The interconnected "L" and "A" in
the logo mirror the sport's potential to unite diverse communities
within LA.
- Universal driver: The golf club featured in the mark, a
driver, represents an inclusive symbol of the sport, accessible to
beginners and professionals alike.
- Symbolic grooves: Three grooves on the driver's head
represent the three players who will proudly represent Los Angeles in the 2024 season.
"Our ambition is and always will be to unite the communities of
Los Angeles under the banner of
this beloved sport. This new logo is not just a professional sports
team symbol, it is a visual representation of the commitment we're
making to our fans to make golf more accessible, for everyone. We
can't wait to see our logo proudly displayed on our players when
they compete in the arena and within our local community," said

Avenue, a multidisciplinary creative and strategy agency rooted in
sports culture. The design was led by Matthew Wolff, a creative director known for his
industry-defining work with sports brands including Jordan x Paris Saint-Germain, Los Angeles
Football Club, and Minnesota Twins.
