JOHN WALL LOGO

  • The logo was designed with the “J” crossing-over to the “W” to represent John’s quick, aggressive playing style and ability to cross-over defenders
  • The cross-over is also representative of John’s off-court style and how he transitions from a fearless player on the court to a laid back, fashion forward person off the court
  • The “JW” within the logo pays homage to his late father, John Wall Sr., who passed away when he was nine

SIGNATURE DETAILS AND STYLE

  • Additional details on the map include the Washington Monument, Statue of Liberty, St. Louis Gateway Arch, Golden Gate Bridge and Seattle Space Needle to represent John’s fans in DC and across the country
