Logo Evolution
The Atlanta United logo was constructed utilizing elements of Atlanta's rich history and culture, underscoring the city's progressive and passionate voice.
CIRCLE Inspired by the city's seal and Olympic heritage. It is a symbol of unity and globalization. The circle represents the never-ending passion for this city and club.
STRIPES The 5 stripes represent the pillars of our character: Unity, Determination, Community, Excellence, and Innovation. The black stripes are a nod to Atlanta's history as a railroad town.
THE A The bold "A" at the center of the logo puts the focus on the enduring strength of Atlanta. The "A" is anchored to the circle symbolizing the connection to the community.
FC We are called a Football Club because we are more than just a team. We are the fans, we are the community, we are Atlanta.
UNITED Atlanta is a modern international city that embraces all its citizens. We have an inclusive fan base that is progressive and passionate. A fan base that is one voice and gathers to stand united.
Unite & Conquer
Unite & Conquer is our vision, mission, promise to our ethos. It is the filter for everything we do. These two words provide a bold and unapologetic foundation for all that we embody.
Atlanta is a city where unity is found in diversity - the things that make individuals different are what makes this city stronger as whole. Atlanta United is powered by that same principle; this is our call for fans to bring their voices together-to create a force more powerful than any one human could be on their own.
In doing so, we will work to become the best and most passionate club in the world. UNITE & CONQUER represents our promise to our fans and our city - to entertain & unite Atlanta. We will ALWAYS give our best and represent ATL in a manner that is honest, authentic, and proud.
