The Atlantic Sun Conference Brand Identity
The identity of the Atlantic Sun Conference reflects our position as a premier NCAA Division I conference. Contemporary, but designed to stand the test of time, this identity embraces the future.
The rising sun within the “A” represents hope and optimism for tomorrow. It also represents the brilliance of our student-athletes, who are at the heart of all we do.
As sure as the sun will rise, the ASUN will be leading the way.
ASUN BEAMS
WE PUT STUDENTS FIRST
In everything we do, the student-athlete comes first. We lead by example in embracing a student-first culture.
• For the three consecutive years, the ASUN SAAC has held a Social Media Campaign to raise awareness for Mental Health among student-athletes across the NCAA. Held in late January, student-athletes from the conference shared their stories and struggles to help break the stigma of mental health.
WE CAN RISE
We have a history of firsts and remain committed to elevating our student-athletes and bettering our future.
• Over the past two seasons, the ASUN Conference saw quality postseason success as league teams totaled 12 wins in national postseason tournaments. Four of those wins came in NCAA Tournaments, with victories in Baseball, Women’s Basketball, Women’s Lacrosse and Softball. EKU’s Ahmed Jaziri became the second student-athlete in ASUN Conference history to become a national champion after winning the 3,000m Steeplechase.

With the benefit of the ESPN+ platform the ASUN also expanded championship coverage to include the Men's and Women's Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
WE CAN IMPACT
Our success resides in the impact we make in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Making a difference counts.
