In the early 1990s the Peachtree Battle Alliance Board of Directors commissioned portrait artist and long-time neighborhood resident, Comer Jennings, to design an emblem suitable for representing the PBA neighborhood. Comer graciously accepted the challenge and presented several excellent designs to the PBA Board members. The Board narrowed the choice to two designs – one incorporating a magnolia blossom and one a ginkgo leaf. After reviewing a couple of variations of each theme, the Board, in measured wisdom, chose a design bearing two ginkgo leaves as an appropriate symbol of our neighborhood.  When originally conceived, the PBA Board offered gingko leaf flags for sale to neighborhood residents. Over time, enthusiasm for the flags waned, and the artwork remained in a file which passed through the hands of several PBA Board Presidents.

In 2003, the PBA Board revived the emblem for use as our neighborhood logo. The historical significance of the much-loved and frequently photographed ginko tree standing guard near Peachtree Road, and its representation by our neighbor and artist, Comer Jennings, symbolize the gracious, yet sophisticated southern charm that exemplify the PBA neighborhood and the Peachtree Battle Alliance on our website.
