yoshi Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 The World Cup. The only event that can hold a candle to the Olympics in global prestige. So it's a bit odd that we haven't held a logo contest for it isn't it? UNTIL NOW This is the Gamesbids FIFA World Cup 2026 logo comp - here's how it works:As with some previous comps here, this is a multiple-choice-multiple-country format. You can make a logo for any number of the following exceptional eight countries:USA 2026Argentina 2026Morocco 2026New Zealand 2026Australia 2026China 2026England 2026Spain 2026You can make logos for any number of these, but it is one logo per entrant per country. This is a contest for a hosting logo for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As such it will need to be in the current format of logo that FIFA uses - that is, vaguely in the shape of the World Cup trophy. For clarification, here are the logos of the 2014 & 2018 World Cups, demonstrating what we're talking about & what can be done with the trophy shape:The font of the xxx 2026 bit is completely your own choice. I can't give any detail about the voting format yet - it will depend on how many submissions we get. But I can tell you that submissions are now OPEN UNTIL JULY 3. We will then conduct any kind of voting over the final week of Euro 2016. So, good luck to all, & get designing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 A few more to illustrate the format. From the Oceania region: Actually, I thought the PNG one looked like a bong. A good logo for a Jamaica cup? And a few others... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 This should be interesting as there are design 'limitations' that will reward real design over form. I'll have a ponder and see if I can come up with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Okay, here's a few quick and rough ones to, pardon the expression, get the ball rolling. Edited June 12, 2016 by Rolski Polski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinXTC Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Okay, here's a few quick and rough ones to, pardon the expression, get the ball rolling. I don't think either of those would be FIFA approved lol but this is just a contest among ppl here so doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) I just did them up quick and dirty - literally five minutes each, to get things going. I tried to make them fit the WC trophy shape more, but my free drawing skills on computer aren't the best - there's reason I usually organise these things rather than participate. Liberty's head, for example, looked way too strange and distorted if I tried to make it bigger. I'm sure they could be adopted to the style better. Not expecting them to get any votes - more just to get the party started - I know there's the talent here to leave these in the dust!

Sir Rols Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Here's another quick and dirty idea I just threw together literally since I replied to LatinXTC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinXTC Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Here's another quick and dirty idea I just threw together literally since I replied to LatinXTC That actually looks much more accurate to what FIFA would want! And I like it! But all you did was take one of the pillars from the Sagrada Familia lol I was thinking if I was going to enter this contest, I would take a picture of a butt plug as a template and play around with that by adding things lol. The shape of the FIFA cup does look way too similar to a butt plug I've seen at a site lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshi Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Good to see entries - hopefully others will be inspired. I'm very intrigued to see what you come up with with the limitation of the trophy shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JO2024 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Sorry for the big image, I forgot to resize it. So, I thought I'd have a go at it. I got inspired by Spanish artists such as Miro, Picasso and Gaudi (that's also when I realized that the Euro 2016 was also inspired by such artists...) and football of course. As for the colors, I went for the obvious red and yellow from the Spanish flag, and the blue is about Spain being a sea country (with the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean sea on both sides). I'm not a designer. I hand-drew it on an Ipad, so it's not perfect, but I had a good time doing it. So thanks guys for this great idea! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotguy Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 The latest logo in this format has been released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 That's interesting - first of all it looks more Latin American than Korean to me, and also that it says Korea Rep. Last couple of FIFA tournaments they've just said Korea - did our friends in the North get uppity about that? Great to see you back Scot - are you gonna enter the comp?
