UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 has become a record-breaking tournament with attendance and viewing figures higher than ever before.

But while there has been England success on the field, there’s also been a big influence behind the scenes, with a Leeds agency behind its rebrand.

The Works designed the logo, visual identity and assets including television graphics and opening sequence for UEFA.

It was appointed to develop an overarching brand DNA for UEFA Women’s football and major flagship competitions to help put women’s football on the map.

“Women’s football has seen a massive development over the last few years. It’s increasing in exposure and popularity, this new look and feel has been developed to further support this growth,” said Paul Birks, Creative Director at The Works.

The new bold and bright branding has been designed to reflect the “strength, diversity and ever-growing popularity of women’s football.”

It’s based on circular shapes, combined with a clockwise rotation when moving, to represent: openness, progression and expansion.

One of the primary assets is a set of graphics, that it’s calling “player poses.” This consists of 4 pieces of artwork each depicting key, distinctive moves of 4 positions on the field. The pose is made up of circular shapes which overlap and interact to create areas of colour.

“Alongside the concept of circles was the colour pallet which we wanted to resonate with the youth of today without falling into a stereotypical route,” continued Birks.

“We knew that the branding predominantly lives online, so we chose a bright and vibrant colour-way that would stand out and move UEFA away from a more corporate look and feel to appeal to all ages and genders.”

Mischa Staas, Senior Brand Development Expert at UEFA added:

“Thanks to the strong collaboration with The Works we now have a UEFA Women’s EURO brand that truly represents the drive behind women’s football and that speaks to a wider and more youthful team of supporters in an engaging and inspiring way.”
