Through a press release, Electronic Arts has unveiled a first taste and the logo of EA Sports FC, the new EA brand that will replace FIFA: let’s find out all the details together
The divorce between FIFA and Electronic Arts was already established some time ago and so, the next chapters of EA’s football simulation will no longer be called FIFA (although the series will continue to exist, albeit in other hands), but, as already unveiled, EA Sports FC. And in the past few hours, via press release, the company has unveiled its logo, brand vision and identity. FC will become EA SPORTS’ platform for creating, innovating and growing new football experiences, connecting hundreds of millions of fans across console, mobile, online and esports products.
EA Sports FC reveals itself: logo, identity and vision!
In the coming days, the brand EA SPORTS FC will make his debut in more than 100 matches of the major leagues in the world. Football fans will see the new brand identity for the first time through EA SPORTS partners including Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, WSL, NWSL, CONMEBOL and more. Football personalities from around the world join EA SPORTS to usher in a new era for gaming, with hundreds of leagues, teams, brands and athletes sharing the EA SPORTS FC logo across their platforms today.
Nick WlodykaSVP & GM of EA Sports FC, said:
This is where the EA SPORTS FC story begins. We are building on 30 years of leadership and history by creating experiences that unite the global football community and continuing to carry it into a fan-friendly future. EA SPORTS FC will be a symbol for the sport, of innovation and change, and we are excited to show our fans more of the future ahead in July.
Not just a replacement, but a new vision | EA Sports FC: unveiled the logo and many details on the replacement of FIFA!
The new brand takes its design inspiration directly from the game and from a dominant shape in football culture that represents sport in multiple dimensions, triangles. From passing techniques to game patterns, the shape has also been woven into the DNA of EA SPORTS football experiences for decades; from the isometric angles of our very first 8-bit experiences, to the triangular polygons that make up every pixel of our most modern games, plus the iconic player indicator symbol that appears above the athletes in every game.
EA SPORTS has defined interactive soccer for 30 years and built a global soccer community of over 150 million across multiple platforms – a community that EA SPORTS FC will continue to grow together with partners who share the common goal of a fan-friendly future of football. Built on a foundation of inclusivity and innovation, fans will experience unparalleled authenticity with access to more than 19,000 fully licensed players, 700 teams and 30 leagues, with the support of over 300 global football partners enabling further expansion into areas including both women’s and youth football.
