MUNICH (Germany) - The official logo of FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2021 was unveiled on Tuesday during a special launch event in Valencia, Spain ahead of the 38th edition of Europe's premier women's basketball competition.

Following a number of design proposals from leading graphics agencies throughout Europe, the national federations of the host countries selected the logo design by the Lisbon-based agency VMLY&R Branding.

The visual identity focuses on the outlines of some of the most iconic basketball moves where the shapes come together to form the logo and its elements.

"With the much-anticipated FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2021 fast approaching, the logo launch marks an important milestone both for the organizers and basketball fans across the continent," said FIBA Executive Director Europe Kamil Novak.

"The design offers an innovative approach to the basketball moves that make up the beautiful game that we all love, with the logo perfectly encapsulating the spirit of the competition."

FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2021 will take place from June 17-27, 2021 in France and Spain.

This is the third time that the competition is co-hosted in multiple countries, with Hungary and Romania organizing together in 2015 and Latvia and Serbia co-hosting the most recent edition in 2019.
