EA has revealed the logo for EA Sports FC, its rebranding of its FIFA games following the split between it and world football’s governing body. The publisher also announced that it will be providing many more details about EA Sports FC in July, like full details of what to expect and it is also likely to confirm a release date then too.
“This is where the story of EA SPORTS FC begins. We’re building on 30 years of leadership and history creating experiences that bring the global football community together, and continuing to take it into a fan-first future,” said Nick Wlodyka, SVP & GM, EA SPORTS FC. “EA SPORTS FC will be a symbol for the sport, a symbol of innovation and change, and we’re energized to show our fans more about the future in July.”
There is a reason that the FC is in a triangle shape. According to EA, the triangle is key shape in football, having an impact on set pieces and passing. It also links to the history of EA’s FIFA games, with the company saying, “…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 and the triangular polygons that make up every pixel of our most modern games, as well the iconic player indicator symbol that appears above every athlete in every match.”
The split from FIFA has not had a major impact on the licenses it holds for the leagues and teams that will appear in EA Sports FC. The Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Women’s Champions League, La Liga Santander, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Serie A, CONMEBOL Libertadores, Barclays Women’s Super League, MLS and NWSL will all feature in the game, as well as other leagues and competitions.
