Branding
The official logo was unveiled on 5 December 2023.The visual identity was developed in close cooperation with the four host cities—Limassol, Tampere, Katowice, and Riga—and is characterized by a bold, architectural aesthetic designed to make a lasting impression for the 42nd edition of Europe’s flagship basketball tournament.
Each host city is represented through distinct color combinations embedded within the tournament’s broader visual identity.
According to FIBA’s Official Technical Supplier, the visual identity—including the logo—is further reinforced on-court via an innovative custom print technology. This allows court designs to feature three-dimensional effects, color gradients, and layered transparency, turning the playing surface into an immersive visual extension of the tournament branding.
