The FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan 2002 logo shows a stylized trophy form made from sweeping gold lines, circular colour fields and the red, green and yellow visual accents of the co-host identity. Below it, the wordmark reads “2002 FIFA World Cup Korea Japan.”
The emblem was built around the shape of the FIFA World Cup Trophy, marking a shift toward making the trophy itself the central global symbol of the tournament brand. The circular forms also help suggest football, movement and a shared event between two host nations.
The 2002 World Cup was the first edition hosted in Asia and the first staged jointly by two countries, South Korea and Japan. The logo was unveiled simultaneously in Seoul and Tokyo on 31 May 1999.
The identity was developed by Interbrand and introduced a more unified FIFA World Cup branding system, with later tournament logos continuing to use trophy-inspired shapes as a core visual reference.
