The FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 logo shows a stylized trophy-shaped emblem above the tournament wordmark. Its red, gold, black and blue design includes rounded blue panels, star-like details and flowing decorative forms, with “FIFA World Cup” and “Russia 2018” written below.
The overall silhouette is based on the FIFA World Cup Trophy. The colours and ornamental style were presented as references to Russian artistic traditions, while the blue panels and stars connect the emblem to Russia’s history of space exploration.
The logo was unveiled on 28 October 2014 by Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station, then projected onto the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. That launch reinforced the space theme built into the design.
The Russia 2018 identity was created by Brandia Central, the same agency later associated with other major football tournament branding. Its custom wordmark used forms influenced by Russian visual culture while keeping the trophy shape as the main global football symbol.
