The FIFA World Cup West Germany 1974 logo shows a green rectangular mark with a white abstract football and three sweeping curved lines, above the bold text “WM 74.” The design is highly minimal, using only green and white with no detailed national landmark or mascot.

“WM” stands for “Weltmeisterschaft,” the German word for World Cup, making the host-language abbreviation the clearest connection to West Germany. The ball and curved motion lines give the emblem a clean football identity while keeping the design simple and modern.

West Germany 1974 was the 10th FIFA World Cup and was played from 13 June to 7 July 1974. It was the first World Cup to award the current FIFA World Cup Trophy, after Brazil kept the Jules Rimet Trophy permanently in 1970.

The logo belongs to the early era of stripped-down World Cup marks, before later editions made host culture or the trophy shape more central to the emblem.
