FC Basel 1893 | Logo Redesign

You'd be surprised to hear that FC Barcelona crest was inspired by the FC Basel's and not vice versa.

Yes, you read that right. The famous "Blaugrana" colors of Barcelona are said to have originated from the ''Rotblau'' colors of FC Basel. FC Barcelona was founded by former Basel captain Joan Gamper.

Once again, I won't bother you with technical details. What made me create this concept was the fact that the current logo is unacceptably asymmetrical and it has too much shadow game going on.

I wanted to emphasize the fact that the city of Basel is located where the French, German and Swiss borders meet and to use the shape of Basel's coat of arms. The recognizable color scheme was kept.

Thank you for reading! :)
