It’s really over: after almost 30 years of collaboration, the cord is broken between the Fifa And Electronic Arts, who did not renew the contract between the federation and the publisher. It is without its emblematic name, but with a lot of technologies in the bag thatElectronic Arts will continue to develop football games, now with the title EA Sports FC.
The time is not yet for the revelation ofEA Sports FC 24 (or whatever it’s called), but the publisher is still starting to kick off the promotional machine by unveiling the official logo of the franchise. Incisive and modern, its triangular shape is almost reminiscent of a club crest. Expect to see it a lot over the next few days, because EA plans to put it up with its partners in Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, League 1, WSL, NSWSL, CONMEBOL and more. playstation, Xbox And nintendo have already shared the logo decked out in their colors, proof that the franchise will still be present with the three main manufacturers.
The design of the new brand takes direct inspiration from the beautiful game as well as from a major shape present in the culture of football and which represents this sport in multiple dimensions: the triangle. From passing techniques to set-piece combinations, this shape has also been ingrained in the DNA of EA SPORTS football experiences for decades, from the isometric angles of the first 8-bit game to the triangular polygons that make up every pixel of the main modern games, as well as the player indication symbol that appears above every athlete in every match.
