Best Team or Event Brand Identity of 2026
The team or event brand identity that won a GDUSA award in 2026, each with the firm and the designers credited.
5 award-winning projects
A team identity sells tickets and merchandise, and a club's mark can be the most valuable asset it owns. The designer builds an identity that fans will tattoo on themselves and that a league office will still approve, and the system has to work on a jersey and a scoreboard in the same season. The winners here feel like the team before the whistle. The Seattle Mariners' 2025 postseason identity won its category, and COMMUNION's FC Como Women took an overall award for blending sports and style codes in a way Italian football hadn't seen. The best team and event identity designers in the awards are on this page. Open any identity to see the system and learn how it was built.
