The best World Cup logos ever

This stylised Art Deco poster captures the spirit and drama of the game, as well as the aesthetic of the time

Two tournaments later, the World Cup made it to France – with another beautifully stylised poster replacing the action shot of Uruguay's offer with a dominant, imposing stance of a footballer conquering the globe. As well as the English team's Three Lions crest, another very overt link with the host country, this World Cup logo prominently features the Jules Rimet Cup itself – which was replaced by the current cup design in 1974. Rather than a footballer conquering the globe, with a ball on top of it, the strikingly symmetrical design instead integrates the globe with the football.

Amid the flurry of anthropomorphic animals that followed England's World Cup Willie – and continues to this day – Italy really bucked the trend with its mascot, translating the stylised, graphic look and feel of the logo design into a character called Ciao.Other than his featureless football-shaped head, Ciao – which means both 'hello' and 'goodbye' in Italian – was composed entirely of simple blocks in the Italian colours.

For the Germany 2006 World Cup, for the first time the World Cup logo integrated its predecessor. But it also gave full prominence to the fans this time. Having last hosted the Word Cup in 1974 with a minimalist two-colour logo that depicted a ball flying through the air, modern unified Germany opted for a much more colourful, cheerful design.

There's a lot going on in the full package. There are 32 squares, representing the number of teams competing, while their arrangement in a circle is intended not only to complement the shape of the football in the centre but also indigenous traditions.
