Branding
Federación Costarricense de Fútbol
A redesign is never an easy task. Most of the time, the original brand comes with a lot of emotional baggage, which was the same situation we found while redesigning Costa Rica’s National Team brand. However, we didn’t expect their baggage to be ten times bigger.
Like many other Latin American countries, football is of massive relevance for the Ticos and their happiness. We’ve been pursuing this project for ages. Once the opportunity became available, it was time to grab it by the footballs, so we did.

The proposed brand takes inspiration from two of Costa Rica’s most recognizable and iconic national symbols, the National Emblem and the National Flag. The new visual interpretation of the shield brings a more contemporary look and a more substantial meaning.
Additionally, we needed to find a way to separate the National Football Federation's brand from the National Team’s. Sounds pretty obvious; still, for some reason, no one thought about it that way in the past 30+ years.
What was previously known as the “Fede”, “Fedefut” or “Fedefútbol” became Federación Costarricense de Fútbol or FCRF. The name change came with new typography and a more consistent visual structure that can stand on its own, or share the spotlight with the National Team's crest.
