Typography:  Qatar-2022
Custom font
Launched:  3 September 2019

The official logo was unveiled at 8:22pm (2022 hours) at the National Archives Building in Doha on 3 September 2019. This coincided with the anniversary of Qatar's independence from the British in 1971. This logo was unveiled considerably later than most World Cups, usually unveiled at least four years before the event. It was unveiled simultaneously on FIFA's social media accounts and projected onto landmarks in 24 cities around the world.

“The emblem’s design embodies the vision of an event that connects and engages the entire world, while also featuring striking elements of local and regional Arab culture and allusions to the beautiful game”
FIFA Press Release

The logo follows the standard set by Brazil 2014; an abstraction of the FIFA World Cup trophy. In this case, it recreates the trophy from a traditional Arabic woolen shawl with a swooping curvature, depicting desert dunes. The shawl is commonly worn during the Arabian winter, when the World Cup takes place. The symbol also references the infinity symbol to represent the “interconnected nature” of the event, and the number eight refers to the eight stadiums which will host World Cup matches.

The Qatar 2022 font takes cues from Arabic lettering and calligraphy, merging it with contemporary styling of typography. The typeface as a whole reflects Qatar as a nation with strong cultural ties to the Gulf region and a modern, prosperous society.
