LOGO MISSING |
The European Super Cup is an annual Super Cup competition between, back then, the winners of the European Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup. While such a competition was first held in 1972, it wasn't considered official by UEFA until the following year. No logo was used until the 1998 edition. The competition was renamed as the UEFA Super Cup in 1994.
1998–1999[]
That year, the Super Cup became a one-legged match hosted in a neutral venue, as this was the case today, and the first logo for a UEFA Super Cup was used. It was the combination of the competitions the two contestants are traditionally qualified from: The star from the UEFA Champions League starball, and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup trophy. Seen above is taken from an opening sequence, hence the presence of its title sponsor Nissan, and the word "Monaco", since, until 2013, all UEFA Super Cup ties were held at the Stade Louis II, the national stadium of the country. The logo was only used for two editions.
2000–2006[]
After the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was abolished, the UEFA Cup winner now competes in the Super Cup. To accommodate this change, the Cup Winners' Cup trophy was replaced by a stick figure from the UEFA Cup logo. The logo was used for the first time during the 2000 UEFA Super Cup between Real Madrid CF and Galatasaray S.K.
2006–2011[]
In 2006, the ball and figure were replaced by an abstract representation of the Super Cup trophy. The symbol remains largely unchanged since, with the only change since then being the wordmark.
2012[]
In 2012, The UEFA logo was given an update. This was a unique UEFA Super Cup logo that was only used in the 37th edition in 2012.
2013–present[]
In 2013, The UEFA Super Cup logo was been revamped again. The SUPER CUP letters are again uppercase and were given a more detailed look.
