The visual identity of the FISU World University Championship Cheerleading is rooted in Nordic design principles, clarity, functionality and confidence, combined with dynamic and warm colours that reflect the energy and spirit of cheerleading.
The identity represents Swedish cheerleading’s ambition to contribute to the continued global development of the sport, while aligning with the values and structure of the FISU brand.
The central symbol is a combination of a pom-pom and a star. The pom-pom references the sport’s heritage and team dynamics, while the star symbolizes excellence, aspiration and international achievement. Together, they form a versatile and contemporary mark that reflects the multidimensional nature of cheerleading.
The symbol is carried and supported by the letter “U”, a deliberate tribute to the University Sports movement. The “U” functions both conceptually and structurally: it visually upholds the symbol while reinforcing the connection to the global university sports community. At the same time, it serves as a recognizable and unifying element within the FISU brand system.
The result is a cohesive identity that balances athletic energy with institutional clarity, expressing excellence, unity and upward progression.
