Meaning and History

The first InterSport lottery logo appeared in 1971 and was immediately presented in a thousand stores. The international corporation developed it for marketing purposes. It wanted the franchising network to have a unique corporate style, distinguishing it from competitors.

In 1979, the logo was redesigned. The new version reflected an improved brand image. The overall concept changed, but the color scheme remained the same: blue + red on an absolutely white background. In 2009, minor changes were made to the logo, only affecting the typography.

What is InterSport?
Intersport is an international chain of stores selling goods for various sports, including swimming, running, and football. It was founded in France in 1968 and gradually expanded, opening retail outlets in more than 60 countries worldwide. The product range includes accessories, footwear, and clothing specially designed for physically active people. The company sponsors numerous sporting events, including large-scale ones such as the Olympic Games, Tour de France, and FIFA World Cup.

1968 – 2018

Initially, the logo was a harmonious combination of text and graphics. They were balanced in color and style. On the left was a miniature icon that included two elements – the so-called ramp (short curved stripe) and a ball. They convey movement and the concept of being on the edge; one can either soar upwards or fall. On the right was the word “INTERSPORT,” divided by color into two segments: red “INTER” and blue “SPORT.” The second segment is highlighted with wide letters.

2018 – today

The central part of the Intersport label is a curved rectangle with a circle. The rectangular shape is like a steep ramp. A small ball has stopped at its edge – it is either rolling down or trying to climb to the top.

The image has frozen dynamics. Also, balance is important because the circle balances on the very edge and does not fall. This idea corresponds to the concept of the retail conglomerate specializing in sporting goods.

The second part of the logo is the inscription “InterSport.” The brand name is in two colors: red (“Inter”) and blue (“Sport”). The font is sans-serif with rounded corners. Until 2018, the letters were bold and merged in the second half of the word. This is not the case in the latest version of the logo – everything looks harmonious and corresponds to the idea of balance.
