Marketing

On 3 August 2023, FIBA Europe unveiled a new logo for the tournament.[8] Their reasons behind the logo refresh were:

The approach to the logo refresh was to elevate the initial logo concept to a more dynamic 3D look with greater depth and character. While keeping its core elements, it adds a new and vibrant dimension to the logo, offering a fresh modern feel together with the new typography.
