Granada Basket maroon basketball jersey with the number 22 and the pomegranate pattern

Granada Basket A sports identity made from what Granada already has

Granada Basket is a sports visual identity for basketball in Granada. The symbol, the pattern and the kit come from the city itself: the pomegranate that gives it its name, and the arches, tiles and lions of the Alhambra.

01Logo concept

Arch and pomegranate: the city as the starting point.

The sketch travels through Granada: the arch that frames the city, the windows and arcades of the Alhambra, its tiles and the pomegranate. Three ideas from the sketch (composition, balance and harmony) shape the symbol and the pattern. A logo design with local roots.

  • CompositionThe arch that frames the city organises the symbol.
  • BalanceThe pomegranate is built symmetrically, like the Nasrid arcades.
  • HarmonySymbol and pattern share the same curves.
  • AlhambraWindows, tiles and lions as the source of the whole system.

02Symbol and pattern

A crowned pomegranate.

The silhouette is the fruit's, with its crown on top. Inside, its curves recall the Nasrid arches and leave a drop-shaped space in the centre. The pattern repeats a single piece in rows that fit together: above, the pomegranate in red; below, the same module in maroon.

04Kit and court

The pattern, from the jersey to the court.

The pomegranate module dresses the team kit (jersey, ball and trainer) and reaches all the way to the court floor. A sports branding system you can recognise from the stands and on TV.

The reel runs through the identity: the player, the ball, the mascot and, at the end, the pattern module.

Player, mascot and trophy.

The identity taken into 3D: a player in the kit, an Alhambra lion as the mascot and a trophy shaped like a crowned pomegranate.
