Brazilian esports organization FURIA has received a visual rebrand along with a new partnership with betting platform Betnacional. FURIA has been given a spot in the Brazil Game Show (BGS), which prompted the rebranding of its jersey and its social media channels. The organization has a booth at the event in partnership with HyperX, and FURIA’s CS:GO team will be playing in the qualifiers for the IEM Major Rio 2022.
The new visual elements are inspired by graffiti culture, fusing the organization’s vision with its urban identity. FURIA will also be launching a new facility in Miami’s Wyndwood neighborhood, a known area for street art in the city.
Bryner Caldas, Head of Creative at FURIA, commented: "The colours are the symbol of the renewal of the FURIA brand. They were already part of our DNA when we talk about inclusion and diversity and social issues. Now they are also part of our competition uniform. FURIA is the same in passion and competition, only now it enters to win with much more energy."
