Incorporating the Finale of the European Cup
The 48th European FITASC Sporting Championship, running concurrently with the definitive Finale of the European Cup, was the pinnacle continental tournament for the Sporting discipline (Parcours de chasse) in 2015. Held from June 4th to June 7th, 2015, this prestigious championship gathered the elite of international clay target shooting at the world-class Galgamácsa Shooting Ground in Hungary.
Event Highlights & Visual Analysis
Based on the official event emblem, the championship's visual profile paired institutional authority with clear national symbolism:
Central Visual Design: The logo displays a sharp, minimalist blue map silhouette showing the geographical borders of the host country, Hungary.
National Color Accents: Framing the left side of the map are two dynamic, sweeping concentric curves colored in vibrant red and green, which combine with the clean white background to replicate the colors of the Hungarian national flag.
Typographic Border: The outer perimeter is lined with a continuous arc of deep blue typography clearly defining the competition parameters: "48th. European Fitasc Sporting Championship" on the upper half, balanced below by "2015 Galgamácsa / Hungary".
