Founded in 2014, the Chinese Football Association Super League is the highest tier of professional football in its country. The color palette of the CSL logo seems to have been inspired by the orange wordmark of its sponsor, Ping An Insurance.
The design is built around a stylized football in flight. The football actually looks a bit like a comet due to its long “tail.” Also, because of the tail and the “fiery” colors, the ball seems to be burning. Below the pictorial part of the Chinese Super League logo, the letters “CSL” in a sans serif type can be seen. The italicized font looks simple and legible, although the lines are rather thin.
