World Cup 2026 Minimalist Poster

Inspired by the Bauhaus art movement, this design for the 2026 World Cup combines geometric abstraction, sans-serif typography, and linear grid set up to create clean lines for a simple, yet striking design. 

Application: Illustrator ​

Institution: Pratt Institute, Typography (Summer 2024)

The composition emphasizes balance and using basic shapes, such as the circles to resemble soccer balls. The colors in the circles represent each flag of the winning national team for the men’s World Cup since it began in 1930, with the last monochromatic circle waiting to be colored in with the 2026 winning country. 

 

The bold, sleek, sans-serif typography - Futura - and the use of negative space reflects the functional, modernist principles of the Bauhaus movement. Following the movement of the flags, the text descends with the World Cup slogan (for the game, for the world), the host countries (Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America), followed by the event itself.
