Formula E, the international electric motor racing series, has revealed a new logo and series branding ahead of its ninth season starting in January.
The new identity is “inspired by the instant torque of electric acceleration.” Up to now, the series has used the same branding with which it first launched almost a decade ago.

The new look marks a new era for Formula E, with the upcoming campaign seeing the debut of the highly anticipated Gen3 car, touted as the fastest, lightest, most powerful, and most efficient electric race car ever built.
The series said: “At the heart of the new system is the Torque Loop that represents the excitement and energy at the core of the brand and the sport.
“This self-sustaining loop is the source of the new logo, typeface, and the brand’s new animation principles.”
The series added the rebrand is to be “rolled out over the coming days, weeks, and months” starting with Formula E’s digital accounts. A new website and app will be launched next year to enhance the fan experience.
