2022 Women’s Final Four Logo Unveiled

The NCAA unveiled the logo for next year’s 2022 Women’s Final Four earlier this month, the annual tournament will be held in Minneapolis on April 1 and April 3, 2022 at the Target Center.

The logo, designed by Section 127 out of Indianapolis, plays up Minnesota’s northern setting. The three different shades of blue used throughout give the impression of a colder location, the shape of the logo is that of a compass (with the indicator pointing to the north), and the North Star is present at the bottom in blue on a basketball.

Other bits of symbolism include four small stars representing the final four teams as well an orange bracket showing the Final Four and the Final rounds of the tournament. The Stone Arch Bridge, an old railway bridge in Downtown Minneapolis still used today as a cycling and pedestrian bridge is also featured in the logo shown spanning high above the Mississippi River which has its headwaters in the state of Minnesota.
