Badminton was invented long ago; its origins date back at least two thousand years to the game of battledore and
shuttlecock played in ancient Greece, India and China. Badminton took its name from Badminton House in
Gloucestershire, the home of the Duke of Beaufort, where the sport was played in the last century.
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) is recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the
International Paralympic Committee (IPC) as the world governing body for badminton. The International
Badminton Federation (IBF), as it was originally called, was established in London, on 5 July 1934 with nine
founding member associations (Canada, Denmark, England, France, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand,
Scotland and Wales). The BWF is a federation of 192 members globally.

Logo
The BWF logo which was launched in 2012, is contemporary, strong and efficient. Red is the base brand colour
and the logo includes the strong and bold letters “BWF”. These letters are located in a ‘holding device’ which is
in the shape of a stylized shuttle. This stylized shuttle has been used since 2011 in key BWF events branding
such as the BWF World Superseries. From 2012, this has also been used in Major Events branding – BWF World
Championships, BWF Sudirman Cup and the BWF Thomas and Uber Cups.
