The Danish Women's Football League has rebranded with a new name, "Ligaforbundet." This change establishes a new identity focused on the game itself, rather than gender, and demonstrates a strategic commitment to elevating the league's standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project was undertaken by Sweden-Denmark based design studio NORD ID, which redefined the overall visual language under the concept of \u201cA Game at Pitch Two can Play.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The league association was founded in 1981 as "Damedivisionsforeningen" (Women's Division Association) and later renamed "Kvindedivisionsforeningen" (Kvindedivisionsforeningen). However, on July 20, 2025, the gender distinction was removed and the association officially changed to "League Association" (Ligaforbundet, abbreviated as LF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t want the Danish Women\u2019s League to be seen as a spin-off of the men\u2019s league,\u201d said Frederik Sommer, COO of NORD ID. \u201cThe philosophy behind the league is that it should be a self-contained league, not a separate entity like the Champions League and the Women\u2019s Champions League.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new visual identity is built around an asterisk symbol, inspired by the lines and angles of the stadium. This symbol embodies the tension and dynamism of the game, serving as a simple yet powerful symbol. NORD ID also developed a dedicated monospaced typeface for the A-League, in collaboration with Danish type designer Trine Rask. This typeface ensures a consistent brand experience across all platforms, including the website, broadcasts, and social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
