No More Rectangular Logo - All-New EA Guingamp 2019 Logo Revealed + New Kit Maker Announced
Some days ago, French Ligue 1 club FC Nantes presented an all-new, minimalistic new logo that split fans opinion. Now another French club, EA Guingamp, who were relegated to the Ligue 2, revealed an all-new crest - and it is safe to assume that it will be more popular amongst fans than the new logo of Nantes.
EA Guingamp 2019 Logo
This is the new EA Guingamp 2019 logo.
A heavy change to the famous rectangular logo that was introduced 20 years ago, the new En Avant de Guingamp Côtes-d'Armor logo features a totally new shape that is inspired by the logo of the 1970s. The new EA Guingamp logo respect the codes and strong symbols of the club: the historical colors red & black , the 3 letters EAG , the founding year 1912 , and of course the Triskel , emblematic of our territory and its traditions.
Fiers de nos couleurs. En Avant Guingamp ! 🔴⚫

Designed in collaboration with a Guingampese designer, the new En Avant Guingamp logo is also part of the modernity of its time, through a highly innovative graphic line. The name of our club remains incomparable and inimitable: "En Avant Guingamp" ("Forward Guingamp"). These three words have become, over time, a popular expression and our mark of recognition.
The new EA Guingamp logo is the 6th of its history. Guingamp was founded 107 years ago, in 1912.
