World Draughts Federation gets new corporate identity

Introductional letter of the FMJD President

On October 1st the World Draughts Federation (FMJD) starts using its new corporate and visual
identity created by Estonian designer Tiit Jürna. FMJD opened its headquarters in Tallinn in 2017
when Janek Mäggi was elected president of the organization.

“The World Draughts Federation that was created in 1947 recently chose and confirmed its new
corporate identity,” said Janek Mäggi, president of FMJD. “The new identity reflects the vision of the
future for FMJD. In addition to organizing tournaments, we promote draughts in all countries of the
world and want to increase the number of FMJD Member States from 84 to over one hundred in the
coming year. After a long debate and going over many designs, the board of World Draughts
Federation (FMJD) approved our new corporate identity. Tiit Jürna created a lasting design that is
both clear and stimulating.”

"I believe that the new identity is a breath of fresh air for FMJD," said Harry Otten, Director of
International Relations of FMJD. "It was quite difficult to find common ground in a federation of
countries with different cultures, but I am glad that with the help of involved experts we have found
this new identity. We prove again that we are among the worlds leading sports organization
encompassing so many countries.
