| Football (popularly known as Soccer in the US) is the most passionately watched sports in the world. The FIFA World Cup launched in 1930 and is repeated after every four years, with the exception of 1942 and 1946 (due to World Wars). Each World Cup has been accompanied by a fresh logo design which serves as its official insignia. The 19th FIFA World Cup is underway with full furor in South Africa. Although the FIFA 2014 logo has also been unveiled, a total of 18 dead logos of previous FIFA World Cups have amassed so far. Let us take a quick recap of all the logos featured by FIFA in the coveted contest from the inaugural 1930 to the upcoming 2014 in Brazil.
