The main official logo of the 2022 Qatar World Cup
The first logo for the 2022 FIFA Football World Cup was unveiled by Qatar on 18 May 2009. The logo was inspired by the theme of global unity under the bid slogan, they said.
After changing the first logo they designed the second logo. The second logo is a calligraphic representation of the word Qatar (قطر) in a combination of English and Arabic. But this too was eventually canceled.
Finally, after a long wait, the official logo of the 2022 FIFA World Cup was unveiled at the National Archives building in Doha on 3 September 2019 at 20:22 am. It coincides perfectly with the anniversary of the independence of the country of Qatar which they gained from the British in 1971 after a long struggle.
This logo was unveiled much later than the FIFA World Cup, as FIFA rules usually reveal the official logo at least four years before the World Cup. It was simultaneously unveiled on FIFA’s own social media accounts and projected onto landmarks in 24 developed cities around the world. The 2022 FIFA Football World Cup logo was designed by Studio Unlock based in Lisbon, Portugal.

The first one reveals the eight stadiums located in Qatar. Again, the number 8 is an infinity symbol, symbolizing the interconnected nature of the world and the uncertainty of human life.
