Bàsquet Club Andorra, known competitively as BC MoraBanc Andorra, is a professional basketball club based in Andorra la Vella that competes in Spain’s Liga ACB. The club was founded on 12 June 1970 under the name Club de Basket Les Escaldes, later becoming the current Bàsquet Club Andorra.[1] Its visual identity centers on the Brut, a snowman-like mascot introduced in 2018, which has become the club’s most recognizable symbol.
Design and History
For years the club’s logo was a simple reference to the club’s initials.[2] In September 2018, the club unveiled a new crest featuring the Brut, a yeti-like mascot that had first appeared before fans in May of that year. The Brut was the result of a school contest organized with Grans Magatzems Pyrénées, won by student Pol Martos.[3] The 2018 logo showed the character overlooking the snow-capped Pyrenees mountains, supported by the club name, sponsor MoraBanc, and the traditional slogan “Som un país” (“We are a country”).[2] Club officials described the new mark as giving the image of “value, courage and ferocity of a club that wants to compete against everyone,” replacing a crest they felt was “little emotional, sober and cold.”[4]
In June 2026, the club presented a refreshed brand identity under the concept “Forts. Units. El Nord.” (“Strong. United. The North.”). The update was the result of an internal reflection process involving members, sponsors, coaches, staff and collaborators, with the stated goal of reinforcing an identity built over more than fifty years rather than creating a new brand.[5] The most visible change was the redesign of the Brut: for the first time the mascot faces forward instead of in profile, a shift described as symbolizing a determined approach to the future. The redesign also removed the basketball from the character and integrated mountain patterns into its fur, making the territory an inseparable part of its identity.[5][6]
Meaning and Symbolism
The Brut is described as “a man of the snows,” a figure tied to the Pyrenean landscape where the club is based.[3] In the 2026 redesign, the mascot’s forward-facing gaze symbolizes a determined way of facing the future, faithful to the club’s competitive personality.[5] The integration of mountains into the Brut’s fur reinforces the bond between the club and the country it represents.[5] The club’s enduring symbols, including the “Som un país” slogan, the Bombonera (the arena), the youth academy, the Catalan language, the anthem and territorial commitment, remain pillars of the identity.[5]
Typography and Design
The 2026 identity introduced a custom typeface called Allau, along with a simplified graphic system.[5] The color palette was reduced to ice blue, white and dark blue, colors inspired by the high-mountain landscape and the inhospitable character of the Pyrenees.[5] The new visual language also incorporates graphic resources inspired by the mountains and the club’s principal symbols.[5] The identity is being applied progressively across digital platforms, official communications, team kits, merchandise, signage and the Pavelló Toni Martí.[6]
