The Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix badge captures the timeless spirit of one of Formula 1’s most historic circuits, set against the sunlit beauty of the region. The design evokes a bright, golden atmosphere, with rolling green hills and farmland unfolding across the badge – mirroring the rhythm of the track as it weaves through the countryside.

Old stone houses dot the landscape, grounding the scene in a classic, old-school charm that reflects Imola’s deep roots in motorsport history. On one side, the medieval Rocca Sforzesca rises with its fortified silhouette, while the Basilica San Cassiano anchors the opposite edge with quiet elegance – two local landmarks that link past and present.

The composition balances movement and tradition, making space for both the speed of modern racing and the enduring character of Imola’s surroundings.
