The official emblem was unveiled on 27 July 2019 in Centenary Square, Birmingham, by the Birmingham Organising Committee for the 2022 Commonwealth Games (BOCCG) as part of the Commonwealth Social Festival to commemorate Three Years To Go.

It was designed by local agency RBL, based in Royal Leamington Spa. This insignia is also the first to use the Commonwealth Games Federation's (CGF) new branding, "Commonwealth Sport". Locals in the city and on social media have mostly reacted positively to it and some compared it to the emblem for the 2012 Summer Olympics. [1] [2]
