Future Stars Championship: New Name and Logo
Apart from relaunching the exchange series, the CPBL also renamed the event from “Pro-Amateur Championship” to “Future Stars Championship”. On top of that, the league also made some significant adjustments to the event logo.
There are visible changes to the overall shape of the primary logo and the league logo placement. The design team also added ten stars which symbolise all the future stars.
Last year, the Pro-Amateur Championship was cancelled due to the pandemic.
