Marketing
Logo and slogan
FIBA released the tournament slogan "Nothing Beats Like It" on 20 December 2021 as part of a promotional campaign.[17][18]
The tournament logo was revealed on 10 May, 2021, in a ceremony to mark 500 days until the tournament. The logo was inspired from the Indigenous artwork My Story, created by 14-year-old Aboriginal basketballer and artist Amarlie "Marlii" Briscoe. The logo features a basketball incorporating the designs used in Briscoe's artwork, also encompassing the newly-designed trophy for the tournament. The logo was created by VMLY&R Branding alongside Indigenous Australian-led creative consultancy Campfire x and Briscoe herself.[19]
Mascot
The mascot, "Karla the kangaroo", was revealed on 22 September 2021, exactly one year before the tournament. The mascot's character is a teenage kangaroo from Alice Springs, wearing a blue uniform. The kangaroo was chosen to be the mascot due to its cultural importance to Australia. The mascot was designed by design agency Spike Creative.[20]
