Historical Conceptualisation of the Logo

Chess South Africa Published: 2025/03/21

The logo stands as a powerful emblem of unity and solidarity among South Africa`s provinces in their collective effort to advance chess nationwide. Designed in August 2022 by graphic designer Ms Jayne Hatting from De Aar, the logo incorporates the colours of each provincial chess emblem into a single chess piece, symbolising their shared commitment and collaboration.
