Commonwealth Games Scotland (CGS) is the lead body for Commonwealth sport in Scotland and we are the organisation responsible for selecting, preparing and leading Scotland’s team at the Commonwealth Games and Commonwealth Youth Games.

We are the guardian of the Games movement in Scotland, that has seen some of our nation’s most memorable and inspiring sporting achievements, in what is one of the biggest multi-sport events in the world.

The Commonwealth Games is the only multi-sport Games in which Scots get to compete under the Scotland flag and is the pinnacle of the Scottish sporting pathway for so many of our 26 member sports and athletes.

Team Scotland’s participation in the Games enjoys huge support from the Scottish public, and our athletes are proving to be a huge inspiration to young people across the country, aspiring to follow in their footsteps.

In 2009, prior to the Delhi Commonwealth Games Commonwealth Games, CGS took the decision to develop a Team Scotland brand mark in addition to the corporate CGS brand mark, which is part of the CGF brand family. Whilst the CGS brand mark is still being used in a business to business context with key stakeholders, the aim was to recognise the unique position that the Scottish Commonwealth Games Team held in the sports market place and create an identity that team members and the Scottish public could easily understand and engage with.

It was also decided that it would evolve the brand mark every two years to make it specific to every edition of the Commonwealth Games and Commonwealth Youth Games.

However following a recent commercial review, CGS has decided to establish Team Scotland as an ongoing brand, rather than a once every four year entity linked to each Games.

As a result CGS now wishes to commission an exciting new brand mark for Team Scotland, which we believe will help to significantly strengthen the Team Scotland brand for ongoing use, as the first stage of our brand development activity.
