Mamata faction of Trinamool Congress unveils new logo, looks to familiarise voters with ‘football player’ symbol
The new logo has been unveiled days after the Election Commission froze the use of the ‘All India Trinamool Congress’ name and its reserved flowers-and-grass symbol amid an internal dispute over control of the party
On September 21, 2026, the Mamata Banerjee-led faction of the All India Trinamool Congress unveiled a new logo featuring their interim election symbol—a football player—surrounded by the words 'Mamata All India Trinamool Congress' in white against a blue background. The logo was placed centerstage, incorporating saffron, white, and green colors.
This move came after the Election Commission froze the use of the 'All India Trinamool Congress' name and its reserved flowers-and-grass symbol due to an internal dispute over party control. The Mamata faction received 'Mamata All India Trinamool Congress' and the 'football player' symbol for the upcoming bypolls on October 6, while the rival faction led by Arup Roy was given 'Democratic Trinamool Congress' and the 'envelope' symbol.
The Mamata camp aims to familiarize voters with the new symbol, as their traditional symbol has been a recognisable visual marker of Bengal politics for years.
