On 10 March 2020, during the Commonwealth Day, the Commonwealth Games Association of Canada launched its new brand. The Association, which was formerly name Commonwealth Games Canada (CGC), will now be called as Commonwealth Sport Canada (CSC). In addition to the new name, CSC has also introduced its new CSC logo which links to the new CGF brand by incorporating the three "Victory Marks".[4][5]
