The logo represents the ball raised by the hands of Juan Domingo Perón who was the president of Argentina for two terms (1946-1955; 1973-1974). It was designed by Ronald Shakespear in 1972, and patented in 1974 when the president Perón passed away. After the 1976 coup d'etat, the Jorge Videla's military government tried to modify it, but FIFA opposed to keep this logo which was shown at 1974 FIFA World Cup Final.
