2011 ICC Cricket World Cup Logo Design
The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup will be the tenth Cricket World Cup, and will be hosted by three South Asian Test cricket playing countries; India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. It will be Bangladesh's first time co-hosting a Cricket World Cup. The World Cup will use cricket's One Day International format, with fourteen national cricket teams scheduled to compete. The World Cup will take place during the months of February and March 2011, with the first match being played on 19 February 2011.
The event has a theme called "Celebration of Cricket" and the logo represents the theme. The logo is in the shape of a cricket ball with an upright green seam and both the sides represent a crowd that is a part of the action, with the hands up, cheering and shouting for their team.
The green seam indicates the one day ball and the green of the pitch and ground. The players and crowd surround this with motion and activity. The colours and figures on each side of the ball represent the event host nations coming together along with the world of cricket. The colour and movement creates a festival, players and fans coming together from around the world to celebrate cricket in the sub-continent.
The logo was unveiled on July 14th in Mumbai and was designed by Australian creative firm Witekite, one of 12 companies from all over the world that submitted concepts. The logo, in the shape of a cricket ball, is intended to reflect all that is best about cricket in the sub-continent - colour, movement and action.
I really love the logo as it represents the energy of the crowds in the sub-continents will bring to the event. The shapes in the logo also have a very Indian touch to it.

Economic Crisis Logos
 | Indian food is among the most popular cuisines around the world and IT in India is among the fastest growing professions as well. Someone had the bright idea of combining the two and the results can be seen below. Some are quite funny especially the interpretation of that MindTree logo shown alongside. |
Bharti Airtel Logo - Design and History
 |
| Bharti Airtel is the world's fifth largest telecommunication company and has more than 150 million users in India, 40 million in Africa and another 10 million in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. In November 2010, Airtel said its subscriber base has crossed the 200 million mark and unveiled a new logo to mark the achievement. The logo as shown alongside is a modern representation of the letter 'a' on a bright red background. Here are some notes and comments from Bharti on their design
|
- The logo has been designed by creative agency JWT
- The entire re-branding campaign has apparently cost the company close to Rs 300-Crore
- A new theme tune, composed by A.R Rehman has also been released
Time Warner Cable Logo - Design and History

Time Warner Cable 2010 Logo |
Time Warner Cable Old Logo |
Time Warner Cable is an American national cable television company that operates in 27 states and has 31 operating divisions. In an effort to modernize its brand, Time Warner Cable revealed a redesigned logo in October 2010.
Time Warner Cable has kept its iconic eye and ear graphic, though it's emphasis is much more significant than before. In the old design, the symbol was only a small part of a long, rectangular logo. Now, the design is more square-shaped and the ear and eye graphic accounts for nearly half of the overall logo. Additionally, the logo uses a vibrant baby blue instead of the diluted navy color from its previous logo. Also, the word "cable" now holds the same weight as the words "Time Warner," which could indicate the company is putting renewed focus on its cable offerings.
Based on the design changes, I feel that this is not a major rehaul of their logo but small enough to maybe make a difference in the branding.
Some other notes on the logo -
- The new typeface uses a font based heavily on Stag Sans Round by Christian Schwartz
- The national cable company worked with design agency The Brand Union, which is owned by WPP.
