2015 World Cup logo unveiled

[Santana]

Very good effort IMO.

 

[whats_at_stake]

Should be a a great tournament- logo looks good. I believe Australia and New Zealand are sharing the games equally? Hopefully the final is at the MCG. Not sure how this will affect AFL but you would think the AFL would delay their season by a few weeks.

So international tournaments (which are my favourite) coming up:
2012- World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka
2013- England- I believe the Champions Trophy is meant to played but the ICC may replace it with the first Test Championship instead
2014- World Twenty20 in Bangladesh

then the 2015 World Cup. One major tournament every year and I like it this way:

Year 1: ICC ODI World Cup
Year 2: ICC World Twenty20
Year 3: ICC Test Championships
Year 4: ICC World Twenty20

Repeat.

will iran boycott because it resembles the world Zion???

 

[alfy!]

We are hosting this WC with NZ? Awesome.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Surely we could host a world cup on our own FFS.

New Zealand will only have matches involving New Zealand.

 

[Selective Retention]

It is obviously inspired by aboriginal (legs, bat) and maori (body, arms, head) art work. Don't really see the correlation of that to cricket but looks ok.

I remember reading somewhere that NZ will get half the games- not 100% on this though.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Does anyone think the speculation that this could be the last World Cup (for ODIs) is probable?

Wikipedia (source of all knowledge) says "The location of the games will be evenly split, with the location of the final yet to be decided.".

It's called World Twenty20. Grinds my gears when people erroneously call the Twenty20 event 'World Cup'.

yes but NZ can't and in any case if we made them host by themselves instead of getting one WC every 20 years we'd get one every 40 years. so.

Edited above. Know what you mean. I am quite similar when people refer to tie's as draws in cricket and spell Twenty20 as 20/20.

Games in Berri and Albury again please.

 

[stmookeyj]

It needs to be changed, it's now to be called the World Invitation now that the teams have been hand picked.

 

[damochandler]

shouldn't it be more green yellow and black

Only prob I can see is that when it's used in thumbnail form it'll be hard to make head or tail of it.

Awesome logo!

Agreed, we've got more than enough venues, I know it's not all about that but still...
