The Lanka Premier League 2022 launched a new logo for the tournament, heading into the third edition of Sri Lanka’s topmost domestic T20 league, with an international flavour.
The new logo depicts multiple facets of Sri Lanka and was designed by an ardent fan of the Lanka Premier League (LPL), following a fan competition conducted to develop a creative new LPL logo.
The new logo is mainly created around the ‘Lion symbol’ thus symbolizing the courage, determination, boldness, and strength of the nation that holds the competition, while the batsman depicted in the logo shows the power, energy, and excitement revolving around T20 cricket.
The multiple colors used in the logo announce the beginning of a ‘cricket fiesta’, thus bringing entertainment, excitement, and enjoyment for the fans, not only in Sri Lanka but the world over.
“As the Lanka Premier League is continuing to pursue its growth pathway to reach the full potential the game can offer, while entertaining fans, and adding value to the stakeholders, I consider this new logo, which looks simple, clear, and yet dynamic, will help the said process,” said Samantha Dodanwela, Tournament Director of the Lanka Premier League.
The new logo was designed by 24-year-old Miyulika Weeramanthree from Kandy, who participated and took part in the competition, launched by the Lanka Premier League to seek suitable logo designs.
Miyulika was recognised during the logo launch held at Sri Lanka Cricket on October 20 and was awarded a price of US$ 1000.
