    About the tournament logo:
    The tournament logo was unveiled in Mumbai on 2 April
    2011.

    More than just a symbol of cricket, the tournament logo is
    an expression of the Australian and New Zealander culture
    that highlights the unique flavour that will characterise the
    ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 to the millions of international
    cricket fans.

    The tournament logo brings together indigenous motifs
    from both Australian (Aboriginal) and New Zealand (Maori)
    indigenous cultures to form the distinctive shape of a
    batsman playing a hook shot.

    The Maori and Aboriginal motifs signify toughness, glory,
    resilience, connection and belonging.

    Each element of the tournament logo contributes to building the story of the ICC's flagship event
    featuring the best players in the world competing for The Cup That Counts. The selected motifs
    are:
    Maori Tohora symbolising toughness, pride and tribal culture.
    Aboriginal journey tracks symbolising spirit of the land.

    The colours of the tournament logo are inspired by the Australian and New Zealand natural
    landscapes.
