The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup was the tenth Cricket World Cup, and was hosted by three South Asian Test cricket playing countries; India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

The event had a theme called "Celebration of Cricket" and the logo represents the theme. The logo was 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.
