Sri Lanka’s 24-year-old Mechanical Engineering student Miyulika Weeramanthree is proud to be the winner of the contest to design the LPL (Lanka Premier League) logo.
“It was an open invitation for this competition and with the support of my parents and friends I participated and won the One Thousand Dollars prize-money,” he said over the telephone from Kandy.
“I am really proud to be able to create the logo for the international-brand cricket league to be played in my country. I am very happy and proud that my choice of the design was approved.”
It took about two weeks for Weeramanthree to give the final touch to his design.
“Actually, it took a long time to formulate the concept. I first started with pencil sketches. Erased few, corrected few and then this final design was reached. I added different colors. It was quite a difficult task,” he added.
This was Weeramanthree’s first design work on a cricket-related theme. He is an experienced logo and brand identity designer and in this profession for the last four years. He has managed more than 1000 international projects individually and with colleagues on freelance platforms.
Incidentally, the logo designer is a cricket-fan.
“ I enjoy watching the Sri Lankan team and don’t miss a single match played in Kandy. I have been watching World Cup matches on TV. He will also be at the stadium for the LPL matches this season.”
“I am very happy to be able to do something that will be remembered in the history of Sri Lanka cricket. Special thanks to SLC and the LPL organising committee and the IPG group for providing this opportunity,” he signed off.
