LPL logo designer says process was a challenge

BY Bipin Dani   

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.
