Background
Refreshed Visual Identity
On 13 November 2024, The ICC launched a brand-new visual identity for both the men’s and women’s Champions Trophy with an entertaining and distinctive edge, with the release of the ICC Champions Trophy brand launch video.[5] The newly created visual identity is a digital-first vibrant expression, with an unconventional typographic logo which sets the tone for the look – bold and loud, confident and fun, a thrilling two-week competition where every match counts. The brand-new women’s event provided with a great opportunity for a refreshed vibrant and fun visual identity to represent the events over the next few years.[6]
Format
Six teams will play each other in a Round Robin format, with the top two playing in the Final. It will comprise 16 games.
