Pāpāmoa Cricket Club logo origins

THE HILLS

Located in the bottom right corner, we find the majestic Pāpāmoa Hills, an iconic landmark for our community. These hills have long served as a source of protection and refuge for numerous hapū (families) residing in this area. Acting as a steadfast guardian, the Pāpāmoa Hills have witnessed the construction of marae and pā sites on elevated grounds throughout history, emphasizing their historical significance. As the sun gracefully sets behind these hills, it casts a warm orange hue, representing our club's colors. The vibrant green shade symbolizes Alice Johnson Oval and Gordon Spratt Reserve, further connecting our logo to these our local spaces.

With the 'beach' and the 'hills' in close proximity, it creates a space where AJO and GSR are embraced between them. This arrangement evokes a sense of grounding and rootedness. Both images, vividly reflecting the essence of Pāpāmoa, portraying the area through carefully selected colors. As the sun rises over the sea and sets behind the hills, an array of captivating hues emerges naturally, encapsulating the spirit of the region. Each color incorporated in the logo should evoke a connection to our pristine Pāpāmoa landscape. For instance, the golden sand depicted in the Motiti image and the lush green fields beneath the watchful gaze of the Pāpāmoa Hills.

THE CRICKET

Cricket wickets and the ball are inherently understandable. They are the very reasons that have united this group, serving as the core purpose behind our presence. The yellow below represents the pitch, and links back to the sandy beaches of Pāpāmoa

THE SHEILD

The shield establishes a connection between the images, presenting them as a harmonious entity that relies on one another. They form a symbiotic organism, with each component interlinking the other.
