The Milan Icons crest: Duomo, star and cricket ball
The Duomo di Milano stands at the centre of the crest, the city’s most recognised landmark, drawn in gold on a black shield. A single gold star crowns its highest spire, a nod to ambition and to La Madonnina, who has watched over Milan from the top of the cathedral for centuries.
From the foot of the Duomo rises a cricket ball: the new sport finding its home in an old city. Below it, gold pillars echo the cathedral’s Gothic columns and the Milano Pinstripe of the city’s tailoring, while a double gold rim frames the shield as a symbol of protection and strength.
The wordmark sets MILAN in carved serif capitals with ICONS spaced beneath it. A small tricolore completes the mark. Read why Milan suits a cricket franchise in Milan Icons and the growth of cricket in Italy, or see the full identity on the About page.
