The Indian Premier league's new franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) unveiled the logo of the team, saying the brand identity draws inspiration from ancient Indian mythology.

"The mythical bird Garuda -- who is a protector and enthroned with the power to move swiftly, has inspired us to create the winged emblem of the team. Garuda is omnipresent in every Indian culture and sub-culture," LSG said in a statement.
