3 THE LOGO The logo for both the men s and women s tournaments contains patterns that represent the indigenous cultures of the countries hosting the Rugby League World Cup 2017: New Zealand, Australia and Papua New Guinea. The shape of the logo is based on that of the trophy. NEW ZEALAND [on the top]: The koru symbolises new life, regeneration, growth, strength and peace. It is an integral symbol of Māori art, carving and tattoos. AUSTRALIA [left side]: The symbol, inspired by Indigenous Australian art, represents players travelling to the Rugby League World Cup, which is shown as the circle the meeting place. PAPUA NEW GUINEA [right side]: The Kundu or drum is the national PNG symbol and is featured in their coat of arms. The drum is common in all PNG provinces and mainly used in cultural dancing.
