Yes, yes we do.I managed to get my hands on the real mission statement of the ABA, interesting parts include "to gain media profile by promoting an entertaining product, beginning with the naming of teams"..... there was other bull jargon in there too.Alright, lets get on with this contest. Let's have some fun!We all Love the ABA Contest What you have to do: Name a new ABA team, and design a logo for it.Criteria for the contest:1- Must use a red, white and blue ball in the logo2- Must use the letter z atleast twice (or if not, the name must be equally lame)The logo is all that would be required.Categories: Instead of the standard first, second, third placings getting awards and voted for, this contest will mix it up. We are gonna have fun. 1- Overall best design2- Best name3- Most comedic value4- Best use of the letter 'Z'5- Most mind-boggling nameand if i think of anything else, or you guys can suggest other categories too)An entry for one is an entry for all categories so you'll all be able to win any category.(Voting will be for best overall, best name, comedy instead of 3,2,1, if that makes sense)Contest opens: February 4, 2008 (US time, the 5th AUS time)Contest closes: February 18, 2008 (US time, the 19th AUS time) -- WILL POST A 24HR WARNING TO THE EXACT TIME CONTEST WILL ENDVoting will take place for the following five days, so will officially end on the 23rd (US)/ 24th (AUS)To enter: Design your logo and email it as a jpeg file to wafa.mattmorris1990@gmail.com with the following in the subject line: CCSLC_yournamePrizes: Winners will get a specially designed signature/banner/thing.

ShinyHubCaps Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Ha, I like this contest. We haven't had a lot of contests lately, especially Sketch-a-thons or Logolympiads.Count me in. Is there any limitation on the cities we choose? Also, could it be a state or region name (such as NBA Utah Jazz or Golden State Warriors) rather than a city?

chestnutz Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 haha! yes this will be great. I've been waiting for a contest, thought of starting one myself but don't think I have much of a status on these boards haha. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Can't draw anything for squat, but here's a name in case someone's not feeling any inspiration in that area:(Insert city name here) Zebraz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Can't draw anything for squat, but here's a name in case someone's not feeling any inspiration in that area:(Insert city name here) Zebraz.After seeing concepts on this board, I've concluded that I can no longer draw for squat. But that won't keep me from entering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
