Choose My Logo Contest
Published on September 29, 2008 by Paul Raymond · No Comments
After 7 months I think its time My Sports Rumors finally holds a contest. I’ll be the first to admit I’m completely horrible with graphics. That’s why this site has no real logo and even why we had a horrible 125×125 ad for months upon months. That’s all changed thou thanks to my buddy Matt over at Michigan Rafter. He’s helped create 4 logos, all 125×125 size, that I could use for advertising at other locations. The contest will involve you the readers choosing which one is the best! So pretty much you submit your vote to which one you like the best and then you’re eligible to win a CASH PRIZE! Yes, a CASH PRIZE!
Here are the prizes:
First place – $50 (via paypal)
Second place – $25 (via paypal)
Third place – 2,000 Entrecard Credits ($12 cash value), payable in two installments due to EC’s new rules.
Alright so let’s get under way, I’ll show you the graphics and my thoughts on each one. Afterward, I’ll tell you how to earn even more chances to win!
Logo 1 – Nice picture of the Chicago White Sox celebrating their World Series win a few years back. As of now they’ve even got a chance to get back there. When you think about it teams don’t win without the off-season rumors. There is always a significant off-season or trade deadline move that helps propel a team to greatness. And how do those rumors begin? As rumors of course.
Logo 2 – This picture completely tells how some players hate talking to the media. Why? Because rumors get started and then the players have to discuss it. Not fun especially when you’re a possible trade candidate or on a losing team. What I like about it? It shows that not all rumors are pleasant. The other reason, I like the color scheme as the My Sports Rumors really stands out.
Logo 3 – This picture explains pretty much what we cover, sports. We focus on baseball and football but do occasionally dabble in the other sports. What I really like about this logo is the simplicity. It’s just what is used in each of the sports, and definitely screams out to the reader this is a sports site. There is no wondering if you will find what you want if you click on it.
Logo 4 – This one shows in a way how far rumors can go. Brett Favre lit the blog and major news outlets on fire all summer long with his back and forth on retirement. You couldn’t look anywhere with out seeing a rumor about the great one. So this logo to me says here is a place for rumors.
So there you go those are all the logos.
Now time for the contest directions. Pay attention cause it only benefits you to follow the rules as there are bonus entries for doing various things.
THE DEADLINE FOR ENTRY IS OCTOBER 20TH.
Step #1 – Post a comment here with which logo you like the best. That will earn you 5 entries.
Step #2 – Create a post about this contest on your blog (Include the link to your post in that comment)- A bonus of 5 entries.
Step #3 – Subscribe to My Sports Rumors RSS feed. A bonus of 3 entries.
My Sports Rumors is also very active in social media. We participate very actively at Ball Hype, somewhat on Yardbarker and Twitter. You get 1 bonus entry for each. In your comment tell us what name you added me under on those sites to get proper credit. If you already follow me on those sites let us know and you will receive proper credit.
THE DEADLINE FOR ENTRY IS OCTOBER 20TH.
Unfortunately I’m most active at StumbleUpon and that is the one place I can’t give you any entries for. But feel free to friend me there as I have a very deep list of quality subscribers.
Ok so its not to difficult of a contest and there is a nice cash prize. For bloggers that could be some easy advertising money for you. For non-bloggers it could help fill the gas tank 
Again, THE DEADLINE FOR ENTRY IS OCTOBER 20TH.
Good luck everyone and THANK YOU very much for your support and opinions!

I like logo #3 – shows a variety of sports that may be of discussion when it comes to rumors.
I will have to select # 3 as my choice for your logo. I do enjoy the others ones, but I think this is the best one to represent your site.
It was a hard choice, because I am a White Sox fan and I wanted to select # 1.
By the way, I did post about this contest on my site when I included it in a review of your Blog.
