SAN ANTONIO - Here's your chance to be a part of San Antonio sports history. Fans have already come up with the name of San Antonio’s the new pro soccer team --- “The Scorpions.” Now they are asking fans to design the logo.
Everyone is invited to submit ideas. Email your logo design to jlizardo@starsoccersa.com by 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 4. You can also drop off your art work at the South Texas Area Regional (STAR) Soccer Complex at Thousand Oaks and Wurzbach Parkway next to Morgan’s Wonderland.
The winning logo will be chosen by the fans. A panel of judges from STAR Soccer, the San Antonio Scorpions FC, Morgan’s Wonderland and The Gordon Hartman Family Foundation will narrow the submissions to three finalists.
The “Design Our Team Logo” finalist garnering the most votes from Scorpions fans will win a prize package consisting of $1,000 in cash, a VIP outing for 20 guests at a 2012 Scorpions home game and a selection of team gear such as a hat, team jersey and t-shirts bearing the new logo. The two runners-up each will receive a team jersey and 10 tickets to a 2012 Scorpions home game.
“The logo design should convey the toughness and feistiness South Texas scorpions are known for,” said Gordon Hartman, who’s heading Soccer for a Cause, the community-wide campaign that’s bringing pro soccer to San Antonio to further boost the sport’s growing popularity and to benefit Morgan’s Wonderland, the world’s first ultra-accessible family fun park designed with special-needs individuals of all ages in mind. “If you’ve ever been stung by a scorpion, you know what kind of wallop they pack. We’re confident our team will display similar tenacity on the playing field.”
Fans who vote in the team logo selection process will be entered in a drawing, and the winner chosen at random will receive a package of team gear and four tickets to a Scorpions game. In order to vote, a fan must submit his or her contact information, and he or she can cast not more than one ballot a day.
