The Toronto Star launched a Toronto Raptors National Logo Contest. As a big Raptor fan, I decided to enter. I won the Grand Prize as selected by Fashion Designer Christopher Bates, Toronto Raptors Forward Amir Johnson and Toronto Star Raptors beat reporter Doug Smith. Ultimately the Raptors did a complete brand tear-down with a Toronto agency but this was still a cool moment for me personally as a diehard NBA fan.
