Wrigley Field 100 Year Logo Contest

Posted on February 7, 2013 by Matt Huddleston

Wrigley Field doesn’t turn 100 years old until 2014, but that’s not stopping the Cubs from planning ahead. Recently announcing a rather intriguing contest, the Cubs are looking for a logo, designed by the fans, to commemorate the 100th year of baseball at Wrigley Field.

Basically, the Cubs are searching for logo submissions that somehow incorporate the 100th anniversary of Wrigley Field; how you choose to design the logo is up to you. The eligible logos received by the deadline, owrigleyn February 28th, will be judged on overall appearance, originality, creativity, style and quality of the design, with the finalists being announced next month.

The decision for which logo will be used will then be left up to the fans, as the finalists’ logo designs will be voted on throughout the entire months of March and April, with the winner being notified by April 30th.

The winning designer and a guest will receive a flight and accommodations in Chicago to be honored during a logo unveiling event before a late-summer home game at Wrigley Field. The winner will also receive two tickets to the game, as well as a personalized 2014 jersey. (This coming word for word from the contest’s details.)

Not a bad deal, for merely designing a logo.

If you’d like the chance to have your ‘Wrigley Field 100 Year’ logo featured by the Cubs throughout the 2014 season–showing up all over the place, including the possibility of a patch on the players’ jerseys–make sure to enter by the deadline, which, as stated, falls on the 28th.

I entered the logo contest earlier today, but, although I spent a couple of hours on it, my design, in my opinion, isn’t all that professional looking (I have no photoshop talent, whatsoever), so I’m not going to be posting a picture of the design on here. If it makes it past the initial judging round, and subsequently gets posted on the Cubs’ website to be voted on, then I’ll obviously write an article on it. But I really don’t see that happening.

On a much different note, I added a countdown calendar to the sidebar, on the right (below ‘Recent Posts’). At the moment it’s counting down to when pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, however, I’m planning to change it throughout all of 2013. So if ever you’re unsure of how long it is until an upcoming major MLB related event, you can check back with the countdown on the sidebar.
