The Colorado Raptors are embarking on the journey to create a new logo for the team so that we can get some sweet merch in the new SHL shop.  Given the level of graphics talent on this site, we are holding a contest to uncover the best new logo that SHL money can buy.  Not only is this a great opportunity to earn a generous prize, it is an opportunity to make your mark on the league with a logo that will be worn by both sim players and real humans.

The Colorado management team is opening up their virtual wallets in a big way to incentivize maximum participation and ultimately get the nicest logo possible. The prize structure is as follows:

*EDIT:  @"Luketd" is generously donating to increase the prize pool to honor the legendary Colorado Goalie Scotty Crawfling (with special a nod to @notorioustig)


1st Prize:  $15 million
2nd Prize: $10 million
3rd Prize: $5 million


Some general guidelines:
We would like to keep our current color scheme, other than dropping the use of multiple blues.  We would like the main color to be royal blue, with the yellow as an accent, along with the use of white and/or black.  The colors do not have to be the exact current hex code of our current colors if you have an eye for a better shade (preferably not bright yellow).
We would like to keep the raptor to the dinosaur variety (not a bird, fighter jet, or other variation of the word).
We would prefer a logo without words in it.  Tying in a "C" for Colorado could be acceptable if it looks cool.
If you submit the winner, there is the possibility that we may ask you to make minor changes.
Multiple submissions are allowed.


Submissions will be due on Sunday, January 3rd at 11:59 EST.  Please send submissions to me onsite or on discord (LordBirdman#8555) and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. The management team does have a few ideas in mind if you would like inspiration, however we will ultimately pick what we find to be the best logo.  Good luck and we look forward to the submissions!
