Thank you to everyone that submitted work for the contest, I especially enjoyed the MS Paint memes. After a lot of work and iteration, we've found the new logo and branding for the Portland Pythons! Thank you to @Number 82 and @Jo3fish5, the second and third place finishers in our contest respectively, for their great work and contribution.

Without further ado, I'd like to present the new logo for the Portland Pythons, created by our contest winner, @Slothman07:

A huge thank you to Slothman07 (a rookie to the league!!) for working with me and transforming my early sketches into this fantastic logo. Our logo now better represents the city of Portland and the branding as a whole. We took the 4-pointed star shape at the center of our logo from the flag of the city of Portland. The secondary star shape mimics that earlier influence while also alluding to the compass rose and to Porland's historic marine and shipping industries. The green color also comes from the flag, while the white primary color and the orange secondary color come from the scale coloration of the albino Burmese python. We're super excited to bring this new era to the team and to see this new logo on the helmets of the next generations of Pythons.

I can't say enough about Slothman07, who brought so much of their talent and hard work to this project. I wish I could give you everything in my bank account for all of the work you did to help realize this idea. Thank you for dealing with me making you do like 100 different iterations of the different logos you presented. And a big thank you to everyone that has worked in the Portland rebranding team over the last couple of months!
