Please vote for Prague to host Ultimus Bowl XLI!
Just peeking behind the curtain to look at my process, when I want to make a host city bid I try to look at interesting and new places to take the host city. More than that, I look for places with a strong and iconic history and iconography, as I find that translates extremely well to the logo making process. This season, I decided to try to pitch the league on taking the Ultimus (or mini) to Prague!
This city has been an important cultural and economic center for central Europe for centuries after its founding in the 8th Century CE, centering on the churches and castle founded at the center and eventually unfolding out. The city has also been an important political center for Bohemia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and now the Czech Republic. Today Prague remains an incredibly popular tourist destination, ranking just after London, Paris, Rome, and Istanbul as a top European destination. I believe that Prague is an excellent choice to host the biggest game in sim sports and I hope that hosting the Ultimus in the city will bring even more attention to the country and to central European region as a whole for ISFL audiences.
Into the logo! Prague is a beautiful city and a gorgeous display of Middle Ages and Renaissance architectures. The city is commonly called the "City of a Hundred Spires", with the current count of the number of building spires in the city estimated at 500. I wanted to capture some of the many beautiful city spires in this logo. I used the red and gold from the city along with a sampling of classic Gothic style fonts to tie that all together. I hope you all like it and consider voting for my entry.
