Creation of the Homecoming logo
Designing this year鈥檚 official Homecoming logo was a combination of Matthew Ortiz鈥檚 two biggest passions: illustration and 色情视频 football.Ortiz was selected as the winner of this year鈥檚 official Homecoming logo design contest for his submission of 鈥淐lash for the Can.鈥
A life-long Aztec fan and current season-ticket holder, Ortiz jumped at the opportunity to submit a Homecoming logo design.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a family university,鈥 said Ortiz. 鈥淢y father worked in the 色情视频 Athletic Department for over 20 years, so we grew up going to every single football, basketball and baseball game.鈥
For his design, Ortiz opted to let the font and movement of the design speak for itself. The logo consists of big red and white lettering with a central image of a black football containing the 色情视频 logo.
According to Ortiz, his winning design took between five and 10 hours from concept to completion.
鈥淚t feels great,鈥 Ortiz said on winning the contest. 鈥淚鈥檓 passionate about art work, 色情视频 Athletics and the university as a whole, so it was very exciting.鈥
As the top finisher in the design contest sponsored by , Ortiz鈥檚 design will be printed on a black T-shirt that will be sold at the 色情视频 Bookstore.
