Zoom Team Minnesota Gets Ready for the Gay Games Here at All Terrain we’re helping North Americans get ready for the 2010 Gay Games in Cologne, Germany, July 31 to August 7. Just like in the Olympics, athletes march into the stadium at Opening Ceremony. Athletes from the USA enter by state, and Team Minnesota asked us to help them come up with a logo that they could put on their uniforms and trading pins. We drew our inspiration from the forests of Minnesota, the “10,000 lakes” motto, plus the Minnesota state flag and other motifs using the “North Star.” Our original design had 19 stars … but we reduced it down to just one because it seemed too many. Why 19? Minnesota was the 19th state admitted to the Union AFTER the original 13. Who knew?
