Of all the questions that come in, perhaps none is more common than “where’d you get that logo?” I always answer it, but wouldn’t it be more fun if, instead, it was the subject of this week’s Fun & Games segment – Name That Logo! Tell us what it is and where you saw it and you’ll be entered into the drawing for our weekly prize.

And you can get two entries in the drawing by sharing a story about it. What was your day like when you found it? Were you having a great day, or a terrible day? Did you find anything amazing that day our readers might want to hear about?
Let us know, good luck, and we’ll see you next week when the answer is revealed.

On October 17, the NBA China Games will begin with a game in Shanghai between the Cavaliers and the Magic at the Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena. The arena has a capacity of 13,779. The NBA chose Shanghai because of its international reputation, state-of-the art facilities, and because many NBA commercial partners are located nearby.
Subsequent games will take place in Macao at the Venetian Arena, which has a capacity of 15,000. On October 18, Magic will take on the China Men’s National Team, and there will be a rematch between Magic and the Cavaliers on October 20.
Tickets for the Shanghai game will go on sale in June, and they can be purchased online at the EMMA ticket website (www.emma.cn), the EMMA Ticket national call center (407-707-9999), and at the EMMA Ticket box offices and outlets in Shanghai, Beijine, Hangzhou, and Nanjing. Information about how to purchase tickets for the other games will be made available at a later date.
