For ten years, StarCraft has driven its rich and diverse history ever forward - from the advent of SC pro-gaming, to the birth of behemoth fan communities, like ours, to the legions of fans it has spawned - this game and it's community have "been there, done that". StarCraft has innovated, impacted, and shaped, not only the industry, but hundreds of thousands of lives. It's been ten years, and Blizzard Entertainment has not forgotten. Now it is your turn to give back to that history, to relive the glory days of your obsession. Today Blizzard has announced the "I <3 SC" project, which allows fans to download and print out an "I <3 SC" graphic on a standard 8.5"x11" piece of paper. With that banner you are to take or create creative pictures with it, anywhere, doing anything, and send them to Blizzard. With the thousands of submissions that will be received from all over the world, by people who, like you, found StarCraft and discovered its brilliance, Blizzard will be constructing a mosaic that will be shown at many of their upcoming events. Since he was one of the few that truly put his heart into the project that we all fell in love with, it is fitting that one of the original StarCraft artists, Samwise, would create the heart used in the logo. Consider the mosaic a monument to the memories, the friends, and the experiences that StarCraft has provided you over the last decade. With the release of the sequel imminent, StarCraft's legacy will be realized. Perhaps the glory days will return again.

Here are a few examples taken by Blizzard to start the mosaic:

This is a fantastic opportunity for the fans to be a physical part of that history. Additionally, fifty lucky participants will be selected randomly to win a t-shirt from Blizzard with the "I <3 SC" logo! StarCraft: Legacy is pleased to be able to take part in this community venture. All of us, having dedicated some portion of our lives to this game for the last decade, can say only that we love this game, truly and absolutely. For some of us it was much more than a hobby - it is a calling. We serve the community for various reasons but not the least of which is for the love of a game. In an era where young people are given the reputation for a short attention span - a decade is a very, very long time.

You can get your own copy of the printable logo here. Prepare yourself - get creative in remembering the last decade of StarCraft and anticipating the years to come!
