The 2016 NBA All Star game in Toronto may have just had its logo leaked.
The 2016 NBA All-Star Game will be the 65th edition and will be played at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, home of the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors were awarded the All-Star Game in an announcement in September of 2013. The logo for the game MAY have just been leaked.

It has the appearance of good, elegant logo, with the Toronto skyline incorporated including the CN Tower. It makes you wonder if Drake helped out.

This will be the first time that the NBA All Star game will be held on international soil, even though Toronto has an NBA team, they have yet to host the All-Star game.
One of the trademarks of NBA All-Star game is branding for the city that hosts it, as features from the city or what their known for is typically incorporated into the logo. It looks like Toronto has done a good job of that, if this is in fact their logo, with the notable Toronto skyline and CN Tower as well as the Canadian symbol of the Maple Leaf between “All” and “Star”.
Look for the NBA All-Star game to gain a lot of hype going into the 2016 year as Toronto is known to have one of the truer fan bases in the NBA. If breakout Toronto star Kyle Lowry can repeat as an All-Star in 2016, you can expect a loud and proud Air Canada Centre.
