Don’t let the name fool you. Logo’s newest show A-List may sound a little like the A-Team, but it’s exactly the opposite. To mark the premiere tonight, they’ve partnered with foursquare to award the A-List Badge. Users who follow Logo on foursquare and check in to two gay bars, restaurants or gyms will unlock the badge (see update below).

Anyone who earns the badge will be automatically entered into a sweepstakes for a chance to win $1000.

A-List comes from the producers of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. It follows six members of New York’s gay elite, along with their families and girlfriends as they “navigate being fabulous in the city.”

In addition to offering the badge, Logo has left tips at many of the venues nominated for or awarded TripOut Gay Travel Awards. They’ve also left tips from some of the stars of their shows, including A-List and The Arrangement.

Logo is a network primarily targeted to the LGBT community. It’s a property of MTV Networks, who are no stranger to foursquare badges, having previously offered the VH1 Fanatic, Moonman and GYT badges. Past partnerships between MTV and foursquare have resulted in numerous on-air mentions for foursquare, so it’s likely there will be some form of promotion involved in the Logo deal as well.

What do you think of foursquare’s latest partnership with MTV Networks?

UPDATE: Logo’s foursquare profile originally said the badge could be unlocked by checking in to two gay bars, restaurants or gyms. A representative from Logo wrote to let me know that it was incorrect and was corrected around noon today. They added that the locations previously listed definitely will not unlock the badge. The profile page now reads:

if you follow LogoTV and check in at some of the top spots in town, you’ll receive your “A-List” badge

As usual, it’s unclear exactly how you unlock the badge.
