Conditional string comparison failing for basename/slug

I am trying to display a particular block of html for one page in particular. I have created a conditional statement that compares the basename of the page to my string.

?php if ( has_tag( 'Sponsor' )  basename( get_permalink() != 'sponsor-one') ) : // show sponsor's footer if applicable ?
div class="sponsor-footer ?php echo basename( get_permalink() ); ?"
    pOur text here/p
/div
?php elseif ( has_tag( 'Sponsor' )  basename( get_permalink() == 'sponsor-one') ) : // show sponsor one's footer if applicable ?
div class="sponsor-footer ?php echo basename( get_permalink() ); ?"
    pOur other text here/p
/div
?php endif; ?

It always outputs the first block of code even when the slug is "sponsor-one".

If I var_dump( basename( get_permalink() ) ); I get string(11) "sponsor-one", so why is it saying that the basename is not equal to "sponsor-one"?

The 2nd part of the condition seems wrong

basename( get_permalink() != 'sponsor-one') should be basename( get_permalink() ) != 'sponsor-one'

Please check where the parenthesis ends. Also in your code if that is the only condition, then you can have an else statement instead of having another elseif.
