Graphic Design Contests

**TimmyP** · 10-02-2006, 06:29 AM

Hi all

First post as I only came across this forum via a web search and it might be just what I'm after.

Basically I'm the manager/kit man for our football team (in England) and we need a new crest for our new football kit. We've got an Adidas white shirt with black detail and so would like a crest to fit the front of the shirt. We wouldn't like it too big, more standard sized if possible. The number and lettering on our kit is black, so really I'm after something rather simplistic. Even a simple black/white logo would suffice. We wouldn't like something "too in your face," just simple but classy at the same time.

Our team name is FTG - I dont really mind if you use FTG FC or simply FTG as the text.

We are on a bit of a budget which is why I can only offer $20USD for the best logo, which will be paid via paypal.

I think the logo needs to saved in a format that can be printed in store via their printing equipment. I'm guessing there's standard formats for this?

I hope thats a good enough description of what I'm after. Thanks in advance and I look forward to seeing some designs.

Cheers

Tim

May i ask what ur team mascot is?

**Critizin** · 10-02-2006, 09:26 AM

Heres my entry Note that i can replace the dragon with ur team mascot if u so choose me to

**TimmyP** · 10-02-2006, 09:52 AM

Thanks for your submission.

We don't really have a mascot to be honest as we're only a small team. I'm open to any suggestions/designs really.

I'm meeting one of the other lads who helps run the team tonight, so any designs in the next few hours would be really helpful.

Thanks all once more.

What do u think of mine? any ways i could improve it?

**TimmyP** · 10-02-2006, 11:16 AM

Its certainly a decent design, although in a way, I'd like it to be a bit "cleaner" if you can see where I'm coming from? I.e. less of the black/white circular dots etc.....and maybe a slight change to the font style for "FTG"? Something a bit clearer maybe?

Just a quick further note, the goalkeeping shirt is a golden yellow colour, so it would have to look right on that too.....

Thanks

Is this any cleaner? I think this crest would look good on any color all u gotta do is tell the place that is putting the crest on the shirt that u want everything that is white in the crest to be the same color as the shirt so if the shirt was gold the dragon the font and all that would be gold.. and on the white shirt it would be white so it would look like the picture above

i tell you what though i wear this on my jersey :P lol

**TimmyP** · 10-02-2006, 11:55 AM

Like it.

Don't want to sound too picky, but can you do something that isn't circular. Just so I can get a comparison of how different shapes/designs would look?

Thanks

**Juice Daddy** · 10-02-2006, 12:58 PM

I suppose I can try...

whats with the dragon?

**TimmyP** · 10-02-2006, 01:23 PM

There's no real reason for the dragon, its just an idea. And I'm open to all idea's really!

Thanks in advance again.

**CannonBallGuy** · 10-02-2006, 01:33 PM

Here's my try, hope you like the devil

- CBG

**Critizin** · 10-02-2006, 02:22 PM

Cannonballguy i like it but since its an english team dont u think it should be more England looking lol.... i mean look at the manchester united crest

Also MANCHESTER UNITED FTW there the best team i tryed to make my crest look england like.. lol and i dont think gloss look goes wells on shirts.

**Critizin** · 10-02-2006, 02:29 PM

Also i can take the circle off and show u what it would look like without the circle.

**Critizin** · 10-02-2006, 02:59 PM

here it is with out the circle.

**CoMmAnDo** · 10-02-2006, 04:11 PM

lol, I don't know about the guys here from the US, but in europe, football is the most loved game, the best game, something every european man never misses, nothing like going on a football match with your friends

and also, I'm a Manchester United fan since I know what is football

I'll definately give this one a try, but too tiredtonight, so I'll make somethin tomorow

It's a hell good feeling to make an emblem for a football team

**TimmyP** · 10-03-2006, 05:12 AM

Woosh, I like that design a lot. Simple but effective. I would say thats deffo my fave so far....

**Critizin** · 11:01 AM

O.o Nice woosh... isnt that a stock photo though so pretty much all u did was add a circle a square and some text O.O lol... Edit: Not trying to be mean woosh just stating and also dont u think its kinda small graphics tend to need to be standard 500x500 to fit on shirts...
