Here is my design idea for your golf tour: a prestigious emblem that will look great when placed anywhere, #39. Let me know what you think of this type of design for your design—I wanted to try a completely new direction from what you currently had in front of you.
Some revised designs for your review: #54, #55, #56, #57
As you can see, we can make the emblem it's own separate thing, which would look great on shirts and other merch. I also added a grunge pattern over the top, as that would give t-shirts and other things a really cool vintage look!
These look great, but the only issue I'm facing with the entire shield concept, is that is part of our competitor's logo. I like your vision, but I don't know if I could do the shield.
