Hi Chris, I finally was able to get my design to a presentable state for your contest. I took the idea of what appeals to your participants most (beer) and then implemented the feeling of their 2nd favorite thing as well (sports and competition). The overall logo shape is that of a beer bottle cap, with an athletic font over the top.
This particular version shows how it would look on a black background, black shirt, black website, etc. I will post some additional color schemes next so you can see multiple options.
Let me know what you think in terms of color, content, etc. and I will be happy to provide some revisions as needed. Thanks!
I refined the type and games a bit, as well as made the entire thing a little bigger so that you can see the details better. I wish we could provide larger detailed portions of our work, but this will have to do for now! ;)
I forgot to mention the best part about this design--it would only be a 2-color print on t-shirts! (Here it is shown with flat colors for silk-screening onto red shirts.)
I also created a distressed/textured layer which can be turned on or off to give a cool vintage look and feel to the design on t-shirts and other things. This distressed texture is all on its own layer within the design, allowing for quick and easy turning on and off of it!
Sorry I have thrown so much at you in a short period of time. I wanted to get everything posted before your contest came too close to the end! ;)
We really like the BLACK/RED with the distressed texture. I am not really sure what you mean by quick and easy turning it off and on but I like the idea of having the clean look & also a distressed look. Thanks
Is there any way to add a CUP OF BEER or PING PONG BALL (or both) to the logo. We are doing 4 contests... pool, cornhole, darts, and beer pong and would like them all respresented in the logo.
Sounds good; I will get some revisions posted asap! Also, in reference to the distressed texture: I was just saying that any designer and/or printer can make it visible or invisible with a simple touch of a button.
Here is a revised design, per your requests. I will see what other possible layouts I can come up with that still looks great and incorporates all 4 games. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
And here is a flat-color version with the distressed texture turned off. (I also made the words "Bar Game" bigger and more prominent than the last one.)
Just for fun, I reversed the colors so that the red was black and the black was red, but it didn't look very good at all. Let me know if there are any additional variations you might want to change, and I will be happy to do so.
Also, if your contest hits Judging Mode, you can still have revisions done by your 1st place designer.
