Dan, here is the logo I came up with for this year's tourney. I wanted to combine the look and feel of traditional football club crests, with a newer more modern font & feeling. There are 29 stars within the design as well, although they're partially blocked by the ball of course--if it is critical that all 29 be visible, I can look into reworking the design. Otherwise, I think it works great, as is.
Also, I can easily convert this into a 2-color flat version for silkscreening/embroidery, as needed. I hope you like it! Thanks!
A transparent background would be no problem. Thanks for checking! Let me know if there is anything else you may want to see changed, and I will be happy to help.
It looks like you're the winner - congrats!!!! However, we do need some small tweeks. I can get around using illustrator (enough to make me dangerous). The "committee" would like to see "29 stars" in your design and the words "29th Annual Memorial Day Tournament" and "May 27 - 29, 2011." I think we can text wrap most of it.
If you can make those modifications that would be great. I'm working on CS2, so please save the file for that. As far as the text, if you could ....don't "create outlines" in case I need to change any verbiage (I can do that later). Sorry - I hope I don't sound like a "pain in the a#$" - I just hope this stops us (you and I) from going back and forth. I'm sure I'm going to have to change some things for THEM (speaking of "pain in the a#$") so they feel important!!!
If you have any questions, email my personal email at danielmcevilly@yahoo.com or feel free to call my cell at 734-365-4890. I'm going to post the winner now. Just so you know, this is one of the largest tournaments in the country (looking at about 700 teams this year) so you logo will be in front of about 40,000 players and fans.
