Here are some of my proposals. Instead of creating a separate icon / typography combination, I've created an all encompassing logo / unit. One that can be used for additional elements just as branding stamps, watermarks, shirt badges/embroidery etc.
The logos are 100% vector so will scale well to any size, and works well in full colour, B&W and on coloured backgrounds if needed,
It would be my pleasure to work up any variations so please do say. I look forward to your comments or thoughts.
A few variations with #38, #39 and #40 to show that the logo can work in B&W and also if you decided to have coloured shirts, the logo could work in either white or a colour.
I am very impressed with your work. You are definitely my number 1 choice. I am going to present the top five to a commitee of friends to get their thoughts. I really want to make a series of hats, polos, etc as gifts for members. Will it be a problem getting different color variations and file types from you even past the closing of the contest?
Thanks for the great comments, always appreciated! And of course after showing the committee, if you'd like see changes don't hesitate to ask! With regards to the colour versions and file options - not a problem at all, would be my pleasure.
I hate this, but the others picked the one with the checkerboard logo (not my choice). My email is bhambroker@gmail.com . Shoot me an email, i want to work with you on this logo in the future for apparel. In the meantime i have to choose the other guy for the contest. I would like to buy your logo as well. Let's discuss.
