South Florida LightningLogo Design Contest

I like the concept for the front of the jerseys. would like an edgier font. Definitely want the lightning bolt in the spelling. I want a baseball combined with lightning bolt for the hats and sleeve.

Getting closer. Like the idea and concept. An edgier font maybe...Similar to the NFL Carolina Panthers font. Need separate appearance for the front of the jerseys and a baseball combined with lightning bolt for the hats. We like the second concept better but probably need to remove the clouds. Main color on jerseys is Carolina Blue with black trim. Logo should be in black lettering with white outline.

hi catlette,
i uploaded a new version with a new font that i created specifically for your team. its 100 % original from scratch. hope you like it. also i included the baseball/lightning bolt in the same design - not that they will be used specifically like this, but just so you could see. made it on a carolina blue background so you can see what it would look like on a jersey.

i also realized i spelled Florida wrong in those first 2 entries..oops! anyway its corrected on this version. let me know if i can do anything else. thanks.

#13 is cool. Everyone seems to like this one. It's edgy and has the components we are looking for. It appears we could separate the bolt and the ball for the hats. Getting close! Very cool.

#6 Can you add the baseball to the end over the n and g as in #7

Hi Todd,
I uploaded a couple more based on your latest feedback. let me know if there are any other improvements you think i can make. Thanks.

#27 Here is one more with the more extreme lettering and the baseball/bolt tied into it.

Thanks.
Kyle

#13 Can you incorporate red for the stitches on the baseball?

Kyle,
We like your concepts. You are providing the type of logo with the elements we were hoping for.
Todd

#27 Kyle,
Can you have the right hand tip of the lightning bolt come into the baseball between the stitches and only go about half way through the ball?
Todd

here are a couple with the bolt coming out of the ball. one with red stitches and one with the blue.

#32 Here is one with more realistic stitching.

As far as #'s go - I only made the letters in the word Lightning, since the lettering was made from scratch - so i haven't made any others yet. but for the # 16 - a good way to show you would be to have you look at the 'IG' in Lightning. Basically to make the 16 i would add a little nub to the left side of the I and close up the G to make it look more like a 6.

Kyle

#33 with red stitches

#50 Here is the other logo with red stitches.

In my opinion, the one you have in first is much better than this one....your direction made that logo turn out better than I imagined. I'm proud to have made it. I think its heads and tails above this one, but that is for you to decide.

Thanks again for the continued feedback.

Kyle

#33 Special K, This is still our overall favorite. I need to see it with a white background and Carolina Blue lettering with a black edge. I also need to see and be able to use the lightning bolt and baseball stand alone for their hats. Can you show me what numbers look like in this font style. Please use #16 for illustration.
Thanks,
Todd

i uploaded the other versions as you mentioned above. let me know if there is anything else you need to see. Thanks.

#33, #91, #92. Special K,
We love it. You hit the nail on the head. Very cool. One question, what font do you use as I will need numbers for 18-20 players plys a couple of coaches. I want to be sure that we can recreate this look. You have done a fantastic creation that is very cool and exactly what we were hoping for. Love it. Please let us know as thime is running out and you are our FIRST CHOICE.
Todd

since its custom, its not a 'font' you can just add to your computer.....but i can provide the #'s for you. I already have made the 1 & 6 - and 9 is just a 6 flipped - and i can make a 7 very easily from a 1 so i'm already basically half way done :) . not a problem.

Kyle

Kyle,
I won't know all the numbers until this coming weekend. Can I email you after this contest with a list of all 20-25 numbers we actually need? I'd like to have the same look acroos the board. These kids will be playing in National Championships, Junior Olympics, Forida State Championships so your logo creation/artwork will get exposed to many thousand over the course of this next year and beyond.
Todd

that would work - but i also think if i get you all the #'s (0-9) and send each # to you as an individual file, then the company who will make/print your hats & uniforms can match the correct to #'s together for each jersey (meaning we wouldn't make each kids # - the uniform printer would match the correct 2 individual #'s up for each jersey to make the correct number (1 + 6 = 16)).....does that make sense?

Kyle,
I am an idiot because I did not think of that. You are of course correct, please create 1-9 but I also need ZERO. Please do that and you are going to win. Everyone I have shared this with loves your idea and creation. It really is everything we were hoping for. Excellent work and thank you for both color variations as we need Home and Away uniforms.
Todd

Kyle,
Great work. My personal email is; catlette@comcast.net and todd@southfloridalightning.org
Thank you!
