This is good I like the look however we are trying to stay away from any type of shading as it is difficult to do print work on shirts, golf bags & hats.
I am not necessarily looking for the standard golf ball or golfer silhouette. Looking for something that can be branded and recognized when they see it. Simple, yet classy looking and 2 colour is key to the logo. We are trying to portray a higher end clubhouse feel.
#27 green needs to be the darker shade I feel like in #26. I would like the logo to be the same height as width for shirt and hat printing. Also golf bags do not print well in long lengths.
I am not sold on the text just yet I dont feel it represents class. However dont make it to scriptina like because it is hard to read from far away. A platinum badge or gold stars is great as it represents awards and levels of excellence.
Also remember that the text will be just as important as the logo when separated as we are building a brand awareness thru visual when separate. (eg Mercedes Benz symbol is known by the 3 star circle / Apple by the logo) Can you try to do something abstract or golf related around the golf ball maybe?
