I really like the ideas behind this, however we might want to get away from the shield as that is in our current logo. Also, I like the coach figure, but we need to tailor to all ages and genders.
Things that make you think of coaching: Clipboard Knowledge Leadership Action Learning
Make ball look more like rugby ball instead of football, take away tie to make more gender neutral. The clipboard seems a bit like a picture frame, if we could scale just a little to make it more like a clipboard. Also, switch 'Coach Dept.' to Coach Development that would be great. Lastly can we change our mission statement 'Inspiring America to Fall in Love with Rugby' to 'Better Coaches, Better Players, Better Rugby'
This is something we will want to use as logo on T-shirts, etc. So keep that in mind. I am really liking this, and I really appreciate your flexibility with feedback and talent.
Thanks for your words... I really appreciate them :)
I ve just submitted some variations with you feedback...
Let me know your opinion... I think the logo would be pretty good on T-shirts, there are only two colors, red and blue (Maybe 3 with the tagline in grey, but we can turn it to the same blue in order to save some money ;)
