Here is the logo I came up with for you. I wanted to be both playful/welcoming to kids, as well as professional enough to appeal to adults. I hope you like the nod to hockey, as I know that is your main focus. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
Here is an alternate layout, with everything contained within the crest logo. Either one would work great (although this one is probably more versatile), depending on the main application of your logo. Also, the puck can be easily swapped out for any other sport, if needed, while still incorporating the play button!
Thanks for the positive feedback. I really like where it's at right now, but let me know if you happen to think of anything else to change or add. I will be on here through out the day, up until the conclusion of your contest. Also, if anything comes to mind after your contest is in judging mode, I can still submit additional variations for you if needed. Thanks again!
Please take a look at the logo i ranked 5, client likes the simplicity of that style with a mix of yours. Hes not crazy about the crest concept, less captain America. He does like the compact aspect of it.
That makes sense; thanks for the detailed feedback! Here is a more simplified layout, with the same visual concept that was effective in the previous one.
