Does anyone want to create a logo for my football team because Reddit is useless

Recommended Posts

I posted a request on Reddit for someone to come up with a logo for my football team, they ask you to submit a form (in the spoilers box) which I did.

And not a single person who attempted to design the logo read it by the looks of it.

I asked for a monochromatic, bold, fierce logo.

I wanted something that looked similar to or was based on this...

and I got this...

The logo

 

  • What words or letters do you want included in your logo?   Wyrley Juniors Lions

  • Do you have a tagline?  Do you want it to be included in the logo? None

  • Provide five adjectives to describe your logo.  Some examples are below.

       Modern, Bold, Fierce, Cool, Kid Friendly

Tell me about your company:

 

  • Explain what your company / organization is and does. Youth football team - age 6/7

  • How are you different than your competition? We’re a brand new team formed last month

  • What are the benefits of your product/service? Teaching youth sport

  • What attributes of your business / organization would you like your logo to reflect? Young and Dynamic

  • How do you intend to market your company? Social media and local newspapers

Goals and Objectives:

 

  • What do you want to happen as a result of this project? Better social engagement between team and community.

Describe what you want designed:

 

  • Describe your aims and requirements in detail here — the more specific, the better. Tell the designers what is required, but also let them know where they’re free to be creative. Team logo, based around a Lions head as that is the team name. Club colours are black and white so logo should be monochrome. I’d like the logo to be circular with ‘Wyrley Juniors’ wrapped around the top and ‘Lions’ wrapped around the bottom. Text should be big, bold and blocky. Similar to this - http://content.altfonts.com:88/img/T/A/Takraf-Blocka.png

  •  

  • What key pieces of information / copy need to be included? None

  • Include any images, sketches, or documents that may be helpful.

 

I really like this logo as a base of the logo http://cliparts.co/cliparts/gTe/AzX/gTeAzXXxc.png

Competitors Design

  • Use Google to search for similar designs that you like, include at least (4), explain why you like them and what to include / exclude in your design

http://www.lfcc.edu/files/images/logo-files-2010/LFCC_Lions_Logo_Head_Only_FINAL_BLACK.png - Bold

http://www.ec.edu/sites/default/files/Lion-Icon---3C.jpg - cartoonish, kid friendly style

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/3/34/Carinthian_Black_Lions_logo.png - bold, memorable, subtle use of colour

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/8e/7b/21/8e7b21887754bd5027bc1d9aada3393e.jpg - good level of detail without being overly detailed

 

  • Do the same exercise but look for (4) competitors designs that you DO NOT like and explain why.

http://logos.co/1024/royalty-free-vector-of-a-black-and-white-lion-face-logo-by-cory-thoman-10138.jpg - too cartoonish

http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/cute-animal-lion-illustration-simple-black-white-logo-39147464.jpg - too young

http://managementscience.biz/monarch-lion-logo/ - too detailed

Brand recognition (sort of)

Team colours - black and white.

lastly:

  • If your logo was a celebrity, who would it be? Any top level soccer player

  • How important is this project to you on a scale of 1-10? Personally, about a 7, it’s not massively important but I think it’s something the children and the parents involved in the club will get a kick out of and help give our team a unique identity we can all support.

Just going to point out that you can still see the watermark over the lion.

Love the font, not overly keen on the Lion's head, it feels a bit too old fashioned.

It's 'Juniors' too and I'd prefer the bottom text to be arched the other way so the logo is more circular.

6 and 7. If I showed them that lame blue lion they'd go sign for another club. The like Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. Ass kickers.

Not doing it myself cause the only way I know to curve text in GIMP is a bitch and a half to do.

This looks like some sort of horrifying demonic space goat.
