    Hi All,

    I've reached this site at which i think is my last hope. I really need a club logo badge, well we have one but there is a tale to tell..............

    I look after 3 x kids football teams all going under the banner of Castrol, it's a local social club. We have fallen out with a regular kit supplier and he will not help us with out current club crest with a our new supplier.

    Our new kit supplier tried to take a picture and then embroid from there, but it came out looking pretty bad!

    Between the new supplier and several parents, we can't find what we believe is a stock photo/clip art which has been used as our logo, but with a bit of text under it the logo.

    All we are trying to do is avoid changing our logo's from track suits, hats, kits and website etc.
    Well when i say website, we have had to take a picture of the embroidered badge as we have never been given a good picture file.....i know it's poor!

    My ask for help is as follows -

    Have any of you guys who are good with all things graphics/photos ever seen the attached/linked picture. If so can you point me in the right direction please.

    BTW, is this stock/free artwork as we think?

    If not, is there anyone on the forum who can somehow manage to convert the attached in a good graphic for me, i.e it would be nice to have a file for letterheads, website clothing etc.

    Or is it possible to replicate this somehow?

    We can pay if need be, but please bear in mind we are a kids football team and do not generate much revenue, we try to make everything free for the kids where possible.

    Picture attached, hopefully.

    Website address, picture of logo at top left corner.

    I can't say that I've ever seen this graphic around in any clip art directory, freely available or copyrighted.
    What type of boat/ship is it? Looks a little bit like the style of the Spanish 'Pinta' Getting a name for it may help me with searching.

    Reproducing it wouldn't be a problem at all, the problem lies with possible copyright infringements.
    I understand what you mean, replacing all the existing kits bearing that logo would be a pain in the bum not to mention an added financial hardship for you guys.

    I'm all for helping anyone who gets our kids off their collective bums and away from the television/computer and into some healthy outdoor activity. Kudos to you mate! :D

    So, where do you want to go from here?
    :)

    Cheers

    re:

    Thanks a million CovertPea.....

    Sometimes it's easy to overlook the obvious! I will go find a shipping forum for help with identification of the ship and then come back to you.

    Hopefully, this will be a better starting point for me as up to date, I have been spending hours looking at pictures blindly.

    Fingers crossed, I can nail the type of Ship and feedback.

    Thanks again for your kind offer of help, it's appreciated.

    re:

    Hi CovertPea,

    Looks like your first suggestion was pretty good!!
    I've had some feedback but it looks like it's causing a little debate on a shipping forum now :)

    It's suggested that it's probably based on your thoughts, a columbus type ship - Nina, Santa Maria /Pinta.

    The only other suggestion seems to be a Kogg type ship???

    One of the users on the shipping forum even kindly posted a link to another similar embroidery logo -

    I'll keep you posted, but guess it may have to be the closest match as oppose to finding the original?

    Thanks again.

    Nearly There CovertPea

    Hi Again,

    I'm making progress........

    Have a look at this please -

    Ooops? Having problems with attaching the image?

    Credits go to a user (Kultakutri) of another forum who have managed to get this for me.

    Do you think you can work your magic on this for me please.

    Ideally a couple of sizes, I think 350x350 & 600x600 tend to be the norm?

    Hopefully this can be tweaked to get the rope edging and Club name?

    Thanks again.

    Derek

    I'm not happy with the outcome so far. It's hard to imagine what the actual picture would look like minus the embroidery 'stitching'.
    Here's a small copy of what I've got so far.

    Thanks ! ! ! !

    Well done buddy!!

    You've set yourself some high standards then as I think that it's brilliant!!

    I note you said what has been done so far, is there any chance you can get the Club Name around the logo please. Also, can you do one with a white background please, so so it can be used on letters etc.

    CASTROL JFC as per the rubbish picture I initially gave you.

    Thank you......

    I can add the name for you. By the way, it looks kind of unfinished (or something) with a white background, I may need to fill in the transparent sail part. Anyhow, we'll see how it comes out.
    Glad you're happy with it though. :)

    Here's with the white BG, I changed the name colour too.
    Below is a zipped file of a few different logo sizes/colours in both jpgs and transparent pngs.
    Let me know if you need anything else.

    Cheers!
