    Hi all. I would be very greatful if you could design me a club crest for my new football club.

    1) What is your website address (ex: http://site.com ; Site Name)?
    Davyhulme Park Football Club

    2) Description of your website:

    Football Club Website

    3) List 3 logo designs you really like & why:
    Of the 3 attached.
    One is one that we have had done for ourselves which we aren't too keen on. What we do like is the colours, the horse's head, and the shield.
    Manchester United Logo - I love this badge (being the club I support). I like the symbols and how they represent the area and I like the parts that contain the text.
    Barca Logo - As above I like how it symbolises the city and I like the shield design

    4) Requested size of your logo:
    High Res for shirt printing please. Would also like to use the logo on the website aswell as on email signatures and letterheads.

    5) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
    I would assume the DPFC logo attached should be copyright free as it was designed for us.

    6) Any colors you prefer?
    Yellow and Black although as the shirt colours aren't yet 100% decided this is flexible

    I would like to see a shield type logo broken up into 3 sections like the Barca logo. In the 3 I would like the horses head and a clock tower (although I think this could be a stumbling block depending on how it looks) to represent the area of Davyhulme in the smaller sections and then a football in the main section. I would like the logo to include the clubs name "Davyhulme Park" and that's basically it. Any extras any of the gifted designerrs on here come up with to throw in too are always welcome as I'm amazed with the results that some of the requests have resulted in.

    All of the criteria above is flexible as basically if I see something I love that matches none of it I will far from complain lol.

    Well thanks in advance and thanks for a wonderful site

    Mike

    As you can see the logo that was designed for us unfortunately has a typo and says "Dayhulme Park" instead of "Davyhulme Park" lol. I would prefer this not to happen again if possible lol.

    Thanks

    Mike-
    I know it's taken a while but I finally got around to making something for you.
    Thought I'd try a rehash of the original first, as I wasn't familiar with the 'clock tower' thing.
    Apart from that, what do you think? (I really like that horse!)

    Good Morning (well for me at least) Pea,

    Thanks for the response and absolutely no problem can only imagine how much you have on here let alone in your own life.

    The only thing I don't like is how dominant the horse is. I don't know I just feel that without the football in there we could be a riding club lol.

    I love the surrounding bit with our name in although was wondering if we could either have it as just a complete circle or as two bands seperate by maybe two small footballs like in the Manchester United crest I attached. I would also prefer the football to go as think it looks abit cramped and then the shield dead centred rather then over lapping the bands.

    Infact how about that. Bin the ball, centre the shield with the horses head as it is and then rework the band around the edge to be broken up by 2 footballs. That may well be spot on lol.

    Sorry to moan just want it look perfect and I know you're capable of achieving that!

    Thanks again,

    Mike

    Not a problem Mike. Thought I'd give that idea a go anyways.
    Got a busy weekend coming up so I may not get around to the changes until (my) Monday.

    Cheers

    Hey CP,

    Not sure what happened. Could have sworn I posted a reply. Anyway I love it. If possible could you substitute the horse for a clock tower and change the yellow to white. Not instead of but as a seperate crest. Basically I can then take the 2 logos (each in yellow and white) to the committee and get a vote.

    Fantastic work though. Thank you so much. We will make a donation as agreed in the PM I sent you.

    You're a superstar, thank you

    Can you point me in the direction of where to find a pic of this clock tower please?

    Hi CP,

    Here is a link to an actual picture of it File:Davyhulme Circle.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    If you can find a silhouette of a clock tower that would be perfect. If it's too much messing around for you then don't worry we will just stick with the horse (the nags head).


    Thanks again

    hi CP,

    I've been staring at this for the best part of half an hour now and just can't think of what could be done. We could put it in a shiled but i don't think that's the answer. The other thing would be to bring the two balls inside either side of the clock tower making the out ring a solid ring. I just don't know. I do love that clock tower though it is so like the one that stands on the nags head and is a monument to the fallen solidiers of past wars which is why i've been keen to try something with it. If you could make it black rather then yellow maybe leaving the cross white like the clock and then bring the balls in either side making the outer ring solid that will be perfect and I will leave you alone lol.

    If it's ok then after those changes if you could provide me with both the crests, so this one and the one with the horses head, with both a yellow background and then again with a white background. That gives me 4 choices to take to the commitee to vote on and then that is it we will be done.

    Thank you so much for all of your help you've been fantastic and I'm sorry to have continued to ask you for more.

    Thanks again CP,

    Mike

    I reckon that's it don't you?

    If you can send the files for all the ones you've done and then I'll let the commitee decide. Oh could you do it in White aswell as yellow so I can showboth please.

    Thank you so much CP you're the best x

    Hey CP,

    I've downloaded them but I need them to have transparent backgrounds for banners etc. Is this something I can do with the files you've sent at all?

    Thanks again for everything

    Mike

    They don't need to be transparent to show your commitee. Just print them out, that way it saves us both a lot of double work.
    When you/they decide which one will do then I'll send the full-sized transparent file.

    Hi CP,

    Well finally had our committee meeting and I'm please to say your efforts were very very much appreciated. The chosen crest was the final containg both the clock tower and the nags head. White seemed to be the prefered colour although if it is easy enough to provide both the yellow and white versions with transparent backgrounds that would be great if it's more then 5 minutes work for you then if you could just do the white that would be great.

    Thanks again for everything you've really helped with the building of the club.

    Mike

    Finally got around to you. :)
    Attached zip contains full sized transparent crest in both gold and white.

    Once again, let me know when you have the file downloaded so I can remove it from the forum.

    Cheers
