    Okay, this is the logo I've inherited for a team I've started coaching. I really don't care for the colors or the International ball. Is it me or is this logo just not that appealing? To me it has to many different colors and looks really busy. If y'all think it looks fine I'll leave it alone.

    It does look kind of 'busy' and the colours look a tad washed out. With all those flag colours I'd say it would cost a fair bit to reproduce in print or a patch embroider.
    The bottom line though is the thoughts of the team playing under it, do they like it?

    The players like it, but (there's always a but) because of some coaching moves we will be getting new kits. With new kits I thought a new design might be in order only because it costs so much to have it printed on jerseys and shirts and I never really thought it looked that great. Forget about getting anything stitched either. I thought it looks kind of dated and maybe a more modern look and no international ball would help.

    I'm not very artistic so I was hoping more artistic people would let me know if it was just me.

    Honestly think there is way too much detail, unless the badge itself is large (on the kit) I doubt very much that you could even work out the flags etc

    How about if the current globe is replaced with a simpler globe, like below?

    Wow! Thanks CovertPea that's awesome. Now I feel like a heel for not using the request questions. I was hoping to help out on the site some more before requesting a new logo.

    I was going to stay on here to help out just because I like the way the site works. Now I promise to, just because y'all are so awesome. I usually lurk around here and I will help out when I can.

    Aww, come back after dinner to all these compliments! Thanks peoples. :D
    Rmorales - If you don't mind waiting a day or so (I"m working tomorrow) I can re-do the whole crest for you with the new 'globe'.
    How about colours? Staying the same? Brighter?
    Will leave you for now to ponder this as I'm off to beddy-byes.

    Cheers all
    CP

    1) What is the exact name you would like in your logo?
    INTERNATIONAL FUTBOL CLUB or just the letters IFC .

    2) What is your website address?
    I’m currently working on it.

    3) Description of your website or business:
    Youth soccer club

    4) Search the Internet for any logos/designs on the web that you feel convey
    the style you are looking for?

    upload_2014-3-17_20-34-56.jpeg fsc_logo_medium.jpg

    I like how the team names are more clear and prominent on these badges and they’re simple with only a few colors. The green one is a little busy with the gray strips, but I like how the name stands out.

    5) Requested size of your logo:
    It will be for both website use and printed on team jerseys.

    6) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
    Only what’s on the current logo.

    7) What logo styles do you like (text only, image only, text and image, etc.)?
    Text and image.

    8) What colors do you want to see in your logo?
    I would like our Royal Blue color to be prominent somehow; I am open to any other accent colors.

    9) What colors do you NOT want to see in your logo?
    I don’t hate any colors.

    10) Describe the target audience for your logo
    Adults and kids

    11) What are the top 3 things you would like to communicate through your logo?
    Attract new business of adults and children. Make the team name more prominent.

    12) Where will your logo be used (print, website, etc.)?
    It will be used on our website and team jerseys. Possible bumper stickers

    13) Do you have other info or links you want to share?
    I would just like the logo to be less busy, more streamlined and more modern if possible. I'm okay with moving or leaving off the banner only because the Futbol and Club parts look uneven and it's harder to make patches.
    Whatever is easiest for you is okay with me though, I thought the continents was pretty cool. I feel silly trying to tell you how to do something you have way more talent than me.

    14) Finally we need is there a style font you prefer, please let us know.
    No.

    I really must learn to check back on a thread before doing anything..lol...

    Nice work Lady S, I had roughly the same thought, but slightly different.

    Must say I have never liked the Everton scroll, the wording in it just doesn't look right (Just MOPO)

    Oh well this is what I had;

    Thanks 1970Forest.

    I'm at work and using my phone, but from what I can make out that looks pretty dang awesome. When I get home and on my desktop I'll be able to get a better look.
    Thank you, 1970Forest

    How do you guys/ladies do that! I would have never thought of something like that. That's pretty dang nice looking and you did it so quick. It's everything I said I liked simple, modern and few colors.
    Can the year be changed?
