    I'm trying to design a new badge for a football team and could really do with some help!

    I like the shape of the badge below. The team colours are claret and blue. I would like footballs to appear in 2 opposite quadrants of the shield, I would like the England 3 lions (see below) in another quadrant, and a picture of a round single castle tower in the other. The banner across the top should say Old Sodbury FC and the banner below should be left blank (motto to be added later)
    Can you help with this?

    Thanks

    Louise

    :confused: Funny...each time I access this post I get the "thefa.com" authentication pop up appearing asking for my password.
    Might have something to do with your initial attachment.

    Anyhow, thanks for the 3 lions, will add you to my football badge list.
    Give me a few days please.

    Cheers

    Thank you sooooooo much for your help! :)

    I've been thinking about it and I do have a slight change I would like to make!!!! (typical woman changing her mind!!). In the 4 quadrants I would like a football in 1, the tower in the opposite one, the three lions in the third quadrant and a st georges cross (red cross on white background) in the opposite quadrant to the lions.

    Before I go any further can you check this for colours (so many shades of blue and claret!) and pictures please.

    Just noticed your last posting.
    Yes, I think the cross would look heaps better than the 2 balls.
    Still, check colouring please.

    PS: there's no background or drop shadow on the original large file.

    Wow, it looks great already.
    Colour - the claret is perfect. Can the banner at the top and bottom have a light blue background? (the dark blue writing is fine).
    Can the castle be in black and a slightly different shape? I've tried to add a pic but for some reason it wont work, can I email it instead? it is a tower that is on the hill that overlooks the football pitch.
    And can the flags fill the whole of the quadrant, rather than being a square within it?

    Thanks

    Lou ;)

    for adding file attachments:
    When you click on "Post Reply" and the new mail window opens, there's a tiny 'paper clip' thing there in the gray area just above the space where you type. Click on it and a new smaller window will open.
    On the new window, click browse to find the file on your computer, click open and then upload. Then close the smaller window.
    You wont see the file you've attached until you preview or submit your post.
    I'll alter the things you want altered and wait for the tower pic.

    Cheers

    Here are the changes. Which is better, the tower with or without white outline?

    I prefer the tower outlined in white.
    One small change, can you swap the position of the red cross and the tower?
    Also, if it's not too much trouble can I see it outlined in gold? As well as using the image on our webiste we are going to have it embroidered on the kit and I want to make sure it stands out.
    Thanks again for your help with this, it's a thousand times better than I could have done!

    Hi Again, we have now decided on our motto. It is Virtus unita fortis agit. Can you add this to the banner at the bottom?

    Thanks

    I doubt you'd have any problems with this standing out.
    I should mention, the least amount of colours within a logo - the better. Not only for clarity but printing price-wise.
    Here's the changes:

    I think the gold has over done it, but the other one is great. Thank you for you help with this.
