  1. Hi All,

    This is a great site and you guys are doing an excellent job.

    I am part of the Versova Village Boys, a football club based out of Mumbai and we play in the third tier of the Mumbai Football League. The club was formed in 1982 but has now fallen on hard times so I'm trying to help out by creating a website and also help the club build up their brand so that it doesn't become extinct.

    I'm aware of the rules and will start to review sites and help out in any other way I can.


    1)
    What is the exact name you would like in your logo?

    Versova Village Boys FC
    Estd 1982.

    Would like to convey that the club has existed for a long time on the crest.

    2) What is your website address (ex: http:/site .com/; Site Name)?
    Am still working on the website and nothing is ready as yet.

    3) Description of your website or business:
    Football Club

    4) Have you found any logos/designs on the web that you feel convey
    the style you are looking for?
    I would like a shield type of a crest. Versova is originally a fishing village (though now has a lot of posh Bollywood residents) so would like to have a fishing boat/ fisherman as the central theme.

    The 19th century coat of arms for Mumbai (link given below) has both fishing boats and a lion. Would like to use both for the crest. Would like to replace the lion inside the shield with a classic football (like the one used for Barcelona FC).

    Mumbai (Bombay, India), coat of arms (19th century)

    5) Requested size of your logo:
    High Resolution


    6) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
    Any clips of Fishing boat clip arts that are free

    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?
    The primary jersey colour is Navy with different trims (yellow,red). There is an alternate jersey which will be Yellow, Red with Navy trims. So would like colours which do not clash with the primary colour of the jerseys. Could do two versions one that doesn't clash with dark colours and one which doesnt clash with light colours.

    9) What colors do you NOT want to see in your logo?
    Anything that doesnt clash with the primary colours.

    10) Describe the target audience for your logo
    Players, Children, Local community.

    11) What are the top 3 things you would like to communicate through your logo?
    Convey a sense of history, engage the local community

    12) Where will your logo be used (print, website, etc.)?
    Print on Jerseys, Flyers and Website

    13) Do you have other info or links you want to share?
    NA

    14) Finally we need is there a style font you prefer, please let us know.
    Would leave this to the designer

    Thank you for requesting/replying as per the 'sticky' post info.
    We tend to get annoyed at those that feel they can ignore its content and still have their logo request filled.

    Your request has been added to the list, will be looking forward to seeing your posts around the forum.

    Cheers and welcome to FWT

    I'm having trouble tracking down this particular type of clip art.
    Can you post a pic or URL to what kind of boat you're after please?

    Here's where I'm up to so far. Just checking that I'm on the right track before proceeding any further.

    CP, liking the ship alot, shape, brush or trace?
     
  6. Looking Great...

    Hi CP,

    Looking great till now..

    Would like to see a change in colour if possible... I'm attaching a pic of the team so you can get an idea of the jersey colour and use colours that won't clash.

    Also would like to use the red lion on top of the Bombay 19th century colours. You see that lion used in a lot of places in Bombay and is also on the Mumbai Cricket Association logo.

    The ship is looking great. Thanks for doing this.

    The photo is helpful, thanks.
    I'd suggest white, blue and yellow. The yellow also being on the outer edge of the crest so it will stand out on the jerseys.
    The lion...does it have to be red?


    Forest - The ship can be found HERE
     
  8. That was quick!

    CP,

    It doesn't have to be red. Will leave it up to your design judgements.

    Thanks Lady S, bookmarked!!!!

    Also if you are going with the shield, I think a white line to separate the 2 colours (what ever they maybe) would not go a miss?
     
  10. Hi CP,

    Did you manage to work on an updated version?

    p.s - I have reviewed 3 sites. Would like to know if the reviews were decent? Have had no feedback on any of the three who have requested feedback so haven't reviewed any more.

    I'm sure CP will get back to you soon.

    Remember it is you reviewing sites, not your reviews being reviewed it would be a never ending circle, I'm sure if you have put how you feel about a said site the feedback you gave would only help the site owner....keep it up!!
     
  12. Any update guys?

    Hi All,

    Just wanted to know if this is pending due to any action on my part? Pls let me know.

    If CP doesn't have time could anyone else fancy a try with this?

    Sorry about the long wait. I had a lot of trouble finding that particular lion graphic.
    Shown is the crest on both a light and dark background.

  14. Brilliant!!!

    Thanks CP.

    I love it. Will show it to the team and finalize it. Doubt there will be any major changes.
     
  15. A few small changes

    Hi CP,

    The crest is perfectly fine.

    Could you please give me a version without the background as well?

    Cheers,
    VVB

    Glad to hear they like it. :D
    Attached is zip of file.
    Let me know when you have the file downloaded so I can remove it from the forum.

    Cheers
    CP
     
  17. Thanks a lot!

    Hi CP,

    I have downloaded this.

    Could you also share the version with the background as well? Could you change the white and blue background to yellow and blue. It looks nice with that as well and might use this version for a flag.

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

    Cheers
