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

    We don't have a website! But the name of our team is "Real Politik FC"- we are the football team representing the politics department at the University of Nottingham.

    2) Description of your website:

    Our team plays in all black, so it would be cool to try and make a black logo, also using some white and yellow.

    3) List 3 logo designs you really like & why:

    [​IMG]

    I like the Real Madrid logo as we are called "Real Politik FC" so have obvious connetations to Real Madrid (albeit not in the way we play!) It would be cool to do something which looks the same as this, but replace the letters inside the circle with something relevant to us.

    [​IMG]

    As we represent the politics department, it would be cool to try and incorporate a silhouette or something of the Houses of Parliament, maybe as a band across the top of the badge or something?

    [​IMG]


    I like the Liverpool badge, in terms of layout. You could replace the top artwork with a silhouette of Parliament, and then replace 'Liverpool' with 'Real Politik Football Club'. You could also replace 'Est.1892' with 'Est.2007'. It would be cool also to replace the bird with a football. Our team colours are black (predominantly) and a bit of white or yellow.


    4) Requested size of your logo:

    Normal size, but in good quality.


    5) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo ( only copyright free ones )?

    Just the Parliament logo above.

    6) Any colors you prefer?

    Black with a little white and yellow/gold/silver (up to you!)

    PLEASE HELP! I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL!

    Good description of what you want WILLBS. Could only wish most of of our requestees put as much thought into their requests as you have! :D

    Okay, you're on the list. One question - Football, is that the round one or the oval type?

    Cheers CP

    CP, do you have a website/gallery that you have all your designs on?
    OR a website/portfolio of some sort?

    Wow that looks awesome!! I think you are very close- if I could request a couple of small ammendments I think it would be perfect:

    1) Please could you shift the Parliament design a tiny bit to the right, so that the big building on the right is about 1cm to the right (where there is currently a gap in the buildings)

    2) Also, could you try and make the gap between the silhouette and the words "Football Club" a tiny bit bigger (dont worry if this means you have to make the badge slightly wider).

    3) Could you make the Parliament silhouette a little bit wider (fatter). Not by much; (if this looks rubbish then leave it but I would quite like to see it)

    Thank you- I am very very grateful!!

    This one has some colour, which I think it needed. Clarified the h.o.p. a little, hard to find decent pics of it that will fit in the space. Full sized looks much better.

    Andrew-
    No I don't, why do you ask?

    Wow! I think we are very close- the silhouette is perfect. Could I see the above image just in black and white? Also, could you try it with the fade like you have above, but change the orange/yellow to a midnight blue colour.

    Thanks again for your time!! :)

    @CP
    Well, if you want one I could see about making you one.
    (if you want)
    So, I can add another site to my portfolio.
    You of course could do the actual design.
    I would just code it.

    If you want.
    Send me a PM

    Thanks a lot. I think I am going to go for the orange one, but would also like the black and white one. Can I please get them in full quality? Thanks

    Thank you so much!!

    Right, I know this is going to sound cheeky, but since you did such a good job of this, would you mind doing another similar one?

    It's for the equivalent netball team so you could leave everything exactly the same, just change:
    - turn the orange background to pink
    - Change 'Real Politik/ Football Club' to 'Politics Society/ Netball Club'
    - Change the football to a simple netball (exactly like the ball in this badge)[​IMG]

    Also, if I wanted to be super super super cheeky, would you do exactly the same again but:
    - Blue background like one of the previous ones above
    - 'Politics Society/ Hockey Club'
    - Change the ball to hockey sticks like this:
    [​IMG]

    Any chance? I would be eternally grateful!

    You ARE a cheeky blighter aren't you! Are you selling them on the black e-market?;)

    They're going to take a few days as I have a few other 'jobs' to get done first.

    Cheers

    Here's your hockey and netball. If they're ok I'll post the usual link

    I have made something up already (from a web template tutorial) and David is helping me with the slicing and coding part.
    I'd like to see how it turns out first before committing to anything else.

    I truly appreciate your wanting to help me Andrew and I'm sure there'll be a ton of info I'll be picking your brain for. So be warned! :D

    I definitely reckon it's time I moved in to the new millennium and got myself a site up. I suppose the next step would be checking out the 'hosting' part.
    Not sure if I'm looking forward to that as it all sounds SOOO complicated.

    Cheers mate!
