I need logo help

[wutamess]

I'm trying to make a logo for my girls 10u fastpitch softball team I coach.
I want this logo to be easily transferable to hat's and shirts, etc.
Here's something I've been working on and hope that you can either make this better or something totally different altogether

Our team name is the Lady Knights.

BTW: We're looking to add a couple of 8-9 year old girls 03/04 birthdays if they're ready to compete at a competitive level around the metro.

LS, BS, Raytown, Indep areas.
psd & jpg attached.

Whoever does get it right I'll put your business or name on our banner.
Thanks.

Lumpy, I still want to see your shield graphic tomorrow if it's not too much of a problem. Thanks.

Or is it too much if Lady Knights was in there somewhere?

Something like the Sporting KC logo where Kansas City is up at the top of the shield?

Rough around the edges because I'm not taking the time to make this all perfect, just giving you ideas.



I'm really not a designer, but putting the seams across the shield is the first thing that popped out when I saw this.

Refer to DRU's last graphic. That was what I was referring to w/ my post. IMO, filigree would make it look way too busy.

Not a problem at all. I was just busting your sack earlier.

That spam?

Also can i have the shield more pronounced and maybe a softball yellow color? Different/more detailed shield maybe?

[Lumpy]

Do you have a high-res copy of just the "L" and "K"?

[wutamess]

Got font off of dafont.com. In their calligraphy section the font is called mutlu something. Im not mqrried to the font so if you see something that catches your eye, have at bit. I cleaned it up in PS.

Meh. Okay, I tracked down the shield that I was thinking about last night. It has quite a bit of detail and would look awesome with the shadow, letters, and words on it. However, I don't think it would work for hats/shirts unless you go w/ an iron-on transfer. Even then, I don't know how it would turn out, (I work in the digital printing field not screen printing).

IMO, I like what DRU came up with for the logo. It's simple and it should transfer to material just fine.

I like the bezel of the shield. Maybe use your shield with qhat deu has and woild it look too busy to out lady knights above or below or a combination of the two?

[Lumpy]

Unfortunately, I don't have a good program to use for merging the art, (I just have form design programs on my work comp).

[wutamess]

Can someone clean these up to vector maybe?

[Lumpy]

Limited resources. I has them at the moment. But, if nobody hooks you up in the morning, (and my workload is minimal), I'll help you out.

[wutamess]

Anyone, please?

Anyone from night crew?
