Hi Guys, I have recently benefited from expertise and generosity of other designers when making a football crest.
Thought you all might find this 'Crest Creator' to help realise your ideas more and also maybe give the designers on here a better idea on what you're looking for.
It's pretty limited in design options and tools, but with some messing about with creating a badge, saving it, editing in photoshop, reloading as an image, editing more, etc etc...i think you could create something half decent and help you visualise your idea.
It is a football manager mmo game or something - but you only need to register, not join the actual MMO (paid) service. Here's the link:
Football Manager Live | The No.1 Football Management MMO Game
I stumbled across it via some extensive google searching. You need to join - but not as a paid member. After you've finished registering it will take you to a page which lists 'premium' payment options - but that's all they are - options. Ignore this last page and you can just move on to any page you want and do what you like (after you activate via an email).
The creator is found in the side menu under 'Manager Profiles'.
Here are a couple I made (keep in mind, I'm a complete amateur who couldn't design something to save his life!):
Hope this helps!
