Logo request for new youth American football training academy

Hello, I'm requesting logo for a youth football (American) training center for ages 7-13.

PHENOM FOOTBALL ACADEMY
1) What is your website address (ex: http://site.com ; Site Name)?
South Pop Warner Lasers

2) Description of your website:
Football academy website.

3) List 3 logo designs you really like & why:
I like a design with a football player figure that is overly muscular; I think this would appeal to kids. The image draws them in and then a simple name of the training center "PHENOM FOOTBALL ACADEMY". I've included some rough designs I came up with (attached). The font I used was Impact. I'd also like a logo that just has the initials "PFA" in our dominant colors black, white, and flourescent green (or rave green (Nike),lime green)

4) Requested size of your logo:
Logo (phenom_logo_blk) will be used on the website and on letterhead
Both logos(phenom_logo_blk and phenom_logo_blkW) will be printed on T-shirts, depending on the color of the shirt; we would like the logo to be rather large to fill the chest area of t-shirt
The logo with the initials "PFA" will be printed on Polo shirts

I'm thinking we need the logos in both low and high resolution sizes

5) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
See image attachments

6) Any colors you prefer?
I would like the green in the attachments changed to flourescent green (or rave green, lime green)

Your help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Isn't this nicer - now you don't have to scroll to the right forever to see the pics. Please think before you post or look at it afterwards. While you are waiting go review a site or help answer a question, can not just take without giving back, sets a bad example for the kids- thanks - ishkey

I'm on it!

Thank you!

sry, can someone else do this CP perhaps? I can't find the time right now.

don't know if this is what your looking for, but here is an idea?

That may work for the initials logo (PFA); I'd prefer a sans serif font.

For the main logo that will go on T-shirts, letterhead and website, I basically would like a cleaned-up, sharper version of what I created (attached) with the shade of green matching the rave color in the picture of cleats I attached.

Basically a big-tough football player bursting out of the center with the name "PHENOM FOOTBALL ACADEMY" encircling it.

Thanks in advance!

Any idea where to get a copyright free image of this to use on your logo?

Will this do the job?
Unless you can provide a different 'tough guy' image that is copyright free, this is the best I can find.

Almost forgot, this is what it looks like on a black bg.

CP,

Thanks! I found this royalty-free image; wondered if you could show me what it would look like before I purchased the rights to it. Still would like to use the black/rave green color scheme.

CP,

I purchased the rights from istockphoto.com to use the attached royalty free image. Can you manipulate the colors into the black/rave green scheme?

From the istockphoto.com website, "To modify this file you will need vector editing software such as Adobe Illustrator, Freehand, or CorelDRAW."

I think it will look perfect with the black and white designs you did above. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, have downloaded and removed image file - CP

attached another concept to consider...

Here's three versions:
1. coloured text, no grey outline around man.
2. plain text with outline around man.
3. your 3rd idea.

CP,

we would like to go with option 2. it looks great! thanks!

Ta.
I'll post a zip of the full sized 'option 2' this evening.

Thanks! Can you include a second one with white lettering for printing on black tee-shirts/background?

Hi Covert,

I was just checking for the .zip. version of opt 2. no hurry. I was thinking I could actually use option 1 as you have designed here on the black shirts/backgrounds, so if possible I'd like options 1 & 2 in hi-res formats. Thanks in advance. (you can disregard my request for white lettering)

Lucky I was too busy to post earlier.

Here's the zip of the 2 styles.

Let me know when you have it so I can remove from the forum.

Cheers
CP

Got It! Thanks!
