Thunderbolts Logo Design

We are a non-profit cross-country team in need of an updated logo for the team. We have one but it’s just not good enough, and since we are about to screen print a large quantity of uniforms we thought we’d change it while we had the chance. We have a sketch of what we want – actually, we have 2-3 different options for someone to look at, give their opinion on, and then go with.

The project would need to be completed by Wednesday morning since we are in a huge time crunch to have the uniforms printed before a big meet this Saturday. Since we are a non-profit team on a tight budget (all coaches, staff, and any volunteers are just that…volunteers with NO PAY), we do not have a ton of money to spend but we will spend what we can.

If there is someone out there that could do this, we would be most appreciative. Having a classy looking logo is very important to our team! The athletes have been begging for one and I really want to give them one – they are a top team in their league, though this year they’re struggling a bit, so this would be a nice boost for them!!

If you have a question to ask here is some of my information:

Home Phone: 770-831-2540
Cell Phone: 404-483-8730
Email: coachesther@thunderbolts.org

We are willing to pay $50, if it is an incredible design we can pay up to $100.

You can go to the address below, to see a couple of our basic ideas for a logo design:

Thunderbolts -

Just a couple of questions. What are the team colors? Are you limited to just 2 or 3 color printing, or can it be full-color?

Thanks!

Had a bit of a go at this one. Font and colors can -of course- still be changed.
Link: here

Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Jaba.

Hey Jaba, the logo can only have two colors. The logo will be put on an athletic gold shirt.

If anyone has any of there own ideas for a logo, we would love to see it! We are a cross-country team.


Here is a picture of the logo we are using now:

Hi Everyone,

This is the actual coach logging on here to make a few comments! I've been having someone else reply this morning since I'm out and about right now.

While we did post a few ideas for a logo, it was just that, IDEAS. We do not have a set idea of what it should like. We just want it to be classy and eye catching. Also, as this is a high school team (and a top contender in our league) we want it to look mature and professional. I want the logo to be one where other teams look at it and go "Wow, I wish our team had one like that!!" ;-)

As was mentioned earlier, our team colors are navy, white and gold. Most everything that is embroiderd or screen printed will be done on yellow material. As in, our singlets, t-shirts and warmup jackets are an athletic gold.

In the logo that was already submitted, it looks nice but I think it needs to be catchier. Obviously, the colors would need to be changed, but I also think it would need some more contrast. Such as, it might be helpful to have a border of sorts around the bolts themselves, maybe navy around the edges. Also, in the crest, maybe it could be a navy background with the "T" being in gold. I don't know. Just ideas.

Really, as I said, I want to see the ideas you all have. The more creative, professional, and classy the better!! I really want to give this team the best logo we can! It's one that will last for years and years!

Thanks so much to all of you!

Looking forward to seeing all the ideas,
~ Esther

Could you change the logo to navy and white, so that I can see how it will look?

Keep sending them in! I know I told you the deadline was today and it was, BUT...some things have delayed the uniforms so if I receive your stuff tomorrow morning, that will be fine. I'm enjoying looking at the different stuff you're posting.

As mentioned before, please do be as creative as you would like. I do think having a Thunderbolt someone how in it is a good idea, but you do it how you think it should be.

I'll be checking back here and will be able to make a more definite decision late tomorrow morning/early afternoon (EST).

Have a wonderful evening,
Esther
