    New badge for local football club

    I have included below an example of what I would roughly like it to look like. But I need a designer to make it look polished. It will be going on football shirts so needs to be designed with simplicity in mind. Features I want to keep are the colour, shape and font, the bridge and the church. It would be good to see new church ideas with the current bridge and a new idea for both the bridge and the church.

    I have also included links to the bridge and church pictures for reference. Any queries please let me know. I last ran a contest here over a decade ago with great results and I look forward to seeing the results here.

    I will require the illustrator source files.

    Rough idea of what I want:

    I like this the most so far. I like the church idea. Could you try the bridge not so curved and without the flat base on the bottom, church a little bit smaller. Also please present with black background, font Montserrat and the inner circle on the badge a little thinner as per my first concept. PM me any questions

    Hi I like the idea but looks a little busy for me and the church not accurate shape. Would like to see a revision if you don't mind

    I like that, thanks. Feedback:
    - A little less bold with the Bidford font
    - Please use the colour #ffa710
    - A little wider with the church tower, it is wider half way down than the top
    https://warksbells.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/bidford.jpg
    - A little thinner with the inner circle please
    - Remove the box-like lines in the middle of the church

    Looks good thanks. Firsy one is my fav, feedback:

    - Please just use #ffa710, aside from shadow colour can stay
    - church looks a little squashed, too wide flat, tower should be a little longer
    - more space between the two circles on the outer badge
    - try with an without the lines between the stars in the circles please

    Thanks final ideas based on the first image:

    - please try the font and stars in the same colour as the badge
    - remove the lines between the stars
    - tunnels in bridge to not be so deep (not as high)
    - church a fraction smaller (only a little) try removing cross too

    If you don't mind I would like to see an option with just the church tower too and a maybe another darker colour for the shadow

    Looks good thanks. I have drawn over some changes I would like.
    - remove the cross
    - higher tower
    - not so high but wider archways
    - try to make some 3d effect with the tower
    - add the stars in.

    I had a quick sketch to show what I mean but I'm sure you can improve on it...
