    ***CHANGED***

    Hello Everyone,

    I have a Martial Arts Business, and I need my logo revised for me to have it screen pressed on the back of my uniforms and t-shirts. Right now the logo is very wide and not very tall. It needs to be more equal on all sides like a circle or a square.

    *Changed* Here is the my current logo so you can see what I have now:
    http://www.fileswap.com/dl/h7klmJn5E7/CMALogo101811.psd.html

    View my website for info on what we do: http://www.cmareno.com

    I need you to do a complete redesign of my logo. The sky is the limit. Just note that I don't want anything scary looking because this will be used on the back of my Uniforms.

    I like the idea of having a Ninja with a sword on his back, or other Martial Arts Guys streaking across the air doing a flying sidekick, Spin Kick, or some other kick. I would prefer you to be creative, and we can go from here.

    Rules:
    1. You do not have to use my current font, colors, etc.
    2. It will be put on shirts and uniforms (gi), so do not use more than 3 or 4 colors.
    3. The only words that are Required are my business name: Champion Martial Arts. The rest is optional
    4. It cannot be too wide like it is now, or too tall because of the uniform & T-Shirt placement
    ***5. The guy/ninja on the shirt should be solid black
    ***6. No Goofy Cartoons. I want a 100% professional Logo
    ***7. Post your entry in this thread for me to approve or critique.
    8. The sky is the limit. I would prefer you let your creative side rule.
    9. Contest ends this Saturday, 10/22, or earlier if I choose a clear winner.
    10. Payment via paypal

    1st Place WINNER gets $40 plus $20 if I want any specific changes after the contest ends.
    2nd Place gets $20 if there are two clear leaders.

    Please pm me with any questions. May the best designer Win!

    What you made ighy looks exactly like what I put, but is not what I am looking for. I need something more professional looking. Thank you for your entry.

    Yes Ighy. I am not an artist, so you should not copy me! LOL. Do whatever you think looks cool. Note: I want it to look professional, and less cartoon like. Thank you.

    I got an entry from fkay that is the clear leader, but not quite what I want. It has a yin/yang in the background that is red. A solid black person in the front punching, and my business name written underneath them.

    First, no Yin/Yang's. Sorry. I want a Ninja with a sword on his back, or a figure doing a flying side kick. Thanx.

    I have received several cartoon looking entries, so I am currently revising what I want. Everyone please read post #1 again. Thank you.

    Sorry I have not replied to this thread today. There are definitely a lot of great entries on here. I will get together with my colleagues, decide who is the front runner, and get back to you all tomorrow.

    THANK YOU!
