I've already started this discussion on Facebook, but I wanted to carry it over onto the forum, as well. Our league really used to shine when we had every team using their own custom team logo on Yahoo. It's something that got lost over the years, but I want to recapture it. I'd like to hire a logo designed to give every team in the league their own logo to use on Yahoo.
I know that there are some teams in the league (such as myself) who like the logos they're using or who use other images for their logos. In those cases, the logo artist would simply be either giving the old logos a fresh coat of paint or creating a logo in the spirit of whatever image is being used. Ideally, the artist would even be able to offer a few different possible directions for each logo to take, for us to choose between.
To get this done, here's what I need from you guys! Firstly, I need to know what camp you're in:
Camp 1: I am a clean slate. I am attached to no particular image and am open to seeing/using whatever the artist comes up with. If you're in this camp, feel free to share any elements or colors that would you like possibly represented. If you don't have any and want this to be 100% artist-inspired, that's fine, too.
Camp 2: I have an old logo or image that I've been using for a while. I don't necessarily need something that looks exactly like it, but I'm open to seeing what the artist can come up with. But, if I end up using a freshly-polished version of the same thing, that's okay, too. Again, if you're in this camp and would like to see different elements or colors experimented with, feel free to say so.
Camp 3: I am currently using a logo or image, I love it, and I don't want it to change. If you're in this camp, you would basically be getting a fresher version of the exact same thing, purely for the sake of uniformity in the art style across the league. If it's an image and not a logo, then the resulting logo would basically look exactly like the image, except in "logo form."
In addition to identifying the camp you're in, I would also need to know if you're willing to contribute monetarily at all to this process. In totality (depending on how many people are in each camp, as that does matter), the range of this would be between $300-500. Divided equally between 20 players, that's between $15-25 a person. The goal, for me, isn't that each person contributes the exact amount their logo would cost as it is getting a bottom line number, so hopefully some people who are able to contribute more could possibly compensate for those who can't. But that is the amount that would be needed, and I would need some help, as there's no way I could foot that bill alone.
Anyway! This is something I've wanted to do for a very long time, so I'm hopeful that everyone is able to give it a shot. For those who want to see the artist I'm looking at, you can preview his work here: haidaralmuttaqi.
All right guys, let me hear your thoughts!

If I have to go thru it again I will leave a couple choices with you to pick for me, I don't wanna hold things up.
