Logo Design Brief
Need a logo that depicts the new team name. The logo will be used for all of the school’s sports teams such as football, baseball, basketball, volleyball, etc. and may appear on jerseys, helmets, hats, fliers, banners, brochures, etc.
Primary school colors are PMS 2627 and Cool Gray 9 but other colors may also be utilized. Logo must also be reproducible in black and white.
PALADIN: Any of the twelve peers of Charlemagne's court, set in the middle ages (700-800A.D.). Often depicted as warriors, Paladins are devoted to kindness, have a strict honor code, and are devoted to defeating evil. In combat, a Paladin with a cause is almost impossible to defeat.
Updates
Thank you everyone would has submitted items already. Please note we have removed "Crown" before Paladians. We really want the design to be more focused on Paladians then "Crown" since Crown College itself already has a logo that consists of a Crown. Thank you!
