Hello. I have been a long-time sports logo enthusiast and long-time lurker of this website and I'm looking to start out on the right foot with my first ever official logo proposal. My former high school announced it is looking for a new logo after having used an exact copy (no changes to the color scheme) of the New England Patriots logo for its sports teams for as long as I can remember. I have dabbled in creating just basic logos, usually taking 2-3 letters and morphing them into an image of an animal ala Washington State, but I've never presented a logo to someone else before let alone competing against anyone else. While the school has been simply asking for a new primary logo for free, I want to treat this as professional job and put the a lot of effort into this not caring I wont be compensated because its my former school after all. I'm looking for help right now with regards to creating a checklist of every little thing a could possibly need on top of the basics like the primary logo, alternate logo, wordmark, and one-tone logo. I'm also looking for inspiration with regards to how my pdf presentation should look as well if any of you have links to logo proposal presentations. A little background on my school. The name of the school is Dwight D. Eisenhower HS (IKE in conversation) and the school's nickname is Cadets. The colors are red, blue, and white. I'll be sharing my progress regarding the logos and would very much appreciate your constructive criticism along the way. I'm a bit over zealous right now to the point of wanting to create 3-4 separate logo proposals lol. The deadline for submission is in mid-December.
