i have to agree with Russic
being in the industry i am (embroidery), we see hundreds of logos every month... and it's pretty easy to pick out the ones where a professional was involved... they just look, well.... professional
not only that, but someone who does this kind of thing day in and day out will likely know a lot of the limitations of logo applications.... whether it be for embroidery, screen print, business cards, letterhead, decals, coffee mugs, pens, etc.
there was a recent 'incident' in kelowna where one of the local high schools got busted by an NCAA school for copyright infringement (yea... taking an NCAA logo and changing a colour and using it for your school logo is not the wisest move!!!)
a logo was developed by a professional graphic company and it is off the chart awesome - just an absolutely fantastic design. while that logo was being developed the school had a 'design a new logo competition' for the students. i don't know all the ins and outs, but for what ever reason the school went with the 'student made' logo... and it's... well... definitely designed by a 16 year old kid with very very very little experience. i wish i could post pics of the designs so you could see what i mean, but i'm not allowed.
so yea - use a professional!
