I am in the process of setting up a kingswinford branch of the lions club.
i have an idea of the design of the badge but need some help in getting the artwork together so i can send it to the badge makers.
i want a mod target badge with claret outer ring, white inner ring and blue bullseye. the blue bullseye to have gold rampant lion in and in claret ring Kingswinford Lions 2012 in gold.
marshall has done mock ups, i dont know if anyone else has the software to do it. would be appreciated if anyone can help
regards

will do, i will get my number in the programme and you can contact me that way as well. if you pm me though as well i will let you know when i am set up.
-
I should be able to help you out, I'm good with image editing software and can create images from scratch and what you want sounds very simple to do.
-
I am up for anyone having a go. Can you put some ideas on here or do you want my email addy to send them through stikz
-
At first probably easier to post image on here but can email it to you afterwards but need to know what you want exactly
What sort of badge is this for, a metal pin or a sew on patch and what sort of size was you thinking for the badge?
Do the people making the badge have a website i can view as sometimes different companies prefer different image formats?

Same here Rutski - in Wordlsey - won't let me PM you for some reason...
-
The idea of a badge or emblem is going to be for enamel badge, sew on badge and emblem for letterheads and eventually on a kford lions flag. It will also be in the website.
-
OK, give me 24hrs and i'll have something for you.
-
This is a mod style target in the colours as you requested following the sizing proportions of the original style, is this how you want it before I go any further with creating the image.
Ignore the quality of the second image, I just shrunk the large image down to give you an idea of how the proportions will look when used as a small badge.
My concern is the when the lion and text is added to the smaller size it will just look like a little yellow blur. I know it's not exactly what you wanted but from a design point of view I would consider doing the enamel badge like the third image with a narrow white ring with a larger blue circle and be able to fit a larger sized lion into it.
Again ignore the quality of the second small image, any final image will be better quality, i just shrunk the large 1 down again just to show you the proportions

stikz, the sizing of the badge is essential and in the first design i think you have nailed it, if the lion will be too small maybe just the text is needed in the outer ring. i am looking for a particular style to the emblem, maybe different to what others have done but the mod style badge is essential.
on another note, i gave Ron Vlaar an enamel mod style villa badge today and told him to wear the colours with pride. Ron said thank you and said , ok i will. whether that means he will wear the badge i dont know or just a ref to wearing our shirt.

I always assumed you were in New Zealand NZ. That's some commute.

The lion will look too small in the blue inner circle alone.

Hey, Thsatch, shouldn't the Lion be juggling a star? ;D
-
(http://i45.tinypic.com/25txhkw.jpg)
can you do this design with the mod target in equal proportion and a smaller lion? the writing in the claret is good. the lion doesnt have to fit in the bulls eye, it can roar out of it a little.
-

that looks real good. what formats do i need to send it off to printers, badge makers etc?
-
Make the lion a little bigger to fit at least half way through the white circle and you'll have nailed it.
-
Be my guest.

Ooooh are you offering tea and biscuits...or may be a nice slice of cake? :)

I have a Sedgley Lions club, you should join up with me and we can run it together?

Sorry DBTW, my glasses are still steamed up with laughing at 27bslash6. I thought you were saying you have a Sedgley Lion cub and you were proposing to run it in races against KRS.
-
My Sedgley Lions club doesnt run races, it's a football supporters club. I dont have long before he sets up his other one so can you please amend your reply?
I have to leave in 5 minutes.
-
I'm not the best at photoshop but I was interested to see what it would actually look like with a larger lion...

Oh I see, you're affiliated to the Detroit Lions in the NFL. I'm so sorry, I assumed you were claiming to be supporters of the famous English soccer franchise Aston Villa, but when I looked on Google Earth and discovered that Sedgley is in the Black Country of your West Miidlands County I realised that no self respecting YamYam would dream of supporting a soccer franchise inferior to such great franchises as the ones that claim Steve Bull as the greatest goal scorer of all time or the paupers from down the road who are so hard up they have to wear Tesco shopping bags for shirts.

I'd move to KIngswinford if I could have a badge like this!
-
thanks for all the effort in designing a badge/emblem.
we met some of the chaps from bromsgrove lions last night to see how they ran their club and what they do for their members and got some great ideas. All mad villa which is ace.
dbtw, i can definiteley see us hooking up for something in the coming times, perhaps a coach to an away game or something, but for starters i think i need to start small and take it from there.
the bromsgrove lions are having an evening with peter withe and brian little on sept 5th and proceeds are going to go to acorns and support leukaemia. check their website out to get details of the event.
this is something i would love to do at sometime for the kingswinford lions.

I must admit I did find it funny, but if I knew that bloke I'd put a big dent in his head and damn the consequences. Or break his hind legs. Yes, the legs - I'd find that funny too.
That black and white cat looks just like mine - absolutely adorable. Just do the fucking poster c***!

Have set the club up with the Lions club network. just in process of getting webpage set up but if you want info i have set up twitter account. @kfordlions. if you follow us on there there is a little info in tweets but more to come
we are club 161 and am going to have good time meeting some more villa fans from round our neck of the woods.

I'm in Wordsley and the lad and I are ST holders - where do you meet ;-)
-
we are just setting the venue and time for the inaugral meeting. Most probably the Park Tavern on Cot lane, but will check with the gafferon his schedule.
So far there is myself as chairman and one other who will share banking duties. could do with someone who would have idea to make webpage.
it is all pretty easy going and i am not doing this to make profit, just to raise profile of the club in the area and have some fun.
we will be discussing membership fees as there is some expenditure needed ie badges and flag eventually with the grand idea to reward members with perks when we are up and running.
-
I hope it's better run than the Kingston Lions.
I've applied countless times to join the committee but Kingthing and his corrupt bunch of henchmen keep blackballing me.

When you set up your K'FORD lions branch, can you please let me know details as I live close to K'ford
There is already an established Black Country Lions Club. There are discussions about finding us a new home, after the one that was in Old Hill, was not centred enough.
-
Does anyone know if there's a Tamworth Lions badge out there? I tried to join via the lions club website but am still awaiting a confirmation email!

Hi Lee (is that the Lee who ran the coaches?)
Having a Lions's club on the doorstep would be great. Used to be a member of the Stourbridge Lions in the late 70's when it met in the busman's social club behing the Employment Exchange.
Great days

Hi mate, no it's Nige that runs the Coaches, but I have helped him out in the past.
There are some discussions on re-booting the Club, as it seems to have lost it's way a bit after leaving the Spring Meadow in Old Hill. Once I know more mate, I'll let you know.
-

I am running a mini coach to Swindon through Sedgley Lions, have you got anyone who would want to come with us?
-
we are thinking of doing a player tribute flag, anyone with photoshop fancy a go at putting something together, maybe for Ron Vlaar - Villa's dutch master or KEA. Someone epitomising good spirit and worthy of recognition. Guzan perhaps or maybe christian benteke? all ideas welcome as i know there are lots of you with good imagination and skills on the puter that i just cannot do!

Blimey the crest reprised on 179 (talking as a graphic designer, retired) is excellent and stronger than the Villa crest imho.
As a critique: I would also have the Lion extremities protruding even more onto the claret band in to give depth. "Lions" is in the name after all.
I see you have put a clever shadow around the Lion to overcome the stupid Villa decision to have a yellow lion on light blue. Dunno how you reproduce this in cloth. Like the Club crest it would be better with the old fragmented lion instead of our cartoon but thats not your choice.
Another option to bring it line with the club crest is to have the shield shape in the middle rather than another circle. The points would be proud on the claret with the Lion inside. Sorry to interfere but it looks great.

many thanks to all who have helped in the design and set up of the kingswinford lions. the badge looks smart doesnt it!

Good badge, and good luck for your new branch, mate!
-
Having recently moved to Halesowen I'm in need of finding a pub that streams the Villa games if anyone can help me out. If not, I suppose a trip to the Park Tavern in Kingswinford wouldn't be too bad. ;-)
