Not that I want to make an as of my self because I think most of your work my friend it is fantastic but I think a ball would have been better in this design in stead of the HD but that is just my opinion, But grate work never the less.
@Rabbi Hi Rabbi. I see your point. However I have a personal dislike for footballs on crest, don't like them. An exception might if the design of the ball is one from the 30s.
Besides that, my concept to start this design was to make something that might look MLS-like and being related to Baseball logos as well, without being too much like LA Galaxy or identical with Houston Astros, which is a logo that I really like. So my start point was the HD monogram and the other elements were coming from the current one with a minimalist mindset, although this one ended up with more colors than I liked. I did some other versions, but I just send this one and now I didn't want to be disqualified. When the voting process for this one is over, I'll post the other one, and the process as well.
Thanks for you feedback! I hope to see your work more often in the competition.
Pierrelapa, i see your point, yes many do not like football in crests, personally I tend to use them if the club has had ball in their crest before, if there is no history of football in earlier crest then I skip them or I try to. The competitions are not all that important to me I just like doing logos and take the challenge to try what I can come up with and place it here if someone is interested. What I have seen of your work is very good and I look forward to see more designs from you, keep up the good work my friend.
