Oakfield Archers logo

For years now, the Oakfield Archers logo in both printed and on-line formats has been that of a scanned image of the official cloth badge used on all team clothing etc. I remember when I was a member of the club (in my late teens) that there was a decent print quality version of the logo in black and white that was identical to the metal discs used as both the medal & trophy centres and the official label badges, but I have been told that this has been lost over the past few years.

As part of the redesign, I figured that I wanted to move away from the traditional green and/or white designs that I see so many sites using and either focus on the club colours of orange and black as this is more in keeping with the identity of the club. I also decided that I should attempt to redraw the entire club badge from scratch in an attempt to give it a more polished look.

The attached images are the release candidates that I have been working on since I started the redesign a few months ago. I am not totally happy with the the orange banner, which was taken from the outline of the one on the cloth badge and heavily retouched, but otherwise I think that it is a significant improvement. There are two versions of the logo, one with a block font which visually stands out and one with an Olde English font which, as far as I can remember, closely matches the letterhead format of the club.
