I have been very fortunate to have about 100 logos made for my leagues.
They were graciously provided by about 6-7 fine designers.
And I got some superb work with quite a bit of variety.
I always requested traditional logo...non-modern...and gave specific details including design and colors. The designers were very accommodating and even made alterations for me.
I was lucky because the logos forum was really active with many designers.
My first 80 were done in about 6 weeks. This was about 2 years ago.
That is not the case now. It seems to take much longer to get them done.

Several months ago I started a new fictional league with 20 teams.
It took about a month to get them done. And that was quick. I was overjoyed with the speed and the logo designs.

I got my best results when I posted my requests one at a time. When that one was done, then I would post another. Posting 20 at a time means some of the teams will be skipped because the designers have to check the whole thread. If there is only one request per thread, I feel they can quickly check that thread and see if it has been done or if they want to take a shot at it. I always include the logo name in the thread title. That seems to get the designers attention better. They know the team name and nickname. A vague term...logo needed...might not get them to look at the thread as quickly.

That's how I got some beautiful logos.

You can see them in the Eugene Church Collection...which should be called the "dbacks compilation"...because he did about half of them and posted them on a website.

You can see them here:

Another great site for logos is here:

http://www.thelogobank.net/

You might find some you can use there already produced.

Good Luck. Hope to see your logos done soon.
