A Hip & Dynamic Soccer / Football Logo Needed!

SoccerNews.com

SoccerNews.com is a well esablished news site with 1000s' of vistiors every day.

Site audience is predominantly male (62%), aged 18-35 (50%).

The logo should be dynamic, cool, modern, raw, grungy, edgy & fresh. Have to capture the passion and excitement of soccer/football without using excessive effects or imagery.

Colors: Orange, Greys, White, Black, even some Green (use green to a miminum). It's important that the logo could adapt to different color schemes for different branding purposes like t-shirts, media print, business cards etc. Ideally/primarly work on a basis of a black background.

Ideal logo: Adidas, Nike and football videogames graphic styles in terms of the sport. But with a more edgy and raw feel to it.

If you plan to include a football / soccer ball then make sure to use something with new patters like the latest Adidas or Nike ball. The old patterns (squared) are pretty much out today.

Format: The format should be in PSD and also in vector format (filetypes .eps/.ai/etc).

IMPORTANT! DON'T use an resemblance to the current logo or site/theme. The current design will be changed shortly and we want a new fresh logo for this.
