Above is the badge of the SAS. My local cricket team wants to get some polo shirts made up with a modified version, instead of a winged dagger, they want a winged cricket bat and the motto, 'Who Cares Who Wins'.

Any help you could give me in this serious enterprise would be gratefully received..............

Sounds like a job for fB - offer a bounty of a 3-litre bottle of White Ace and you're in

I'll have a play later if I'm not too drunk. I've got a bbq to go to this afternoon. It's a hard life.

I should have asked for some sort of agency consultancy percentage fee, but as I'd rather set my eyelids on fire than drink White Ace, I'll let you have this a freebie.

It still needs a bit of a clearup and I haven't got round to putting a bat in yet.

When you see it like that you realise there's a "hidden" anchor in there as well. That's dead clever that is.

Thanks for your input Dan (Don't know if I can afford two bottles of White Ace)

It's pretty much what I was thinking of, but can the bat be bigger and go down behind the motto?

Looking at Bens mock up, it might look a better fit if the bat was upside down?

I was planning to take out the funny bit which the sword sits on (like on the left side below) and sort of sit a cricket bat in the the middle. (Quick over the top sketch)...

Although probably down a bit from that so goes under the motto and pokes out the bottom sot of, and obviously not silly colours.

I was also going to draw a bat in a similar style to the rest of the logo, with quite a think Black outline and then just block colour and simple highlights.
