Making up my own teams, now! Colourful birds make for interesting features in badge designs, because you can sample and play with the colours from the bird itself and use contrasting colours to make them stand out. I found this Kingfisher vector online and did a quick search to find somewhere in the country where you might expect to see one. Fowlmere Swans F.C. — based in the village of that name in northern Cambridgeshire — already exists, so here's a fictional local rival for them. There is a white outline on the outer edge of the shield. As I create these logos for use in FM, I have a finite space to work to, which is actually quite a useful restriction. Breaking the featured object (or animal) out of the confines of the holding device — in this case, the shield — makes for a more dynamic result and by tucking the leaves of the branch behind the edge of the shield, while the tail and the beak overlap that same edge works to push the bird to the forefront of your attention, in a kind of 3-D effect... at least, that's what I think and it's ideas like that which inform the decisions I make when I'm working on these logos.
