Cavaliers Sports Logo

Here is another sports logo that I created and mocked up on a football helmet. I'm practicing making sports logos, so I decided to create one for a team called the "Cavaliers." I chose the colors for the helmet has well. I wanted to have the sword and shield with the "C" in the middle and felt that could be worn on any athletic gear.

Coventry Bears by Ink Tycoon

One artist who's mascot I work is Mike Ray from Ink Tycoon. I'm sure if you used iStockphoto and looked for certain illustrations you may have come across his work. His creations are vector and clean, I know, because I had to find an image for a project one time and I ended up using one of his. I can appreciate good vector art and I also like mascot logos.
