I do want to say that the persons who asked the questions were fine with my answer also. No one was upset and they all had valid reasons for asking. After my explanation they seemed fine with the reasoning. So far all responses have been over whelmingly positive! I should of included that in the original post.

Default Don't be so hard on yourself Lynn.

The logo is VERY cool. And yes, it resembles a Mr. Everything, but so what? It's not an exact replica of it, so you've done your part about being "all-inclusive". I like the angle of the figure and the base detail. The shield and the colors are awesome. You are the best person for the job, and you did an outstanding job. The hobby is blessed to have a talent such as you who will step up and do something like this.
Now you need to practice your offense, so you can beat Lance (kickoff returns can't always keep you in games).

Yep, he definately looks like "Mr. Everything" I didn't realize his arms were reversed until yo told us. You describe where the work really comes in when creating logos. Sometimes it can be very difficult to say everything and represent everyone in such a small space (logo). I commend you for trying to create a figure that wasn't already manufactured so as to not represent any company. Here's the part that I'm not sure folks think about:

We know the logo has to say "Miniature Football" when we look at it. We shouldn't have to read it to figure this out. So we decide that it needs a figure. This was an excellent decision by the board. Now Wolf had to create a figure that looked like a miniature football figure, not a football player. What I'm trying to say is that it needs to resemble a plastic figure, not a person. Now if you create a totally new pose it will only look like a football player (person) because we haven't seen any plastic figures in that pose to relate it to. So in order to make it say "miniature football" he had to incorporate plastic figure traits that are familiar to us. If he didn't it would have just been a player and said only "football". The only thing I can think of other than what he did, and he may have tried this, would have been to use one of the original "fab five" poses. Because of their history these say "miniature football", and we've come to love and accept them as a community. But on the flip side they are still manufactured by a company and I'm not sure, but there could have been possible legal problems down the road. What is a brutha to do?

Wolf, great job, I can tell you put a lot of thought and work into this. Thanks for doing the logo for the MF community (miniature football for ya'll who went there ), it is greatly appreciated! Remember, everyone ain't gone be happy but most will.

In a few years, next time around when it is decided that the logo will be updated, holla at me, I'll submit a few versions to help relieve some of the pressure off of you. You do a lot for this hobby and it shouldn't go unoticed.

We are just starting to come together, or at least it looks like it. Don't let the logo stop you from being a part of this organization.

David C.

He looks like he's making a "football move" so he should be able to make an interception, if that ever comes up.
Well done Wolf!

Default Great Logo

I Think The Logo Is Great And Says Miniature Football. I Only Hope Someday In The Future It Will Be Available In A Vinyl Decal. One I Can Put On My Trucks Bumper And On The Siderail Or Field Of My 308.

The logo is great. The only thing it needs is a Wolf like character dressed up with a Chiefs costume.
