Apparently this site says I "won the day" here on 23rd Jan, 19th Jan, 9th Jan also 13th December, whatever any of that means. Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him?

Even working within the constraints of their ###### logo, all they had to do was take the leopard icon out of the shield for use in social media contexts. How hard is it? I could do it myself on my iPhone in 3 seconds 

have forwarded your details to @derekjohn"iloveleopardsme"beaumont

Ive had a go at league express branding... 

I didn't think it had to shout Rugby League... that seems to be the general way forward... I've focused on "Express" as, again it seems to be the thing to do, focus on just the one word.. jaunty angle which is "modern" obviously...

Here is a proposed rebrand of League Express.

Inspired by many Super League clubs adopting wild animals for their names, League Express becomes ‘The Sadler Gazette’.

·         The logo also follows recent trends in adopting within it a large, yet still subtle and appealing, visual of our namesake.

·         As a nod to the League Express’s rich history - and acknowledging fans’ preferences - the newspaper’s traditional colours of not-quite red and dirty gold are retained.

·         Our new mascots “Lelly” and “Elly” also subtly reference the old name, acknowledging all that has gone before whilst presenting a bold, modern and fresh identity.

·         The eagle-eyed might spot the inverted rugby balls in the shape of the mascots’ eyes whilst Lelly’s triangular legs project strength and stability. Elly is anything but a token female, rather being a witty and enthusiastic character that will appeal to fans of all ages.

·         At the same time we are pleased to announce the signings of William Shakespeare, Geoffrey Chaucer, Jane Austin as staff writers and welcome our new columnists Dally Messenger, Harold Wagstaff and Ellery Hanley.

Lelly wasn't modelled on Josh Charnley then?

I like how you've intentionally included a typo to reflect brand expectations...

This.

I was wondering this from the off. Why not just the leopard head? Did they not know how to use the rubber tool on MS Paint?

No drop-shadow. No underlining.

Fail.

🤣 I had to make sure I did it in under 5 minutes.. otherwise it just wasn't realistic for how I understood it worked in design...

I will of course charge league express for 15 hours at least...
