this is a header i'm working on for a special section for our newspaper to commemorate the Little League season. Bascially this section will be a big scrapbook of team pictures with a little bit of editorial content. i've been working on this this morning and i'm having a bit of trouble getting it just right. there's not much to it, but any help would be appreciated. Thnx

thanks tiff, i made some changes.
how's this?

I agree with Tiffany, on all accounts, but isn't this an existing logo already?

i'm sure that the Little League organization already has a logo, but that's not what this is for. i'm trying to put together something snappy for our local clubs. I guess i forgot part of it. let's try this again...

I think what I was referring to as an existing Little League logo (which reminded me of what you are doing here) can be illustrated with these images:

The following images represent some type treatments I think work well in this arena:

Good luck!

Dude Paul Don't use the smalls version of the sanserif typeface you have selected. That typeface doesn't have a small caps version.

I think that is the exact "little league" logo just strangly modified.

thanks for the tips, suggestions.
i'll post what i've got so far for some last minute comments.
i was going for the baseball jersey look, that's why i did what i did. I was gonna use Nick's Team Spirit font, but I used that last year and it's a bit too cute for what i was going for this time around. Anyhow, I've tried to incorporate your suggestions. If you could take a look again and lemme know whatcha think, I'd appreciate it. thnx again!

Oh and BTW, the official Little League logo (as far as I know) is the logo on the banner that the girls are holding.

Paul could you try using a serif face for Season 2004 the san serif seems a harsh contrast to Little League.
