    How do you make them? Does anyone know, I have been asked by my club to make one for them... I'm looking to make one on my pc but I am useless at photoshopping and all that.

    Any suggestions?

    post up what you want to convey here and in pix'n'mix and we can all have a go designing one for you.

    basically i would base the crest around the following

    Club colours
    parish name/meaning
    the club sports
    the parish history

    Firstly, decide on the shape of it - round, 'crest' shaped etc.

    Then get either famous landmark from your area, include a football, hurley, handball or whatever. Any type of history from your area can be includes.

    Keep it simple though. Less = more.

    Or even better, get the Juveniles in your club to design it. Give them a prize - jersey, or tracksuit or something. Creates inclusiveness in the club, and generates interest.

    Yeah, I was thinking about putting in the Red hand of Ulster, a football (because we are only a football club), and a Lake with drumlins around it and a boat in the lake. Because the lake is fairly famous in the area and we are in the middle of the drumlin belt in Cavan and Monaghan. I am also thinking of using the shape of the new crests ie. Cavan and Meath's new crests...

    Our nickname is the Brian Borus and the English meaning for the name of our town is "young love".

    We don't have a crest at the moment...

    Cheers for the the help lads...

    but remember that the Red Hand is not really for Ulster... Don't go down the road of the new crests, they are aweful

    decide on the shape, then try and fit in everything. Put the club name on a scroll below the crest, as Gaeilge.

    Drumlins are small hills - everyone knows that.
