Australian Lawn Bowls Club New Logo Needed

Ryde City Bowling Club needs a new logo. They are not happy with the current logo. The club is a lawn bowls community club – where they provide members and guests with dining facilities, bar, poker machines and event rooms for parties and corporate seminars etc.

Ryde City Bowling Club

The club is a lawn bowls community club – where they provide members and guests with dining facilities, bar, poker machines and event rooms for parties and
corporate seminars etc.  Lawn Bowls is
traditionally seen as a sport for really old people, but is starting to be more
popular as a recreational activity, with Corporate Bowls Days being quite
popular.  People also arrange a birthday
party in the function room, with a game of bowls for fun before dinner. 

So the club wants to appeal to younger crowds, businesses
and the general community to come to the club for events and meeting
people.  A lot of clubs like this have
pretty average websites, we are going to try to give them something more
stylish.

Once the logo is approved, we will be looking for a design
for the site as well.  We have a general
layout already – that will be provided either in another contest, or might be
commissioned directly to a designer. 
That will be later.

Lawn Bowls, Community meeting place, party venue, Fun,
relaxing, exciting, social.

Here is a link to the old logo, to give you an idea of what they don't like, as well as some pictures of
the club, to give you an idea of what the actual club looks like.

- Logo needs to say in text: “Ryde City Bowling Club”

- Some graphical element or icon, perhaps  balls, or  figure of a bowler, or something else suggesting  fun, activity etc

- OPTIONAL: Graphic element to say “est. 1908”  in small writing.

- OPTIONAL: Use “RCBC” in the graphic element.

- Graphic element should not be some random abstract thing,
unless it captures the essence of the club.
