I am leaning towards this design, as the other half say it is more eye catching.

Thanks for your suggestion the logo is only one I will use in the future. But honestly my goal was to get Pool Players, involved helping Youth, or Kids Playing Pool be it in a Boys, and Girls Club, City/Country Recreation Center, YMCA, or after School Program with the have Pool Tables.
As I have said before, and will say again these Kids are the future of Pool. Without the next generation of people playing pool the sport will die.

So, change the color! Let's see... popular colors to contrast with purple... yellow, orange....
If you don't find someone on the forum who will give you a price you like, check out cafepress.com zazzle.com or vistaprint.com I think they're all dot coms, but you would know if you got the right one, anyway. Lots of great products with these companies. I've bought from all 3, I think. Not sure about cafepress, but I know there are a couple of major items I'll be using them for, soon. (Christmas gifts)
Make sure you have free rights to the artwork or that you know and agree to their stipulations (in writing) before you use it. I know some folks who are going through some tough stuff over artwork, right now, and it's gonna cost them a bit of money. I would NOT like to see a kid-supporting organization hit by something so menial as an issue over artwork.
Good luck!

Good point, It would have to be in writing before use.
I just think it would be cool to see something grow from what has started with Cowboy right here on AZb.

I can change the colors.
Nobody thanked me for my pro-bono contributions, lol. but ur welcome. If you use my logo(s), make sure you let me know... Everything I posted I created (and can re-create/edit for you upon request). For my warm & fuzzies.. Maybe post a pic of one of the kids wearing a logo on a Tshirt, would like that.

Shame on me, as I thought I sent you a GREENIE the other day, honestly
I like all you designs, and i did send you another GREENIE just now.
BTW Thanks for your effort. I see ZERO REASON to change anything thing, as someone will always want a color change, or?? to be happy, leave will enought alone, as there are 5 GREAT Logo for Cues 4 Kids.
Now all we need do is get other players helping future players who are playing at Boys, and Girls Club, City/Country Recreation Center, YMCA, or after School Program with the have Pool Tables.
BTW I am now start to like this Design BEST, as it grow on you with time.

Hey Dawg, I didn't mean to seem critical. Those were all great graphics.
I just liked the other logo.
Bruce, heres a link to a forum member who does Tee shirts.
I haven't seen him post for awhile.

I'm going to head over to my T-shirt guys place today and see what I can get him to do.
I think I can get the templates, screens, etc. all donated and get a good discount on the shirts.
I'll post back when I got some pricing and see if we can get a good value to have 100% of the proceeds going to these charities!
I also created a ChipIn for people that want to donate some cash to this cause. http://azpoolscene.chipin.com/boys-a...-clubs-phoenix

Hey CocoboloCowboy...
I saw your article. Very nice. Glad to see someone is doing such a thing. When I first had my heart attacks, Gene and I had talked about doing repair work on cues for our local boys and girls club, but getting away from the house was hard for either of us, so we waited until we knew I was doing much better. Then came the cancer and another year or two of down time.
I am a lot better now and your story reminded us of our original desire to help the kids. We always loved the clubs and enjoyed spending time with our kids there, when they were young. This is a very simple way to give back.
So, I called, the other day. The local club had a total of 2 tables and 6 cues. Of those 6 cues, 3 had tips (just barely) and the other three didn't even have ferrules on them. We picked up 3 and had them fixed in time for their party that night, along with an extra one we had hanging around. I am delivering the other 3 plus another extra to them, today. Now, they will have 8 cues with tips and ferrules on them. I may take up a quick collection and spread them to different Boys & Girls Clubs and similar clubs in our area. It is a very simple thing I can do and Gene enjoys helping the kids learn the game and have decent tools to play the games with.
Thanks for the reminder, CocoboloCowboy! And, best wishes with your great little program you are starting up. It could turn out to be a very big thing in a hurry. I hope you're prepared for that kind of ride, Cowboy!

Honestly you are the first person who says you saw the article in it printed newspaper format, I have had no e-ail from the pool world about my project, or questions on how people can get involved where they live.
I was expecting a big wave of e-mail, but to date NADA. Tanks for your kind words.
