Below are a bunch of crests that tie in with my idea to create a graphic design themed crest.
I love the simplicity of the logo above and the use of the cross that contains the letters. This could work well with BAGD or LCA because they're such short words. The dotted lines break up the letters but aren't too intrusive.
I really like the top left one, again it's pretty simple and the circular dotted lines do well to break it up but also add to what would be a boring design. It somehow resembles a patch which ties in well with the theme of scouts and camping.
The use of hexagon is unusual because they are usually either a circle or a square/diamond. There seems to be an recurring theme throughout the logos I have researched they all seem to be simple shapes that contain light weighted strokes and limited type. This would be perfect for what I need because I don't want to overcomplicate things and give too much information in one go.
Setting the type to fit inside of a shape is a good idea and it mixes things up as opposed to having boring horizontal type that sits on a imaginary baseline in the centre. I could also put text along a path to form a shape, the possibilities are endless and leaves me open to many ideas.
