Contest Brief

I'm looking for a logo that encapsulates the essence of our basketball sports podcast, "Making The Team". The logo should be a fun, yet professional sports-themed design that incorporates text that would be seen as sports styled. Minimalist. See the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader picture for inspiration.

Key Requirements:
- The logo should be primarily text-based, with the words "Making The Team" being the focal point.
- It should have a retro feel, reminiscent of the golden age of sports broadcasting, while still being modern and appealing to today's audience.
- There should be versions of the logo that are clean, minimalist text-only designs, as well as more complex designs that incorporate a basketball and microphone or a scoreboard.
- The logo should ultimately be clean and simple, with the option to add in more complex elements as needed.
The text should have a feature behind it, making it stand out like glowing on the edges, or different colors. (see picture)

Ideal Skills:
- Graphic Design
- Logo Design
- Experience with Sports-related Branding
- Ability to create clean, minimalistic designs
- Familiarity with retro aesthetic
-Advertising
Please submit different color options. Would like the text of "Making The Team" on the logo to have another color glowing behind it or be offset with a second color. I have included the basketball texture if it looks cool to add into logo.

The logo should use the following colors: White background, a glowing color behind the Making The Team text to make it stand out.
