Pine Straw Golf Company Logo design project

This is what Pine Straw Golf Co. was looking for in their logo design

I am looking at creating a golf brand. Pine straw is the grouping of pine needles resting below a pine tree. Google search and you’ll see exactly what it is. On many golf courses the pine straw is not cleaned up and removed but rather left below the trees. I want a logo that is upscale, classy, appealing that can be placed on a polo, t-shirt, hat, club head cover, ball marker etc.
the logo text should not be integral to the design as I don’t want the name to always be included where the logo is placed.
The tree and pine straw should be the focal point.
For example a polo shirt with the logo over the left breast and perhaps the company name is found on the sleeve, or nowhere at all. Read more
