Logo Design Brief
Need a new logo for the very first bowling tournament I created back in 1991. Unlike most other competitions that only offer head-to-head match play to the few who survive the cut to the finals, this event features match play from beginning to end, hence the 'madness.' Said another way, some think we are insane to have created an event like the Match Play Madness.
The logo will be used online, on tournament flyers, and on event merchandise such as jerseys, T-shirts, etc.

Slow in providing feedback
My apologies for being out of touch but the past week has been chaotic with two visits to my doctor. I have refined the brief as I have received numerous designs more suitable for a business card than for promoting an exciting bowling tournament. I hope you'll take the time to revisit it. As a result, I have extended the project and will commit to a winning design later this week. Thank you for your creativity and your patience.

Requirements
Must have
- I'd like to see a version in which the emphasis is on the word "madness." This is NOT a design for a business card, but instead be a design that conveys excitement and the uniqueness of the event.
Nice to have
- It would be nice to have the flexibility to incorporate a bowling ball and pins without distracting from the logo.
Should not have
- This is NOT a design for a business card, but instead be a design that conveys uniqueness and excitement.
