All the different types of Queensland's croquet club logos
You'd think there are only so many ways to draw a mallet, yet all our clubs' logos look nothing alike.
here are only so many ways to draw a mallet, yet our club logos look nothing alike. Of our 41 clubs, 33 have a logo, and they fall into a handful of families. Which one is yours?

Club logos based on the Croquet Queensland logo
Seven clubs use Croquet Queensland's own drawing of a mallet, hoop, ball and stars, recoloured and with their own name in place of "QUEENSLAND". Bribie Island went gold and teal, Southport red and blue, and Gracemere set it inside a green ring.

Round badge club logos
A circle, like a seal or a coin. Merthyr's four balls sit on the rim. Eildon wraps its mallets in tartan. Stephens fits a whole little court inside its badge.

Shield and crest club logos
The traditional club badge. Ipswich has a full coat of arms, with a lion holding a sailing ship and two sea-horses. Windsor has a laurel wreath, and Toombul looks like an classic enamel pin. Many carry a year: Bundaberg 1900, Ipswich 1908, Graceville 1919.

Club logos that show local scenery
Some clubs drew their scenery. Burleigh Heads Palm Beach has palm trees and surf, with no mallet anywhere. Pine Rivers drew a pine tree above the river. The Range-Maleny needed only one red brushstroke for its ridge.

Coolum's shark and Wynnum's seagull logos
Coolum's fierce cartoon shark swings a mallet as the ball flies off. Wynnum's seagull carries one in flight.

Club logos made from equipment or lettering
East Brisbane lines up four coloured balls. Nambour paints its mallets and hoop on royal blue. McIlwraith needs no picture at all, only a large, simply stated "CMC" in old-English letters.

The blazer badge beside the CAQ Heritage Logo, in maroon and one colour
Croquet Queensland's old-school blazer badge: a big white Q with a curled tail, holding a hoop, a mallet, two balls and the word "CROQUET". The clean CAQ Heritage Logo has been drawn from this photo of a State Team blazer logo which has been worn for over 50 years. It comes in maroon, white, see-through and one-colour versions, all free to download from the ClubHub page below.
Croquet Queensland is making websites for its clubs, and a web page needs a clean, sharp logo. So every logo was cleaned up, without changing its design or wording. Each club now has up to three files: one on white, one see-through for coloured pages, and one see-through for dark colours.
See every logo, and download your club's for free, on the ClubHub Club logos page.
If your club would like a logo designed, or its current logo freshened up, at no cost, just ask: email hello@croquetqld.org.
