    Simonds Caps

    Simonds, to me they look more like movie title cards than logos. i think that's probably because there's a lot of empty space between the lettering and the border. art deco clothing logos tend to be quite compact and 'full'. also, if you can incorporate a drawing or other graphic shape too...

    vintage style cricket boots

    these are original Peal and Co WW2 boots: the company closed in 1965 and the name was bought by Brooks Brothers. the boots today are outsourced to one of the Northampton factories such as Crockett and Jones (hence the C&J name in the above listing).
