    Football team crest on driveway

    Am I allowed to have the crest of my favourite football team painted on the driveway? Would I need planning permission for this? Would it need to be limited to a certain size/proportion of the driveway? Would driveway pavers or painters likely undertake this job or would I need to search far and wide to find someone for the job?
