Guest Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Colombia. Oh well, might as well work something out with cocaine... or a silhouette of Falcao getting tackled by the french amateur that made him miss the World Cup.Ahem.One question though, will you put on some rules for the submission ? Something kinda bothered me in your European Tournaments: it's that some concept had a whole designed background and text as explanation, sometimes nearly shadowing the logo concept itself, while others were just the logo thrown out in a white backgound. I personnaly thought at first that you couldn't add text or a background to the concept and made the 3 concepts at the same time with just a plain background, I was kinda surprised when I saw the other submissions (don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to justify my horrible rankings haha).I think it could be fair to explain what's ok for the concepts (background, explanation for the elements chosen in the logo and shirts), or even ask everyone to get a similar template (like logo in the center, shirts on its left and right or whatever you want).I'm against any kind of template restriction... I've worked hard to make my template, I should be able to use it This just comes across as whining to me honestly, there is a good balance between text and artwork and as you see from Jaffas concept that is a perfect balance. Text should enhance the concept not dominating it. Having a good presentation is just as much apart of the concept as the actual jersey itself.

raysox Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Well with this, I'm allowing paragraphs to accompany the design to help get votes. So words on the image wouldn't do anything. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdp Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Well with this, I'm allowing paragraphs to accompany the design to help get votes. So words on the image wouldn't do anything."Wouldn't do anything" in what sense? Basically, we already are allowed the explanatory text so image text is pointless? Or is it a suggestion to disregard any image text when casting votes?I'm OK with whatever is decided, but I'm reading this two ways, so I wanted to clarify. "Type something, will ya?

raysox Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yeah, I meant it as what would written on the image would already be said in the explanatory paragraph. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marble21 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Sorry to be a pain but I am still not 100% sure what you are saying. Are you suggesting that each entry should just be images only and then be complimented with a paragraph of text submitted to you, with which you will post in the thread as each group is unveiled? Or, it is acceptable for text to be both on the image as well as in the paragraph?OFF TOPIC...and as for Ecuador becoming my "second team" thanks to this contest. Maybe not...

raysox Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Okay. There's no restrictions on text or not but you'll have a chance to submit a paragraph anyway so why bother with putting it on the image. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not...Yeah well Sterling kind of deserved the attack with that brutal tackle on Valencia...come one, it's a friendly prior to the World Cup. It could have (and I say could have) ended Valencia's World Cup. Not really needing that in a pre-World Cup match.

BlackBolt3 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Quick question that I came across in designing, is brand switching allowed? Since Costa Rica has Lotto as a sponsor, would I be able to change it another one, or is that gonna be frowned on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 When you say a new logo does that mean we're designing a new badge for the team or is it to be a more North American style sports logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinM6 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm doing my crest right now, and I'm wondering is it okay that I keep the shield from the current one and incorporate that into my design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysox Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 The World Cup has started! You have a few more days to submit, which is good because I only have about 5 concepts. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Still working out some kinks with the uniforms and I'm polishing my logo. I had some artist's block but today I came up with multiple ideas and I now I don't know which one to pick. I'll probably take at least five more days to think about it.I really hope everybody gets their work in. Would be a shame for a great contest like this to be marred because some people didn't fulfill their promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
