BVZ Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Really wish the Ravens would go with purple pants on the road against a black heavy team like the Steelers. White pants would also be superior to the leotard look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have AT LEAST gone with this ... I'm sure someone has already done this in Madden, but I'd be interested to see how the Lions' gray jersey looks with their blue pants. That would probably be the only way to salvage that jersey in my opinion, and even then, it would still be an unnecessary alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerws Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 You'd end up with empty space so the team likely went with that. Plus the bug is more to put the trademark on the video anyway. Consistency would be nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know about blue, but silver/dark grey/silver isn’t horrible. I’ve also done the whites with the CR pants and regular socks and it looked better than I expected.

Now, I haven't seen the Patriots Brand Guidelines, but I'd be willing to wager that wall-mount violates their own usage rules. The watermark in the corner on the video is how it's supposed to be seen and that's because it shows the face as a face with its contours and shadows and not a photo negative of a face.

If the one in the corner is the "official" one, then I'm pretty sure that's a new thing. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

I would be shocked if you're not correct. The logo looks wrong the way they put it on the wall - the face doesn't read the same way in a photo-negative form. No way the designer intended that.

The inverted logo they used still has 3 separate pieces, same number of pieces it would take to use the correct version. Might as well use the correct one.

Sport Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 29 minutes ago, WSU151 said: Yeah it's easier to do what they did instead of having a floating star and face in an empty logo. I designed dozens of signs for lobbies and offices and waiting rooms similar to this when I worked for a signage company so I have a weird bit of expertise here. It's not any easier or harder. These things are cut by a computer and a machine and the installers use a pattern when they put it on the wall. It's the same amount of work either way. If you're worried about the "floating star and empty face", which is what their logo is, then another way to handle that would've been to use multiple layers, with the base layer (the hat and face outline) being a darker color metal and then place the face, star, and flag trails on top of it using a lighter color finish, rather than incorrectly ghosting the logo. The other option is you take a piece of metal that's cutout in the shape of the whole logo, with the outline, and then you place another sheet of a darker color with the face, star, and flag trails removed and place that on top which allows the brighter color to show through. Basically the way they did it was the worst option. Quote If the one in the corner is the "official" one, then I'm pretty sure that's a new thing. I've only ever seen the Patriots logo used that way, which leads me to believe that's how they wrote their guideline. Merchandise dating back to the debut of the logo pretty much exclusively uses the official logo with the outline where the face and star is a lighter color than the background except for fashion caps and the like where the rules were broken for a specific design choice, which wasn't the case with the locker room fixture.

I don't really disagree...I think those hats were from years ago (and I had a black Reebok Patriots hat with 95% "inverted" gold logo). I would hope they have new standards like the ones you've mentioned. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

tjs11 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I disagree. I think there might be 2 one color versions to be used in different cases. Things like youtube videos, social media photos: outlines are white because there it makes sense to see through the negative space. Everyone here is saying that they should use the same application on the wall art? Well then 90% of the logo would be painted drywall with 1 inch metal outlines. Different applications, different versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks better, but you have to go with grey socks to help it balance out and avoid the yoga pants look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
