DEAD! Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I dare somebody to do the Montgomery Biscuits Why? Too hard for you, talentless clown? No competition is complete without a little smack talk, but it did have to start with two chubby guys fighting over biscuits? Well it sure beats fighting over nuts I saw, I came, I left.

Brian in Boston Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I would consider them independant professional but the term "minor" to me at least implies your ability to work up from out of it. You can work your way "up from out of" an independent minor-league: your contract is purchased from your independent minor league or team by a major league organization.A minor-league team is, by definition, a non-major league team. Minor league teams can either be affiliated or independent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie010 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Question: Are you allowed to use part of the team's existing logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 Question: Are you allowed to use part of the team's existing logo? You may, since many secondary logos do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epper Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 WiB, i sent you a PM yesterday, not sure if you got it.Question: Are we allowed to do defunct teams? I had a single-A team in my hometown up until a couple years ago, when they moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajmccall Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 are we bound only to use the colors they use in their pallate, or can we add natural colors to whatever object we are making, for example, if i were making a logo for a cat, and the colors are orange and blue, but i wanted the eyes to be yellow. what im making has something that doesnt show up on the color scheme. Wanting to make sure thats cool. Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camden Crazy Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I have a few A and AA teams close by (and one AAA team), so this should be easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a single-A team in my hometown up until a couple years ago, when they moved. See:If it's not part of the major league farm system, then no.Also, current teams only.Use minorleaguebaseball.com if you need an additional reference.Also:I will serve as referee, and will answer any questions about rules and event criteria. Questions must be asked, and will be answered, within the event thread. I will not respond to PMs, instant messages or personal emails about an event until it ends. I will also have the final decision in any disputes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting to make sure thats cool. Using accent colors are OK, within reason. Using a color that belongs with an element that you're introducing into the design is OK too. Introducing a new color or changing a color without a logical reason are not. If the colors are orange & blue, you can give the cat yellow eyes. Or, your alt could be the yellow eyes. But, you can't make a yellow cat. Use your best judgement. The idea is to make a logo that fits in with the rest of the team's package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I haven't entered a contest in a long time (I know it did not cause any riots...) as I got a little ticked with the voting (remember the whole "vote-for-myself-GATE"?), but this time around, WIB has put such efforts into the organization including very tight rules, I have to give it a shot.Now, my drawing skills are still somewhat limited, but I realized that the only way to improve skills is to practice, and what better motivation than a contest such as this one.-One of the questions I have, is regarding the judging criteria: what's the importance of "Execution" vs "Concept"? Given the quality of illustrators who participated in the previous Logolympiad, I don't stant a chance if Originality of the concept doesn't way at least 50% of the mark...Not sure I'll have time to catch the first event, but I'll see what I can do.Ihave to do some research on those leagues and see if I can get inspired.(Wow, seems to me that there's way too much GREEN in The Midwest League of Professional Baseball... Also find the Swing logo to be somewaht familiar looking)Thanks for organizing this. @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braden Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 You know Frenchie, last year I was in your position.The Logolympiad was the first contest that got me to try new things. And I must have done something right to win 3 medals. It completely changed the way I do concepts, and all it takes is the different events/scenarios and a little bit of thinking outside the box.I'm really hoping that there's gonna be alot of people who really come out of nowhere to compete here. I know for sure that epper's one. I don't think anybody realizes how good he is.One thing I must say is that Paint users are at a huuuuuge disadvantage, but anything is possible.Oh and I'm positive that voting won't be a problem since it's anonymous.

DEAD! Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 One thing I must say is that Paint users are at a huuuuuge disadvantage, but anything is possible. Perhaps, but if you play with a few tricks here and there in Paint and maybe make good use of other software that you know how to use then you can make something cool as well I saw, I came, I left.

I would disagree with the Paint comment.To use paint and produce quality concepts, designers need to look at things in a different light, which ends up putting them in an advantageous positions.Just give me a list of 5 top Illustrators around here, I guarantee at least 3 are using Paint.I am convinced too that voting won't be a problem.And it it were I wouldn't know because I am not entering to win, but to motivate myself to learn the tools.I have develop some fairly solid PSP skills of late working o NASCAR Racing 2003 templates and am confidet that the next step for me is to start playing with vectors. I was looking at some of my favourite creations from last year and was trying to see how much better they would look if I were to redo them on layers...Best of Duck to All! @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
