HurricaneDavid Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 So is it just me, or does the red in the LCS logos look like a dark red, and PANTONE 199 look like a pinkish red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I have trouble viewing colors accurately on screen, too. When I pull up a PANTONE color in photoshop, it has completely different RGB and CMYK values than it does in Illustrator, yet all my CS2 programs are color synchronized in Adobe Bridge. The colors are actually more accurate in Photoshop. A good example is the PANTONE 200 in my Georgia Bulldogs concept; it's very magenta looking, just like PANTONE 199 is in the little box up there. When I matched up a swatch to Georgia Red as it appears on their website and logos, the closest matches in Illustrator were PANTONE 187 and PANTONE 1805 and PANTONE 1807, depending on how dark or light I wanted. Can anyone shed some light on this? It's driving me wild! I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 This is why all of the colors I use in my graphics and those Team Colors listings I generate from my database use the sRGB color space that Pantone, Inc. has designated as correct for displaying on computer monitors. Of course, you also need a properly calibrated monitor to really get the full effect, but they are MUCH more accurate in relation to how they will look when printed.Adobe uses different alogrithms to convert from CMYK to RGB, and Pantone's values are based on color science - there's no formula to derive them.

TruColor Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 ...waitaminute. The League Championship Series logos use DIFFERENT Pantones than the official MLB colors. My bad. They ARE darker. I'll post some color-corrected versions in a minute... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlinfan Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 OK...here they are:(hides head in shame) I guess Fox saw the blandness of this logo because they are using a version inwhich the league logos are directly behind "League Championship Series". 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
