TEMPLATES: the great rebuilding

[zer0dotcom]

alright kiddies! time to clean up around here. First thigns first, we have to fix up that Templates thread.

Yes, it's been with us since the board first began, but it has stagnated into a wasteland of dead links and too many posts. SO! I am going through the task of creating a NEW templates thread.

If we could, i would like to pull together all the links we have to existing templates, both vectors and rasters. I will create a new LOCKED thread (no posts, no clutter, just tempaltes) with all the templates within.

please include the following information when submitting a template:

Raster or vector:

Size:

Sport:

Creator (if not yourself):

In my sig are the Vectored Football and Baseball Templates.

Saved in Illustrator 10.

Football (700kb) - I think a few people got involved in designing this one. Nick1773, Tempest and others. (Sorry guys, I don't know who you are)

Baseball (2Meg) - MLB template from their Uniform History Style Guide on their website.

Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually I have another idea.

I've already volunteered hosting these to zero, we'll see if that's the way we want to go.

But I think this is a good idea.

When we post a template, could we also have a Thumbnail pic of what the thing looks like? Like I've done above.

That way, rather than download a whole pile of templates, then never using them, you know beforehand what it looks like and can choose based on that.

Also, I suggest these pics can expand to be the blank raster version of the templates, so people without vector software don't have to look in different places for essentially, the same template.

any chance of getting an AI v8.0 version of those temps, rmered?

Yep.

Here's the football one of these

It's on my Angelfire site for now, I'll put them somewhere decent when I get home from the office. (The corporate firewall won't let me use FTP s/ware at the office)

Try grabbing it now

(Angelfire, you have to drag it into the Address, clicking on it won't work)

The baseball one is a problem. Because it's full of images (mostly the players skin), and because AI8 doesn't handle them very well, the file ends up being just over 15 Meg.

I could load it if you really want it. But if you're not going to use it I won't.

It says it isn't there.... (and yes, i dragged, i did not click)

I can wait until you have a more reliable location for them. And oh yes, i will be using both.....

I really like that idea Rem. Alittle preview of what you are getting rather than a description only

Bloody Angelfire was stuffing it up.

It should work now.

Surely someone here can do the pages to look something like this.

Or I could adapt my template to suit.

All we then need is the pics, which takes 5 minutes, and somewhere to store them.

Which I volunteer for.

If you are willing, that would be most awesome

I'm working on getting everything on my website so I'll probably get those up at some point.

My fields template page is still active.

[rmered]

Would people mind if I hosted their template on my website?

I don't want to step on toes.

I'd obviously give full recognition to the deisgner, so long as we know who it was.

Eg If I host St Patty's new hockey player template. Would anyone get weird about who hosts it, and who is downloading it?

EDIT

[gordie_delini]

In case you guys didn't see the other post i did about this, I am creating illustrator and paint compatible templates for all of the major manufacturer's duds for this season and beyond. here's that post: http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?showtopic=29287

[PTX_777]

How do you use these templates?Rmered's football templates

[Le Québécois]

Here is the hockey template created by St.Pattys33.

Since I use MSPaint for my concepts, I took the original and let's say I MSPainterized it so it can be use with MSPaint...

It's under the .png format

Have fun
