Pharos04 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I came up with this back in December just playing around after seeing a few signatures that incorporated team logos and the dates of their respective league championships. So I decided to mess around with my hometown teams and came up with a pretty simple but effective piece that would look good as a desktop, or a printout for a room or cubicle or what have you. In any case here's my Boston version. I am currently working on a New York one and will progress across the country to Chicago, LA and even wherever else I could think of that has multiple sports franchises and championships. C & C greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbreadmann Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 1st -- Of course, I love the premise. Okay, you HAVE to save as png. Just for future reference; as right now the jpg compression is making it lose a lot of quality. Also, the trophy statues look choppy. And the trophies. How are you scaling them down?I think the font could be changed but isn't bad now. However, I think you should present the years in a different manner. It looks... awkward now.Finally, one more thing that I think could look really cool. How about using the team's logo at the time that they won that particular championship? Like you wouldn't have the recent Bruins logo at all, like you would use the 1972 logo for the 1972 banner.Very nice start though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiK Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 god i hate bostonbut very nice work. i agree with the comment above, use the logo at the time of the championshipand maybe throw an * or two next to the patriots superbowls..... 73, 77, 81, 83, 90, 06 29, 30, 31, 36, 39, 44, 61, 62, 65, 66, 67, 96, 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 how would a detroit look?btw, that does look really imposing if ur not a boston fan lol Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharos04 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Thanks for the input guys. I will definitely tweak them and see how these look with the "logo at the time" thing. I'll work on a Detroit one next. I'm currently finishing up the NY one and it's WAY more imposing than the Boston one. I just need some sort of picture of the Ed Thorp Trophy. But I will start a Detroit one for you ASAP. And any other requests for cities as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodfather Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I would love a NY one I know you will enjoy that.Islanders, Rangers, Giants, Jets, Yankees, Mets, Knicks.Maybe even an 18-1 banner for yourself? Lol, only kidding.A Tampa one would be cool, but it would just be 2 blocks with each championship for the Bucs and Lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 thanks man...i look forward to seeing both the NY and D-town ones.just thought of this...i dunno if u might be interested, but what about a college version, where u have banners representing certain sports that the college has won 'ships in...

C & C greatly appreciated(note: puke smiley aimed at city used in concept not at actually at the current concept)You know this makes a better wallpaper than it does signature. which i am guess it is for that, since it is slightly less than wallpaper size.oh and i want a city of new york one. With both the Yankees and Mets, Rangers and Islanders, Knicks(if they have one), and Jets and Giants one. yes i want a super imposing new york city of champions one. Spoilers!

Pharos04 Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Alright. Here are NYC and DTown. and per request I will now work on a Montreal one for Akuma. and for clarification, the reason there are blanks as far as trophys for the early Giants, Lions and Pistons is because I cannot find a nice clean easy photo of the earlier trophies that were handed out. Any suggestions as far as those would be fantastic(and yes the NY one is VERY imposing I must admit)And now including Montreal with its very many Stanley Cups. yikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbreadmann Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 The logos and trophies are still really choppy -- perhaps you should try resizr.com?Also, did you think about using the vintage logos for old championships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowcap30 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 if u are using paint and dont have any other resources, you can resize the logos and get them more clear by using MS Word...that will resize a pic and not make it look choppy...then just copy it but clicking print screen and just crop it in Paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And possible make it a tad wider so the Yankees fit all on 1 line. And also, could you make it with the Rangers badge logo and the Knicks triangle logo. Sorry if I'm being a pain but I really do love these. Thanks so much in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
