RIPmetrodome Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I thought of a new sig idea that basically is a custom-made circle featuring a team logo, a player name, and his number. Here are two UPDATED examples (UPDATED 8/13 AT MIDNIGHT):Please continue to give me some C&C. If there is any way I can fix it to increase interest, that would be great. You can request up to 9, since there are 9 players on a baseball team. H.H.H. Metrodome - The greatest dome in the history of Minneapolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL1016 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Very messy.. clean these up. make sure the logo's background matches the on deck circle's color. Get rid of the black lines around the logos too. [Coloring History Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swilson160 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Decent concept, terrible execution. Biggest concern is that it is way too big for a sig. But if you make it smaller, will player names still be readable?If you clean this up and shrink it, you'll be on your way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPmetrodome Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Here is my updated Torii Hunter batting circle sig. I made the numbers larger and moved them to the center. I also drew the logo myself by tracing it on inkscape, so i could avoid the black lines. id say the logo i traced looks pretty similar to the actual logo.is that small enough, or do i need to go smaller?

Screen back the logo, reduce the size of the numbers (and make them so they're not stretched out) and make the name wrap to the shape of the oval and I think it would help a lot.

Bmac Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Good start, but it needs work. Here are a few ideas:-make it more of a circle than an oval-make them a bit more "sig size friendly". You could resize them to 150x150 or 100x100, maybe even smaller.-less cluttered. Make the names stand out more from the logo behind it, perhaps with a white outline?Keep at it, these can turn out good. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPmetrodome Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 i updated the sig so the names are curved to the shape of the circle. i also made the numbers and logo smaller.tell me what you think. i tried to change it based on your criticism, but im not quite sure if i did what you actually requested. i did consider all of your ideas, and all of them would make this sig better.

chestnutz Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 It doesn't look like a batting circle at all, just call them circle sigs.You stretched the logo, which looks absolutely horrible. Design rule #whatever (definitely top 10 though).Just looks cluttered and messy, sorry man, just start over. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be circles. I'm not really sure what you are going for here, it's just a logo, text, and number in a not very organized layout with a circle around it. There needs to be some type of cohesive theme, right now it just looks like a bunch of separate elements. Dribbble ... Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
