Big Logo Challenge
I have the collection of historical logos that you can download here:
http://www.planetootp.com/historicallogos.zip
I did not design this collection, but whoever did, great job in organizing them into the historical collection. I have implemented them into a program to be used with the 2007 version of the game. Here is how it works.
You create the historical league and then do a CSV dump. You then set the game to do an automatic csv dump of the leagues file and the teams file. You then run my program and it will add the correct logos based on the current year of the simulation. It works fantasic. You can be running multiple seasons, like from 1901 to 1954, when you stop it, all of the logos are correct. No matter when you stop it. The program runs in the background waiting for the dumps to appear.
Now the challenge:
The logos all are in PNG format, however, there is no transparent background. This only effects players with Facegen characters. The logos always look square with a white background in the square where the logo sets. It would be nice if the background was transparent. The logo would look great on the uniforms and on the hats. However, there is one more step, as some of the logos have to be modified based on the color of the team hats. For instance, the Cardinal logo is hard to see on a red hat. I can get all of the colors that the teams use for their hats (somewhere). Please let me know if you want to do this challenge.
NOTE: In the download, you will see some duplicates, such as:
St._Louis_Cardinals.png
St_Louis_Cardinals.png
Saint_Lous_Cardinals.png
This is intentional just in case anyone changes the St. Louis name to Sant Louis. They are simply clones, so once one is modified they could be copied.
It maybe an even better idea to turn them into circle logos, that way they would show up on any uniform color better. I will let you logo experts decide that.
