First Attempts

cavebutter · 04-15-2007, 11:07 PM

I spent a couple hours learning how to do this. These are my first attempts, so please be kind. Still haven't figured out how to do circle logo's- they're next on my list.

The Newport nova image comes from Cephus. Thanks!

I did the Portland one first-- think I'm improving a bit.

Very well done!

nicely done cavebutter. what program are you using?

cavebutter · 04-16-2007, 12:58 AM

Thank you both. I used a combination of Paint and GIMP for Portland, and just GIMP for Newport.

Working on a Tokeland Reefers logo now, but probably won't post it. Not family friendly. I will say though, that Tokeland is a real city in WA (perfect for the Coastal Division of my Pacific League) and Reefers don't have to have a drug connotation.

Well done my friend. Keep it up.

Looks VERY good, especially for a 1st effort. Keep on going, looks like you have some serious potential. Maybe try skewing or warping the jersey text just a little, so it's not perfectly straight.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll be trying it for my next one.
