Don't worry, I'm checking them in game.

I haven't added the very latest one you mentioned, but it will be added before I upload it. I can't post a changelog; there's too many changes (approx 700 new team logos).

Hello all, I've been diddley dadling around a little with illustrator lately and came up with a logo set for FHM. I feel a little apprehensive about it so I want to post them and see what you all think...

archibalduk · 07-10-2013, 09:31 AM

They look really neat! I think they'd look particularly good for the historic logos.

I wonder how they look when they're shrunk down on the Standings Screens, etc?

They are 150x150 size so they should look nice in the standings screen. However I'm afraid that once they get shrunken for other parts of the game, they may lose their luster. Essentially what I did with the logos is take the primary logo and then choose the primary and "top" secondary colors and used them to color the logo. In most parts the primary color is the monotoned logo unless a problem exists, then I just flipped the colors. The establishment date is the date when they made the last league or name change...

Stinson · 07-10-2013, 10:06 AM

They're not something I would use (I prefer the raw logos), but these look incredible.

If you're wondering whether you should do more and/or release them, you definitely should. I'm sure plenty of people will use these

By the way, where in Berks County are you from? I'm in Telford (Montgomery County). Globally speaking, we may be relatively close neighbors

geckon · 07-10-2013, 10:17 AM

I agree that the logos look neat.

I'm actually right outside Reading and work at Limerick Nuclear Power Plant...It's a small world, isn't it lol

Gige56 · 07-10-2013, 12:12 PM

So I am going to start releasing the logos I have currently finished. I have about 70% NHL, 70% AHL, 50% ECHL and 15% CHL finished so far. I have been going through wikipedia and just hammering out the NHL team and then each subsequential farm team associated. My question is would it be easier to post them on photobucket (ala my first post) and people can dl them as I continue to update, or should I wait and post dl links for each league upon completion? I could either or and have no preference on which to do as they are both easy to do.

Personally, I would recommend the latter. Logo packs are typically released as sets, league-by-league. Then, once you have all the leagues of a particular country or continent done, you could choose to release "mega packs". For example, a pack for all the North American leagues in the game, European leagues, etc. That is, of course, if you plan to do all those logos! If not, you'll be perfectly fine sticking to per-league releases

I personally think these are awesome and would definitely love if you released as many as you like to the public.

Very nice work

billman29 · 07-16-2013, 08:52 PM

Similiar to OOTP's ballpark imagery during simulation, will it be possible to have custom ice-sheets in the game?

I think it would be fantastic if we could convert the work of a site I do research for into usable graphics for the game. Some example:

Skeptical Hippo · 07-17-2013, 03:34 PM

I'm having problems getting the logos / facepacks (from the Blueline website) to run in the latest version of the game on my Windows 8 machine, am I alone in this?

Austsaint · 07-18-2013, 07:52 AM

I like the idea of the rink, something akin to the show ballpark pictures in the great graphics mod they have for OOTP. With NHL 2014 out soon, perhaps it could be undertaken that way?

Gige56 · 07-19-2013, 08:39 AM

Just a quick question if anyone knows the answer. Are there any other "playable" North American leagues outside of the NHL, AHL, ECHL, SPHL, FHL, CeHL, QMJHL, OHL, and WHL as of right now? My intital goal is to have the playable leagues finished first and then update the "non-playables" at a later date. Thanks

Rob316 · 07-20-2013, 05:50 PM

Does anyone happen to have the new Dallas Logo for the FHM series by chance ?

Yeah, it's in the pack I'm releasing early next week.

archibalduk · 07-24-2013, 01:22 PM

A new logo pack is incoming. It has over 600 new and updated team logos and some new and updated competition logos.

My site is unable to continue hosting graphics but luckily The Breakaway Network is able to host them instead. Either myself or Fireholder will post the download link in here as soon as it is available.

Unfortunately I'm unable to continue maintaining the logo pack. It takes up too much of my time which is time I need to spend working on the database. However, I don't think this is a big problem because the vast majority of the logos collected were collected and prepared by other users and not by me. No doubt some of those users will continue collating them.

Any word when this pack is going to be released and will it be added to the logos you've already collected?

jak · 08-05-2013, 05:46 PM

Hi,
I've been collecting logos for my own use over the past weeks but if somebody else wants to use them I'll upload them somewhere soon.
So far I've got NHL, AHL, CHL, ECHL, KHL, SHL, Allsvenskan, SM-liiga, DEL, DEL2, NLA and Ligue Magnus but I'll add more as time allows.
