Yeah they are, hehe. When do you have time to fix that?

Sadly I can't upload the pack again because I have not enough space on mediafire to do so, but I can link you to a program that can convert all the pictures you have to .png's. I'll do that tomorrow.

First, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all the work you are doing. This game is a much better experience with your work. Thanks for your amazing work.

I just used BulkImageConverter to switch to PNG format. Took less than 5 minutes for all the files.

Great job, Weissy - is there any chance you could create the league logos as well ??

Especially that damn Swedish league logo drives me crazy ... black fonts on black background, no easy to see

[buschk]

Might be a dumb question, but after I download the logo packs how do I actually get them in the game?

Installation Instructions

1. Assuming you selected the default installation option when installing FHM, go to the following folder: <<My Documents>>\Out of the Park Developments\Franchise Hockey Manager 2014\data\quickstart_games\Majors.quick\graphics\
2. Optional: Delete the logo_leagues and logo_teams folders.
3. Extract the ZIP file to the abovementioned folder. Ensure that you enable the “Use Folder Names” option in WinZip before extracting.
4. If the files have been extracted correctly, two sub-folders will have been created with the logos in (logo_leagues and logo_teams).

Note that this will only add the logos for newly created saved games. If you want to add the logos to existing saved games, you must also follow the instructions below for each saved game you want to update:

1. Assuming you selected the default installation option when installing FHM, go to the following folder: <<My Documents>>\Out of the Park Developments\Franchise Hockey Manager 2014\data\saved_games\<<Saved game name>>.lg\graphics\
2. Follow steps 2 – 4 above.

Stupid me !!

I really thought you "only" created the logos for the teams and none for the league ...

I just unpacked it an put it into my folder and found out that you also did a league logo !

My mistake - and thanks for that great work !

I think it's 150px on the longer side for logos and 150px height for player pics but I'm not sure and don't have the game here right now. You should rather download some pack and look yourself.

Just looking at the generic images provided in the game, the Logos are 150 pixels Wide x 150 pixels High. Player pics are 174 pixels Wide x 150 pixels High. They look best if you have a program such as Photoshop to make the backgrounds transparent. This allows the player pics when viewed in the Roster windows to overlap the team logos slightly and not totally obscure them. If you don't add a transparent background they will still look good.
