PING: No Pepper - Graphics Request From Eugene Church

[Eugene Church]

Thank you for doing this Islandian Pro Alliance graphics updating and rebranding for me... I very much appreciate your talent and your help... hope it's OK to give some detailed requests and instructions.

Need Primary Logo, Secondary Logo, Home and Away Jerseys, Home and Away Caps... please make the logos simple and not too fancy and complicated... in my opinion simple ones show up better in the game... especially the secondary logos at the 50 x 50 size.

Try to use Town Name and Team Nickname on the Primary Logo, if possible... just use the Team Letter or Team Mascot Image for the Secondary Logo... IMO the Primary Logo usually does not show up well at the 50 x 50 size... a simple design looks better... logos can be circular, square or whatever you decide to do.

I use the black skin for my leagues... keep that in mind when you create the logos... the logos will show up better on the black background if they have a border color that contrasts well with the black background... notice the primary logo and secondary logo I posted in the screenshot... they have a white border... it shows up very well on the black background.

Team Town Name: CLAXTON
Nickname: Diamonds
Team Colors: Blue (65, 113, 224)... Green (54, 157, 41)... Gray (176,176,176) for the Away Jersey... prefer the Away Jersey not to be medium or dark gray so the contrast for between the Jersey and Lettering is good.
(Use my colors on one set... if you want to do your own thing with colors, that is fine, but not necessary for me... make a White Home Jersey and a Gray Away Jersey for me... an alternate Colored Home and alternate Colored Away Jersey would be fine, but it is not necessary... this is on all 10 teams.)

Use Team Nickname on Home Jerseys... use Town Name on Away
Jerseys.

1950 to 1990 Styles would be fine... the important thing is that they show up well in the game with good contrast and good clarity.

I will post all the requests here in this thread as per cephasjames' suggestion .. a total of 10 teams overall... do them at your convenience... there is no rush whatsoever.

Thanks again for doing this for me... hope I have not made it too complicated... hope the instructions are easy to understand.

Post your questions here in this thread.

EC, you may have struck a deal with NP that this is how you're going to handle your requests, if so that's cool, but my two cents would be that if all of your requests are falling under the same general topic, like "Islandian Pro Alliance graphics updating and rebranding," then I would put them all in one thread. One, it's easier to figure out what needs to be done because it's all in one place, and two, it doesn't clutter up the boards with 10 different threads about basically the same thing. YMMV.

Good advice, cephasjames... I will tell No Pepper I will post all the teams here for him in this thread.

No Pepper, do you want me to post each team one at a time?... when you do it, then I will post the next team to do... or would you prefer all 10 teams at one time?... it's whatever you want, I can do it either way.

I look forward to seeing No Pepper's work, and updating my own IPA! This is great news!

[No Pepper]

EC, it might be productive if you post all 10, or, simply to not wait for me and proceed with each request when it fits your time and effort. I'll catch up.

For Claxton, please correct me if I'm wrong, but the main reason for a "rebrand" is that the current chest "C" is not the city/team name.

For logos, I prefer this to that but will choose the latter to fit in city and team name as you prefer. For Claxton, are you not sold on the current diamond logo's style?

No Pepper, my reason for reworking or rebranding the teams is simply to get a fresh, new look for the league and the teams... I am very pleased with the original Claxton Diamonds set... logos, jerseys and caps... just want to change their look with a new approach... I did not put DIAMONDS on the Primary Logo because I wanted the "diamond on a diamond image" to be larger and to stand out... putting DIAMONDS on it would have cut done on the size for the "diamond on diamond image".

I would like CLAXTON on the Away Jersey and any Away alternate Jersey, should you do alternates... I would like DIAMONDS on the Home Jersey and any alternate Home Jerseys you do... I used the C Letter on both home and away because it looked better than DIAMONDS and CLAXTON that I originally created.... they looked too small on the first ones I did... I have trouble getting some lettering to show up large enough on my graphics work.

Please do them in the way you feel motivated or inspired to do them... my preference is to have the team name and team nickname on the Primary Logo and just the Team Letter or Mascot Image on the Secondary Logo... however, I will be happy with whatever you would like to create... feel free to make changes if you think your ideas and designs look better.

I can post the teams here in this thread one at a time or post all of them at one time... I will do whatever you prefer.

[No Pepper]

Post the teams here one at a time, but do not wait for a reply from me in between. Can't wait to see the lineup!

[Eugene Church]

Nothing wrong with these... just need to refresh and update.
On all teams feel free to play with trim colors to make the lettering show up well on the caps and jerseys... white trim on lettering would OK if needed to make the contrast between jersey color and lettering better... and between the cap color and the lettering... when you use Gray for the Away Jersey, use light to medium Gray uniform, not dark Gray uniform... Gray (176,176,176) should be fine.

Fonts can be Block Letters or Script... whatever you decide is fine.

MARSTON NINE
Colors: Black (0, 0, 0) and Red (255, 0, 0)

[Eugene Church]

Valmara Vipers
Colors: Navy Blue (0, 0, 104) and Green (34, 147, 110)

[Eugene Church]

Colchester Elites
Colors: Red (181,0,0) and Bright Gold (250,205,77)... Gray (176,176,176) in the Away Gray Jersey would be better for contrast with the lettering.

Prefer COLCHESTER on Away Gray instead of C
This gray Away Jersey is a little too dark IMO... lighter gray would show up the team lettering better.
The white on the Home Jersey could be a brighter white IMO.

[Eugene Church]

ROCKY RAPIDS SNAPPERS
Colors: Green (0,132,0) and Navy Blue (0,0,128)

Prefer RR Letters on Caps... not mascot image.
Away Jersey could be Green instead of Gray... or you could do both of them if you like.

[Eugene Church]

Ozarka Naturals
Colors: Dark Blue (0,62,122)... Medium Blue (21,163,237)... Light Blue (106,207,240)
Use Dark Blue for the Home Jersey... Use Light Blue for the Away Jersey.

Use NATURALS on the Home Jersey if you can... I used NATS so the lettering would be bigger and easier to see... when I used NATURALS... the lettering was too small and did not look good.

[Eugene Church]

Stoner Silver Sox
Colors: Silver (192,192,192)... Black (0,0,0)... Red (213,0,0)
I wish the SILVER SOX showed up better on the Home Jersey... STONER really looks good on the Black Away Jersey... maybe the Home Jersey should be Black, too... do what you thinks looks best on the Home Jersey... use White if you like.

[Eugene Church]

HIGH MESA BUCKAROOs (new team nickname and new team colors)... cowboy on a bronc would be a good image for the Primary and Secondary Logos... Wyoming Cowboys has a good mascot image and a good logo image.
Colors: Light Brown (171,111, 86)... Gold (255,196,37)

I posted the old team graphics set just so you would see the various styles I chose for the Islandian Pro Alliance... design something new for the new Buckaroos nickname.

I posted the Wyoming Logo and Mascot Image to give you some idea for the Primary and Secondary Logos... the brown color in the main logo is fine... but the dark brown on the bucking horse is too dark... please make it lighter, using the Light Brown (171,111,86).

You can use your own ideas to design the logos if you like.

[Eugene Church]

FAIRFAX FROGS
Colors: Green (0,176,80)... Blue (0,112,192)... Light Blue (on Away Jersey) (196,239,255)... the Bright Green (0,255,0) was used for the letters on the cap... for the cap bills... and for the lettering on the Home Jersey and the Away Jersey

It is OK for you to create your own versions if you like... you do not have to stay with my concepts.

[Eugene Church]

FORT BENTON DEFENDERS

Colors: Red (157,0,0)... Black (0,0,0)... and White (255,255,255)

I never had an Away Jersey that looked good... I just use the Home White for both Home and Away... create your own version of the Fort Benton Defenders... primary logo, secondary logo, white home jersey and gray away jersey... do alternate versions if you would like.

[Eugene Church]

No Pepper... thanks again for doing these for me.

Work at your own pace and at your convenience... take a month or two to do them if you need... there is no rush... I have good graphics already... just want to some updates by one of the best designers on the OOTP Mods Forum... you do excellent work... I am very lucky to have you do this for me.

[No Pepper]

Here's a shot at High Mesa.

[No Pepper]

Fairfax Frogs...

[jg2977]

Why the change from Mustangs to Buckaroos for High Mesa? Not critcizing, just inquiring. I thought that High Mesa Mustangs was a good name. But I love the new Buckaroos logo and potential uniform designs.
