20_range's Project For Eugene Church's IPA

[20_range]

Thanks, I really had a great time with these. They were really a puzzle - I would have never done a western themed team or a college themed team on my own. I'll take a look at my list of half-ideas for myself, but I think I'll probably be back in this thread sometime asking for another prompt



Does it read better like this? Or need a different font?

I tried out a different font in the version I will use in my game

I think that improves... it stands out more... thanks for doing it for me.
Really appreciate your help with my IPA revisions and rebrandings.
I am very pleased with your skill and creativity.

Your Upstate looks very good.

Suggestions:
Here is the first one... please make a Primary Logo (circular, square, badge, banner or otherwise)... include town name and nickname on the Primary... just use town letter for the Secondary Logo... also make a Secondary Logo using the mascot image in a simple and uncomplicated style... simple styles show up better at the 50 x 50 pixel size.
I use the black skin... make sure the logo shows up well on a dark black background.
Do one set in a tradition style for me...1950s to 1980s would be my period... do another set using your own thoughts, colors and creativity... it would be good to see what you come up with... EC will use it if it's better.

Hartsdale Hellcats
Colors:
Red (160, 0, 0) is the primary color
Black and White are also used on the primary and secondary logos.

Hartsdale Hellcats

Owner: Pioneer Brewing Company
GM Emeritus: Jud Turchin
GM/Manager: Mark Markis

Hartsdale, with population of about 74,000, is situated on the slopes of the Appian Mountains of Northern Tycobbia. It is a blue-collar, working class town, functional and old-fashioned in architecture. Primary industries are coal and iron ore mining, timber, glassware and beer. The vital Appian River begins in the Appian Mountains near North Hills, travels most of the country from north to south, past Hartsdale to the capital city, La Claire, then finally culminates at Bay St. Clair, a seaport town on the west central coast. The river provides an inexpensive source of transportation and is crucial to Hartsdale’s and Tycobbia’s economies.

Hartsdale is also the home of the Hellcats baseball team of the Islandian Pro Alliance. They are in the Tycobbian Union North Division and play at Pioneer Park. The Pioneer Brewing Company owns the club and is the maker of Tycobbia’s favorite brew, Pioneer Premium Beer. The brewery can be seen just beyond the center and right field fences of Pioneer Park. In fact, the brick walls of the factory form part of the right field bleachers. Company bigwigs can watch the ballgame from their offices.

Hellcats fans take their baseball very seriously and are serious students of the game. It’s baseball, beer and hot dogs in the hearts of the fans -- and the last two are a very distant second. When they go to a game, their eyes stay glued to the action on the field. They are hardcore Hellcats fans, too, and give no breaks or quarter to the opposing team or their fans. Very few visiting fans have the courage to display their loyalties very much in front of the rough and rowdy Hellcats. They get some very hard stares or worse, if they do. The Hartsdalians are tough and demanding on the Hellcats players, too. "We calls them as we sees them". At the traditional seventh-inning stretch each adult is gifted with a small miniature sample of Pioneer Beer and it is used to toast their cherished baseball team as they sing a few bars of “99 bottles of beer on the wall”, followed by “Take me out to the ballgame”. And you can get the best burgers and dogs in Tycobbia, grilled to perfection on the concessions concourse... Beers, burgers and baseball is what you get at Pioneer Park.

The Hellcats are corporately owned. Zim Donner, a 50-year veteran in amateur and professional baseball, was the first Hellcat skipper in the early days of the Islandian Pro Alliance. He was a fine up-and-coming shortstop until he suffered a couple of beanballs that turned him into just a journeyman infielder. But he is one fine manager and baseball teacher. When he was the manager Donner was known to charge the mound occasionally. The fiery Hellcats fans love him. Donner moved upstairs as GM in the late 2020s and made Hall of Fame shortstop Jud Turchin the skipper. He was a seven-time All-Star in addition to being a Gold Glove fielder, who swung a big bat. In his 21 seasons with Hartsdale (2002-2022) Turchin batted .304 with over 300 homers, 1600 RBIs and 1800 runs scored. He played in 2957 games, collected 3360 hits and was inducted into the IPA Hall of Fame in 2036.

The working GM and skipper is Mark Markis. He took over from Turchin in 2062. Markis has a unique background. High School and college ball were his only experience and he was just a mediocre or so-so outfielder at best. He never made it to the Islandian Pro Alliance, but Markis is an analytical genius. Turchin hired him to help him evaluate ballplayers. Markis so impressed Turchin over the years that he was given the reins to the ball club.

There are 64 parks in the Islandian Pro Alliance.
They were beautifully done in 2D 20 years ago by several great stadium builders... chief among them was Teflon Skies... he was a genius... it took him 100 hours to do each of his stadiums... Teflon Skies is not active on the OOTP Forums any longer... his last post was in 2003... Henry also made a lot of fine historical stadiums... Teflon Skies created fictional stadiums... Henry is no longer active in the OOTP Community.

I could post them for you to download... are you sure you want 2D stadiums?... they do not work with the 3D animation.

I no longer use them in my IPA as I use the 3D animation.

EC, is there anything from this list that is similar enough to one of your teams that I could make the same logo for both of you? Or use the same elements?

I was thinking maybe the Eastshore Elegants and London Gentlemen might match up, or if you think of another one.

20_range, just help dinosauryoshi with his league... that would be the easiest thing for you do... if I see that you do a request for someone else that I would like to have, then I will contact you and get you to revise it to fit my league teams..

My IPA is pretty much settled except for a few odds and ends... some of the teams need a simpler and less fancy secondary logo.

Otherwise I sitting on top of the world and riding high in the world of OOTP graphics... I am really pleased with my Islandian Pro Alliance and South Island Supreme League and Secondary League logos.

Thanks a bunch for what you did for me... and thank you for being so helpful to all of the OOTP Community that can't create their own logos.

We are blessed to have you.
