Graphics Collection from CD's Ultra-Fine House of Style

[Eugene Church]

Sounds like you had a great day with your dad... got lots of gifts, too.

I'm glad you got out and about today.

Happy Birthday!

50 is really nifty!

[Eugene Church]

Agree with you, the image of the rising sun with the mountaintop is really good.

You should think about making the Tokyo Capitals' colors Red and White... IMO the Red clashes with the Purple and Green... it's hard to make a good logo using those colors together.

[Eugene Church]

Do you really want me to do another Purple/Green/Red version?... with the name corrected to Capitals.

I can do it... I don't mind... but if you don't really like it, why take the time to do it?

Will you use it in one of your leagues?

[Eugene Church]

CD, the Japanese fonts did not work... the letters would spike and look badly when I used them in justafan.

I know about the free fonts at the website you posted... you don't have to keep telling me about them.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

When I did the items in question, I didn't use red, it seems. I used purple and green and white. How about having the bottom third mostly being in green, to represent the land or plants, the middle third mainly featuring the mountain being featured mostly in purple, and the top third mostly featuring a rising sun in red on a mostly white background, perhaps? That's if you'd do a squarish version of it with the proper naming and all, you see. Just a thought here, that's all.

As for the bit about the fonts-related site, I wasn't sure if I'd told you about them before at the time, it seems to me. Hence why I mentioned it earlier, EC.

Of course, I'd definitely at least try to use whatever people made for me, and have previously done so, for sure, as often as possible, you know. I'm quite sure that I've most likely used your items before at certain times, to be honest. Whether uniforms, caps, and/or logos, for that matter. And I gladly will do so again as the need or desire arises, for sure, EC.

I'm really glad I was somehow able to get out and about today for the first time in a good while when I didn't actually have to go out for other reasons whatsoever. I don't often actually get the chance to do so quite as much as I might like, you see. Simply because I'm quite unable to drive for various reasons now in my life, EC. At least at this time in it, anyway, I'm unable to do so at all. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, I don't have the skill to alter the rising sun and mountain image.
I have to use it the way it is... I can't change the colors or edit it.

All I can do is use it like I did... I will change the name to Capitals.

That's all I can do.

I will do the revised version tomorrow or Monday.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, thank you. Take whatever time you think you need to do them. NO need to hurry, of course. Really appreciate your efforts to try and help me out here, in any case, just so you know, EC. Enjoy yourself, I hope, in the meantime. Don't think it actually will be fifty more years from now, though, before we're both in the Millennial Kingdom, Lord willing and all, to be honest. As long as we're here, let's both do what we can to carry out the missions our Maker has given us to do in our respective lives as best as we can, no matter what those missions of ours may be in them both.

I am quite hopeful that we'll both somehow be meeting each other within the next fifty years, if not even sooner than that, EC. Maybe even within the next 15 or 20 years, at that. I highly suspect that we'll both actually celebrate our respective 100th birthdays in the Millennial Kingdom, somehow. Though not at the exact same times, obviously, you know. CD out.

I think I actually do have a Tokyo Capitals team either in my Japanese Baseball League or in my Chrysanthemum Throne Baseball League, to go along with certain other teams I just posted certain graphics for, EC. And I believe if that's so here, they're then in at least an OOTP 20 or 21 dynasty of mine, if not at least an 18 and/or 19-version dynasty. Of course, some of the usual names, at least, are currently present, or are/were planned to be present eventually, in the relevant league or leagues in my dynasties from various versions of OOTP.

I've only been able to create one OOTP 22 dynasty so far, for obvious reasons, but I still do plan to create at least one or two more dynasties, whether imported or new, for various purposes. As for certain currently-unmentionable Japanese real-world leagues, I'll have to obviously change certain league and/or team names, once they'd then be imported into 23, if I'd choose to move them each forwards into OOTP 23, at some later point, if not before importing into it.

Tehsuigi and 39_Ringo and others are doing really fine work with their numerous AU (alternate universe) or AH (alternate history) versions of Japanese baseball teams and/or leagues, in my view, at present. And I'll probably use at least a few of their items if and when I bring certain dynasties and/or teams into 23 or later versions of OOTP, if not many of them. A lot of what they've already posted on the graphics and/or dynasty forums is most likely a whole lot better than most of my like items to date on these forums, I think, at least on average. If not all of them, actually. At least, that's my current opinion here, you see, EC. Just so you know. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, let's get back to me posting some new graphics, this time for the Houston Astros, if we may, folks. I posted a take on some uniforms for them in post 886 of this very thread, it seems. And now here are the hopefully-matching caps for them that I've just made up here earlier today. Either before I went out or after I did, most likely after I returned from my excursion with my father this afternoon or so.

I used three fonts, all told, on these items. The home items are done using the Final Frontier font, the away items the Star Next font, and the alternates the Starfleet BXEX BT font, just so you know. The currently-relevant non-white and non-black color-related information for all the necessary items is shown below:

2c7aa1 Cerulean (44, 122, 161)
7d9cc0 Vista Blue (125, 156, 192)
ff8200 UT Orange (255, 130, 0)

I don't have any matching logos for them at the present time, in truth. But I'm sure someone can make a much better overall set of related logos for them than I can at present, if I don't use certain other logos for the Astros or similarly-named teams for them instead, of course. Maybe something similar to the cap and/or uniform logo that the real-world Astros used when they were using their multicolored uniforms and all in the 1980's, at least, might work best? Just a thought or two here, that's all. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Nice colors on the Houston caps, CD.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, here are the hopefully-matching just-made caps for the St. Louis Sentinels to go with the uniforms that I made for them more than two years ago and shared in post 421 of this thread. While I don't have any sufficiently good logos to go with either the relevant uniforms or these brand-new caps yet, mind you, I still hope that these caps all still match with the aforementioned uniforms sufficiently well, of course.

The current font in question that has been used on all the relevant items for the Sentinels is OldNewspaperTypes. While the non-white color-related information is as follows, for this team's items:

6cace4 RuddyBlue (108, 172, 228)
003087 Resolution Blue (0, 48, 135)
fed800 Schoolbus Yellow (254, 219, 0)
c8102e Red (NCS) (200, 16, 46)
e3a34 Persian Red (190, 58, 52)
862633 Claret (134, 38, 51)

I will most likely be doing many more items in this thread eventually, as time and all might then allow me to, Lord willing and all, of course. Whether or not I add more work for this team, for sure. But for now, at least, I've probably done that I can currently do well enough for the Sentinels, at least until I can find at least one good enough non-generic logo for them, or someone else makes at least one for me here, folks. That is all. CD out.

CD - I tried to combine EC's idea with your thoughts above (although using a different image).


It's still basically a square, but I left the spaces between the rays of the sun transparent.


I think EC is right about the red not really fitting in with the purple and green, but I don't think it looks too bad either.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Very, very, very, very nice, poiuy! Many thanks! Keep up the great work! CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Very nice job, poiuy... you really did it well... I was hoping some of the talented guys would jump in and do CD a good logo on his 50th birthday... and you did... and made it special for him... I prayed that a good graphics guy would do it... and you did.

Yep, you did a a darn good job.

P.S... thank you for doing such a good job... actually it was exactly what CD wanted... now I won't have to rework my version... there is no way I can compete with yours.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

God is infinitely amazing, when we actually let Him provide the appropriate helpers as then needed and all, instead of us just trying to do everything by ourselves, don't you think, EC? I sure do, you know. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Next up will probably be several caps for my take or takes on the St. Peter Saints in at least one post, if not more than one, here in this thread. Just so you know, folks. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's the first batch of hopefully-matching caps to many of my St. Peter Saints-related uniforms seen in posts 3021 to 3024 of this thread. I won't likely be able to show them all in the same post, seeing as there are likely at least nine caps made so far, if not more. But I can tell you the following details, at least. These items, or at least the uniforms made that these caps will hopefully match well enough with here, are most likely using one of four different fonts, if not a logo instead or as well, on them.

Those fonts that have been used on any or all sufficiently-relevant items are Machiarge, Engagement, Honeymoon, and College Block 2.0, just so you know, folks. As far as the current non-white color-related information, it is below, for your information:

1e0073 Navy Blue (30, 0, 115)
9a393b Auburn (154, 57, 59)
204393 Marian Blue (32, 67, 147)
f8402f Cinnabar (248, 64, 47)
3a3b46 Onyx (58, 59, 70)
2c79be UCLA Blue (44, 121, 190)

I will try to post them in equally-sized posts here, for convenience's sake, at least, folks. I hope you enjoy these items, and will use them periodically, if you actually do have at least one such team in your various leagues and/or dynasties, of course. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Next batch of caps. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Last batch of current caps for the St. Peter Saints in my style. That is all. CD out.

I think yellow or orange for the sun rays would look much better than red. The red clashes.
