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

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Deal or No Deal will not be one of the first six shows with representative teams to play, but we can certainly have it represented as a future show to include a representative for in the proposed league. Sale of the Century will likely have a representative in the proposed league as well, if we can make up items for them to use, but if we can't make them up, we'll need other potential options to consider using in the league. Any reasonably good suggestions, folks?

I don't think I'll be including them in my GBA dynasty until at least the middle 1950's, if even then, but we'll have to see. They'll more likely have to wait until at least the 1970's, I think, in truth.

As for other things related sufficiently to this thread, I'm still waiting on kq76's thoughts related to the items for the Vice City Electrics that I've made so far, the still-needed logos for the teams that don't yet have them in this proposed Arizona-based league for koohead I've been working on, BNN's thoughts about the caps I just made for his Nassau team, and still waiting to see if anyone else will make some more requests for some caps and/or uniforms from me for various teams. I hope to see some more posts from others here, so I can then continue doing what I can here to help others as best as I can, in any case, for sure.

Thank you for your time and attention and all, everyone. BNN, you also said you were thinking of doing some Jeopardy!-related items as well, if memory serves me correctly. If so, I hope to see them soon, for sure, of course.

Time for me to get back to work on various things now, it seems, whether graphics-related or not. I'm going to also try to do a little bit of writing today, at least, if I can, somehow. Here's hoping I can get at least a few pages of writing done before I go to bed again, somehow, Lord willing, then. Or at least a bit more writing done for my GBA thread, perhaps, that is, if possible and all. CD out.

Hey CD, love the new items for the Chillers! I have renamed the team and gotten rid of the previous jerseys.

For the Deal or No Deal team, I finally have some graphics. It's not much so far, with only a home and away jersey and home and away cap with a rectangle logo, but this is what I have thus far. Let me know your thoughts!

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

EC, move the Giant slightly to its left on the uniform shoulders, so that it is more centered on them and make it a bit smaller, for both Joliet uniforms. Also on the green uniform, if you change the color of the yellow shoulders or change the shoulder stripe's color, the thick shoulder stripe would probably be seen much clearer on it, if I'm not too mistaken here. Just a few suggestions that might help the aforementioned uniforms look better, I think. Hope this advice helps. Thank you for your time and attention and all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Eliminate the logo currently on the back of both proposed uniforms. Trim logo on both caps to just the area within the grayish/black/yellowish border for the logo, if possible. Center logo on both caps as best as possible. Most of gray cap should be recolored to a yellowish-orange or a brownish color, perhaps, so that the logo shows up better against it. Pick one of the lights above DEAL to get the color from for the recoloring of the gray cap, and it doesn't really matter which one you might pick to do so with. Use eyelets, and when you do, use a different color for them than you use as a main color for each of them. On yellow cap, change the bill color as well, please, for contrast's sake.

For text on both uniforms, please try to match as closely as you can with a free font the font used for DEAL OR NO DEAL in the logo seen above. One line of text should say DEAL OR, and the second should say NO DEAL, on both uniforms, in readable and contrasting text to each uniform's main color, with or without outline colors perhaps being used in the process of including text on the uniforms in question. A gray uniform might work well here, IF done sufficiently well, I think.

Do not use any buttons or the WBC side panels, but using of the placket features, both for shoulders and/or the Miscellaneous section, might work well, if done sufficiently well as possible and all. If you use a V-neck, make sure they are listed below Miscellaneous if you use the Miscellaneous section to make the jerseys. Also, use a different color than black to set off the shoulders from the main part or parts of the jersey if you decide to use the placket option on the shoulders and choose to use black on the shoulders.

Of course, if you could somehow isolate the lights and all, and sublimate them as a layer in much the same way many real-world teams might with certain patterns and all, perhaps we could have them present on the uniforms and/or caps in such a manner, I think, as well. What do you think? And do you think you could do this sort of thing, or do you know someone who might be able to do so well enough, somehow? Just wondering, that's all.

Other than that, I think your currently-suggested ideas for the proposed Deal or No Deal-inspired team look fairly well-put together, in truth. Thank you for showing me what you have so far for a proposed Deal or No Deal-inspired team here.

If we don't have a team inspired by Sale of the Century in the proposed league, eventually, though, we'll need to have another team in the league, in due time, to fill the spot they likely would have occupied here, of course. Any suggestions, perhaps, BNN?

Thank you for your time and all, for sure, then. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Also, make a version of the primary logo for the proposed team representing Deal or No Deal 300x300, and a version of the secondary logo 150x150, come to think of it. Keep a version of the original logo at the original size, for sure, at least for safe-keeping too, just in case something happens, and you accidentally lose the resized versions of the logo in question somehow. Just a bit of friendly advice here, that's all. Thank you. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

EC, exactly what color codes and specific font or fonts did you use for Union Heights and the Hackers-related items, as far as you can recall or find out? Just curious, that's all. I think I can improve them, if I have the necessary information, somehow, as time permits and all. Please feel free to let me/us know, if and when you like and all, okay? CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Maybe I can even try to improve the Green Giants-related items, if you don't based on my suggestions, come to think of it, and if I have the necessary logo or logos available to me, EC. Please let me know if you decide to try to improve them yourself, or whether you'll want others to try their hands at doing so, okay? CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, I just posted the North Island and South Island teams for jg2977, who plans to use them in his league.

You can use them if you like... but don't improve them for me... I no longer use all of the teams in my leagues.

I don't have the color codes... sorry... just eyeball them and come as close as you can... or just create your own colors.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

You're still going to use Joliet in your leagues, though, I believe, and some of the other teams you're posting images for in the other thread, aren't you? CD out.

Yes, I am still using some of the teams that jg2977 requested for his league.

You can work on the Joliet Green Giants if you want... if you do it for me, you must use my colors and my style of jerseys and caps... otherwise you will just be wasting your time... sorry, I will not use your style of jerseys and caps... just not my taste... sorry for being so hard to please.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

If I did it for Hillsboro, I can certainly do it for Joliet, Eugene. Just give me the needed details, at least for colors, and I'll see if I can't improve what you currently have. Also if you could show the giant in logo form, I might be able to make some suitably good caps and/or uniforms for you and others to use as well. CD out.

CD, Hillsboro was a special case... you did it with my specific instructions... my style jerseys and caps and my colors... and you did about 15 different versions before I used it... it just takes too long and too much of your time to deal with me.. I would much prefer you help others here in this thread.

I appreciate your offers to help very, very much... but I am too hard for you to please.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

No, not so, Eugene. True, I may be rather picky about various things, but I am not unwilling to try and help others when I can, I hope, according to the Lord's will and all. So maybe I can help you and/or others out here somehow with various teams while waiting for others to get back to me about work I've already done for them or trying to figure out how to proceed on other projects of mine, et cetera.

After all, our Master came to serve and not to be served, you know. So why should I try not to do the same for many people as best as I can, as He leads and all? Besides, the Word says that it is better to give than to receive, does it not? CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Also, I think I'm starting to get the hang better of Jersey Creator and Ballcap Creator, although Pickoff may not be so easy to get the hang of like the other two programs I've been doing a lot of work with. As far as other layers or textures besides the standard ones, I've not had much, if any, real success in finding ones that are fairly close to what I may have in mind for various teams and/or leagues yet, unfortunately. Whether that will always remain the case, of course, is yet to be seen, for sure.

As far as national flags for a number of my fictional nations, there are still a number of them which still need to be made, most likely, either for use with OOTP/FHM or for fictional nations on https://www.nationstates.net/, in truth. Most of the nations I have created on that site, however, are currently inactive, for various reasons, but I do have at least one active at the present time, in any case.

Thank you for your time and all, as always, EC. Talk more later, if and when I can, I'm sure, Lord willing. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

You might want to move the Giant on the uniform shoulders slightly to its left for both Joliet uniforms, and make its size slightly smaller, too, I think. It's not quite centered properly, and there's apparently not enough space available for it to its right or top, either, at the present time, EC.

Just thought you should know, that's all. CD out.

CD, in my opinion, they look fine in the game.

[Eugene Church]

If you would like, go ahead and create a Joliet Green Giants home and away jersey and a cap.... if it is better than mine, of course, I will be happy to use yours.

Just create it in a similar fashion that I did... use my colors... please use the texture I used on the jerseys and and the cap...use shading 1... make sure the contrast is good between the lettering and the jersey... most of all I want it to show up well on the game screens.

Just do one home jersey and one away jersey... one cap is fine, too... please don't make a lot of alternates... keep it simple... and don't work too hard on this.

Color Codes:

Green: (81, 124, 33)

Yellow: (255, 255, 0)

[Eugene Church]

Here is the Green Giant Image... it is transparent.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, suit yourself. However, to me, it currently looks like the head of the giant is almost touching, if not actually touching, the main color of the uniforms as you have it now on the left shoulders of them. I don't think that's what you'd normally like to see be the case whenever you have shoulder patches on a uniform's shoulder, to be honest. Isn't that true, generally speaking?

Talk more with you later, I hope, of course, Lord willing. And I hope you have a good night, if we don't hear any more from each other today, in truth. I'm planning to do some writing and language-learning work, at least, if I can, before I go to bed tonight, actually.

I've been working on trying to learn Spanish, French, Hebrew, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Latin, and Scottish Gaelic, actually, in hopes that I might be able to eventually further flesh out a fictional language I've been trying to develop off and on for about thirty years whenever and however possible. But I've probably lost access to at least some of the materials I've tried to produce off and on over that time, whether in paper form or in electronic form, unfortunately, if I'm not too mistaken here. Fortunately, I've not lost all my language or nations-related material produced in that time either in paper form or in electronic form. Which means that maybe I'll eventually be able to work on those kinds of things later, somehow, if at all possible and all, of course, Lord willing.

Japanese and Hebrew are a bit more difficult to learn, to be sure, for those who are used to left-to-right word orders in written form more than the opposite direction of sentence ordering and all. Hebrew, I'm sure you can guess why I want to learn as much of it as I can, along with Greek and Latin, somehow, though. At least one reason, anyway, that is.

As for Japanese, I've followed a number of anime and manga series, along with a few live-action shows, and consequently gained at least a bit of interest in the language as well. I still am far from understanding a lot of things when it comes to the Japanese language, for instance. But I do still hope to eventually be able to actually include Japanese-style touches to a number of my graphics-related items in the future, somehow, if I can. It may not be easy, mind you, but I'm often the kind of guy who relishes a challenge in my life, even potentially difficult ones, in fact.

Well, I suppose I'd best get back to work on whatever I was working on earlier, if at all possible, as soon as possible, before bed, then. Talk to you soon, I hope. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Will see about posting remade Joliet Green Giants items sometime on Wednesday, at the latest. Uniforms already done, and will most likely make only one cap, as well. Please stay tuned. Thank you. CD out.
