Being the picky old codger that I am... Ravens need to be black, don't you think, in general? You would not do a Cardinal logo without a red bird, would you?

Just a thought.

You do marvelous work.... You are definitely one of the TOP 10 GRAPHICS GURUS OF ALLTIME... AND MAYBE IN THE TOP 5!

There's a Dodger blue and a light "snow" blue version. I'm also pretty happy with the monogram I made, the font is called The Black Night. I drew the columbian mammoth based on the many life reconstruction images I searched for.

No pressure at all if you’re not keen but I’d love a Dhaka Mammoths variant of this for my league

The NY is from the New York Mammoths, the fictionalized faux-Yankees team in the novel/De Niro movie Bang the Drum Slowly, which I discovered existed while googling things like 'mammoth baseball'.

this is super neat and love that you conjured the bang the drum slowly here

Eugene- Its the colors of the wooden statue, but I can probably go back to recolor a black raven version. That would make sense as an adaptation of the concept
Dy - ill make it, tomorrow or the next day

Dc- thanks, I actually put the novel on hold from the library too. Hadnt heard of it somehow. My thread/league is never finished but I love when I can do something like multiple era concepts for one of the teams to flesh out a backstory

The novel is the second in a series of 4 novels about Wiggins' career. Just want to make sure you know in case reading the second one first will bother you.


Prior to the movie, there was a live TV adaptation with Paul Newman (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202808/).

small logos, just the 51 star pattern by itself (white one will be impossible to see on this board, but it is there)

Also, Ive decided they're nicknamed the Belters, like the Bronx Bombers, of the Beltway, and am sketching out a Frank Howard update for them

[20_range]

Idea originally by thebananabandit, in an ancient thread on this forum. He posted this in 2017, which is when I started playing ootp. I've used it forever, and this is my second or third update. This time I've made my own SD monogram, as well as copying his shooting star so that I could recolor it.

to be updated

[20_range]

I have easily done enough extinct animals for an entire extinct animal league. I have multiple options of this one, the tragic great auk.


I learned about the phrase "now the once" from a novel I just read about Newfoundland, Galore by Michael Crummey

[20_range]

plus the mountain goats song about the dodo, thylacine, etc


my drawing is based on the drawing by Danish scientist Ole Worm


also really impressed by this painting by Errol Fuller & I want to get his books

[20_range]

Originally gave it a bat but it was too awful, they were clubbed to death


goodnight

[darkcloud4579]

Wow

[20_range]

StJ's monogram, and a version with no city, just for completeness.

Yup. I typed up caveats somewhere in this thread or the other one though I do them if I think its cool or if it gives me a good idea

I decided to make it a giant multiple era project that is way out of control! So anyway, here is my guide to requests from 20_range:


1. I am eager to do requests
2. No racist imagery
3. No militarism *military history, yes
4. No patriotism *historical movements, yes

5. No dogs. I don't like them

6. It might get weird

7. All logos are created while a one year old child is asleep


Here are some samples from the Garibaldi BC/ Red Shirts/ G's project I intend to present a full 1865-present history for the team (also a tm1681/lbl_brendan/txranger fanart project)

Boston Minutemen
Oakland Uprising (Black Panther inspired so not sure if it's OK)
Trenton Hessians
Honolulu Nākoa (Warriors in Hawaiian)
Richmond Greys (CSA militia unit)

Just some name ideas!

I wonder if you could make that into a Flagstaff Nebulons logo with Pluto and Lowell Observatory at the bottom?

[20_range]

Here is a quick drawing of the observatory, with and without the snake (didn't specify). I used the Pluto astronomical symbol as the hat logo...

[20_range]

And decided to just make a whole team out of the symbol, so here are the Flagstaff Plutos, I will put this team in my game. Colors are from the page image true-color photo of Pluto. I feel like this came out well, especially the single-color one (the color codes in the file will create a dark background in the game). I should try to do more of those
