First Logo Request

clett · 06-26-2003, 05:08 PM

Hey guys,

I've seen thousands of logos come in and out of here and am always astounded by the quality and the effort it must take to produce them in one's spare time. Three years ago I would have argued that no community would ever surpass High Heat's in terms of comradery and helpfulness. The OOTP community has since become the premier sports gaming community, in my opinion.

Anyway, on to my request. I would like to have the following design turned into a logo for the Lake Havasu Hellions. I don't know if it would even be possible, but the same font and layout would be great. Lake Havasu above the head and Hellions below would be ideal, but whatever can be done would be appreciated.

If this is not possible to do, I completely understand and I thank you guys for your hard work.

Not being pushy. Just don't want this to get buried.

dbacks · 06-28-2003, 06:07 PM

clett, just bumping this back up to the top to let you know that as soon as I get the chance, I will at least try to get you something today or tomorrow.

clett · 06-28-2003, 06:41 PM

Very cool of you dbacks, I appreciate that.

dbacks · 06-28-2003, 09:26 PM

Okay, I didn't do exactly what you said, so let me know if you want something different. Don't be afraid to make suggestions if you have any.

clett · 06-29-2003, 01:05 AM

Thanks a lot dbacks! I appreciate it very much. I like the font you used. Fits the team.

I feel like an ass for making any suggestions, considering you're doing me a favor. However, if it's not too much trouble, would it be possible to enlarge the actual skull itself? If the city could be arched around the skull, that would be cool, too.

I'm perfectly happy using it as is, so if you don't feel like messing with it, don't worry about it.

Thanks Again.

dbacks · 06-29-2003, 01:07 AM

lol, the first version I made was with a bigger skull with the text semi-arched around it!

Unfortunately, I got rid of it, but it's absolutely NO PROBLEM getting it back, and I can do that in just a few minutes.

dbacks · 06-29-2003, 01:16 AM

Okay, will this work for you?

clett · 06-29-2003, 01:20 AM

That'll work beautifully, dbacks. Many thanks.

Wanna take on another one for me? It's another mod of an existing logo. Don't know if you'd prefer original logos or not.

dbacks · 06-29-2003, 01:23 AM

Yeah, sure. Definitely. Like I said though, when I can get the time. I've got quite a few I'm working on right now, but if you don't mind waiting a day or so, I don't mind doing another for you. What did you have in mind?

clett · 06-29-2003, 01:52 AM

Of course I don't mind waiting. I think I may be asking for a bit much here, though.

Okay, the team name is the "Desert Diablos." What I envision is this image with the "O" resized to the size of the other letters and the added "S" being the size of the current "O." The city name would then fit above "Diablos" between the "D" and "S." I would think just an ordinary font would work for "desert" in fire orange or white.

If I'm dreaming here, just tell me.

I also am in search of a logo for a team named the "Paradise Valley Hellcats." Don't have much of an idea for this one. An evil cat with red eyes and blood dripping from his teeth is the best I can come up with.

If you're wondering why the evil theme here, these are the minor league affilliates for my online fictional "Las Vegas Demons" of the CLB. You can check it out here.

I wouldn't say you're dreaming - but it may be slightly different than you ask for. Just slightly, though. For example, I might have to do the fiery text differently to get the S in there at the end. I'll make it look as good as I can, but it might be a little bit different.

Same as above - I'll spend an extra amount of time to make a logo to your request, but may be just a bit different than you asked for. Just thought you should know.

Anything you can do is 1,000% better than I could, so you'll hear no complaints from me. Once again, muchas gracias.

dbacks · 06-30-2003, 07:55 PM

Chris,

I would like to apologize. I am not going to be able to help you out for a while. I'm leaving for a baseball tournament in San Diego tomorrow noon, and it's already 5 pm today. I've been working on it, but nothing I do seems to come out right. That's just the Diablos. I'm also having trouble with the hellcats. I'm not by any means giving up yet, but maybe someone else can give these a shot as well. I'll be there for about a week, but when I get back, I may have more time to spend working on these. Once again, I'm sorry I won't be able to do anything for at least a week. I'll keep working tonight, and I'll do my best, but I doubt I'll have anything finished in time. Sorry.

clett · 06-30-2003, 08:14 PM

No apologies necessary. In fact, I feel a little guilty that you're even apologizing to me when you're doing me a favor. Don't sweat it. I apprecite your help and will gladly wait until you put something together you're happy with. Have fun at the tourny!
