Old time logo requests

MannyTrillo · 10-21-2003, 03:14 AM

I've gotten some great stuff from here before, here's hoping I can get a few more. These are for a fictional league starting in 1900, so the logos should have an old time, classic kind of look. Here's a great example of the kind of thing I'm hoping for that dbacks made a while ago:

The teams I'd especially like to get logos for are:

Philadelphia Stars
Cleveland Blackbirds
St. Louis Yeomen

Here are some other ones that I have usable logos for, but if anyone's feeling inspired it would be great to have something better than what I've got:

Boston Bonnies
Washington Clippers

Thanks in advance!

I'm really bad at old-time, 1900's ish logos, but here's my attempt at the Stars. Someone else may want to do another.

Thought I would try something, wanted it to look like silk letters sewed to a black cloth.

Cleveland Blackbirds. Not sure how old is old time.

Well he said his league is starting in 1900. So I imagine he wants something pretty old fashioned and simple.

Very nice job on all of them, guys.

dbacks, as you know I'm not a 1900's logos specialist, but to me it has the look of 1900.

nml, like that embroidered look.

scotto, "Heckel and Jeckel" are perfect.

Your logos are why I spend most of my time now on the graphics and logos forum.

It's the first thing I do when I turn on my computer.

You are keeping me away from playing the 1902 World Series in my fictional/historical league right now.

Here's an attempt at an old looking Clippers logo:

Also, let me know if it appears transparent in the game. It shouldn't, but let me know.

MannyTrillo · 10-22-2003, 04:16 AM

Thanks, guys, those look great! The "Washington" part of the logo does appear transparent though, and the Philadelphia Stars logo shows up completely transparent. I'm saving them as .bmp's, not sure if that might be the problem.

I also really like that Heckyl and Jeckyl Blackbirds logo. I'm not so much of a purist that the logos have to look just like turn of the century ones, so long as they don't look modern.

Thanks guys, keep up the great work!

No, has nothing to do with the format. I think I can fix that real quick.

dbacks · 10-22-2003, 08:14 PM

Try these.

MannyTrillo · 10-23-2003, 02:22 AM

Got 'em, they look great. Thanks!

dbacks · 10-23-2003, 11:32 AM

No Problem.
