Padres 40th Anniversary logo (1969-2009)

Lancaster · 08-09-2008, 02:18 AM

I know the Padres aren't having the greatest of seasons in 2008, but I was wondering if someone could come up with a great logo for the Padres 40th Anniversary for NEXT season(1969-2009). Can't wait to see what you guys come up with. Thank You.

Real quick one.. not really original, taken from the '05 Championship logo...

Here's another.. tried combining both the original and current logos (mostly the original!)

Great work on both of them. I like the second one better since it has the original Padres logo on it. You do some great art work. I always enjoy seeing what you create because you seem to have a very keen eye for what is needed on a logo or whatever you create. What graphics program do you use? Just curious!

Wow, thanks ! I use Photoshop. I've used GIMP, but I actually find Photoshop easier to use.

For most fictional logos that I create, I like to add something to the location, when possible. For this Padres one, I wanted to go back to the original colors and logo, but wanted to add something from the current style.

Thanks, again!

You are certainly welcome. I always used PSP for my graphics but I have lost it somewhere. Thought I had it on a disk but can't find it now. I do have the newest Photoshop but I just can't get the hang of it like I did when using PSP...I have tried to read all of the available information for the program, and there are a lot but I just can't seem to grasp what they are doing or saying in them. Maybe I am just not trying hard enough to learn Photoshop...not sure.

Anyway, thanks for the reply. I tried Gimp but I got lost on that one as well. Guess I am just a dummy.

Paint.NET - ever tried that? I like the GUI better than GIMP, as that drives me crazy.

Anyhow, I really like the second one quite a lot.

Oh yea, and on the first one, that banner looks great. Would look really nice with some of that gold/brown color as a sort of piping on the edges.

Yes, I have tried Paint.net also several others that have been mentioned in other posts. I just can't seem to get the hang of these others. Most likely I am not taking enough time reading the how to files in these programs. Guess it is a case like buying only Chevy's because that is all you and your parents owned.

I just haven't taken enough time to learn them I suppose. I think I am still hoping to find the PSP program that I know I had.

Anyway, my problem. I will probably end up trying to figure out Photoshop since it has so much written about it on their site and other places. Just hate to take the time, I suppose...and a lot of the times, I just can't seem to understand what I am reading...and I am not a stupid person, just don't understand the terminology I suppose. DUH!

Glad we have so many talented people here already so that maybe it is just a waste of time to worry about making anything new for the sim. Thanks all!
