Making some logos for myself, any interest in my uploading the batch when done? ('knit' cap logos)

Sagitta · 06-28-2011, 02:35 AM

Basically playing around between irfanview, photoshop, and inkspace and making myself some logos. I'm only three in, but its getting much faster as I figure this stuff out.

That said, when I finish up would anyone be interested in what I'm making? Provided I don't conk out and lose interest, I'll probably plow right on ahead into making fictionals as well.

I work, so this wouldn't be a really quick thing as I'm doing it in my free time before bed - probably at least a week yet, if not more for me.

EDIT: This is actually going a touch faster than expected.

Have three more done...

EDIT II: Knocked out the National League... when I get the American done I'll bundle them up and post the zip or something.

EDIT: The American league is done.

These are great! I'd love to have them if you finish the majors! I'd also like the minors if you ever get around to them.

These are indeed awesome. I would like to have them too!

Sagitta · 06-28-2011, 10:18 AM

Ker-bumpage. I may redo a few that look off to me (like the Cards). If I do it'll be in whatever final zip I make of all the majors.

mikecos23 · 06-28-2011, 07:19 PM

Wow these are outstanding! Would definitely use these!

johndoe8865 · 06-28-2011, 11:57 PM

These look very unique and cool!

Sagitta · 06-29-2011, 01:47 AM

Thanks everyone.

Looks like I have them all knocked out now, so now I'll probably go on and try my hand at fictionals or something. If I get any numbers of them done, I'll post them here I suppose.

FWIW, I kind of like how these show up in-game, as they're nice and blocky and hide the strange unaligned background. Then again, I'm prejudiced since I made the things!

Do you have any intention of doing the minor leagues? I would love to use these in my MLB online league, but I'm picky in that I like my majors and minors to have the same logo style.

I might take a crack at them - it'll be a while before I do though since that would be a pretty major undertaking, and finding easy to use (clear!) graphics could be a bit of a pain in the tail.

I had a few (Baltimore, Cleveland, Tampa) that gave the final step in the process for me fits just with the majors, and I had 'proper' logos to work with for them. Thats one reason I went with the O instead of the bird for the Orioles - the bird just would not render properly for squat for me due to the thin lines involved.

Chris Creamer's site has some great logos

johndoe8865 · 06-29-2011, 05:13 PM

Sagitta, are you gonna make these available as a zip file or maybe send them to Padresfan mod site?

Submitted it to PadresFan's site, so they might be available to there if gmail didn't eat the zip file on me.

Thundercrack · 06-30-2011, 07:24 AM

These are nice.

Aaaand I caved.

This may take a while though. I'm currently part way through the IL.

EDIT: Just realized I left the TMs in for the league logos. I need to pull those - they cause stray artifacts/threads on the logos.

legofarley · 06-30-2011, 12:20 PM

Sagitta, these look sharp. Are you using images of the caps/patches or is this an effect you developed within photoshop/gimp?

Using images in Inkscape, sometimes cleaned up first a bit in photo shop, then run through a program that does setup for embroidery projects and then reduced in size to 150x150 using ifranview.

udbacker58 · 06-30-2011, 02:10 PM

Those are stunning! I wish I could help you out. I have the Adobe Master Suite and make my own logos for the fictional league I commish, but I don't have a clue what program you are using to create these.

toddgregory · 07-10-2011, 10:29 PM

i love these logos! Would anyone be willing to do the same style for my expansion team??

portland Pioneers

Hunter Green and white

Thanks

Athletics17 · 07-13-2011, 05:52 PM

These look great in the game. You can see the texture very well. I like how they stand out. Great job!

Bowtie · 03-02-2012, 07:09 PM

Sagitta, with the Marlins changing from Florida to Miami, do you have any plans of updating their logo?

Thanks!
