Making a Fictional League, Help Needed!

[Clemente21PIT]

I'm getting ready to create a fictional league in OOTP and want to be as immersed as possible. In order to do this, I want to use custom created logos, caps, and jerseys. However, I don't have the software or skills necessary to do this for myself. If anyone could design something or help out my ideas for my teams, then I would be very thankful. I will provide my ideas, color choices, terrible sketches I've made, and the fonts I've picked out. Even if you just offer your thoughts, any help would be appreciated. The teams I'd like help with are:

Major League Level:
Gloucester Fishermen - done
Chautauqua Lakers - idea has been posted
Swan Island Seabirds - done
Goldberg City Classics - done
Shire Hobbits - idea has been posted
Mt. Olympus Legends - idea has been posted
Little Whinging Wizards - done
Bruge Brawlers
Paradise Fours
Panem Jays - done

Developmental Level:
Barahona Spartans
Samsburg Bells
Scottsfield Sox - done
Madeleine Magpies
Bray City Stars
Romanova Avengers
Emil City Settlers
Lindelof Islanders
Burbank Heroes
Carvahall Dragons
Cair Paravel Centaurs
Santa Barbara Psychics


My team-by-team ideas will come next.

[Clemente21PIT]

Name - Little Whinging Wizards
Colors - Main: Black, Secondary: Red
Font (according to Google Drive) - Graduate
Notes - I'd like black lettering with red lettering behind it. The following "sketch" is a rough logo and the word part shows what I'd like the word mark across the chest to look like. I would love this word mark to be curved and the home jersey to have a white background. For the logo, I'd love it to be touched up and all of it changed to follow the black/red color combo.
Requests - a logo, cap, and home jersey

Clemente21Pit,

I am a beginner at making logos, jerseys and caps.
I would be glad to create them for your league.
It will be next week before I can work on your project, should you want my help.
I would like to repay the OOTPB Community for the great graphics they have created for me over the past 13 years.
However, I am limited in what I can do.
I basically just do old-fashioned styles.
I can only find a finished image and create a logo, jersey and cap using the original colors of the finished image... I can't change the colors of the original finished image from cephasjames' image collection.
I can only us fonts in my computer... no scripts unless it is part of the original finished image that I get from cephasjames great collection of logos.

If you want to choose your own choice of colors, I certainly understand that. That is what I do. But I'm afraid it may take a long, long time to complete your league... the Modders on the Forum have dropped greatly in numbers... it is hard to get logos, jerseys and caps done these days.

I don't say this to be critical, the Modders have been worked to death over the years and I have the highest respect for all of them... but this is just the reality of the times.

Because it is hard to get large requests done, I now do my own logos, jerseys and caps using justafan's great software... I'm a computer dunce, but I managed it with the help of the great guys on this Forum... if I could do it, anyone can... you just have to have desire, patience and perseverance to do it.

See the sample logos below.

My work can't compare with the creative genius of the good designers on this Forum.

I would be willing to help, but if my skill is not what you want, I can understand that. My feelings won't be hurt, if you want to wait for the real Modders to take care of your request.

I just don't want to waste my time producing work that you wouldn't use.

I await your reply.

Some cap and jersey samples of my work.

Thanks Eugene! I'd love for you to make the logos, caps, and jerseys for me! I can provide the colors I want for each team and my general ideas in the next couple days.

I've also noticed the decline of modders, and I would love to make my own designs, but as I've stated before, I don't have the software or skills necessary. I look forward to a logo and jersey creator for the Mac. Thanks for your offer, I look forward to seeing your work!

Please note, whatever the colors are for the image from cephasjames' logo collection are the only colors I can do... I can make the lettering and background coordinate with the colors of the image or mascot, but I can't change colors of an image or mascot.

I only do circular logos... don't have the skill to do anything else.

All I do is go to cephasjames and find a mascot or image, then I use the colors of the image or mascot for the colors of the jerseys and caps... I can also use the colors to do the lettering and background on circular logos.

If you want to pick your mascot and colors, you will have to give me the mascot or image that you want from cephasjames' logo collection, then I can use its colors for the jerseys and caps... and also create a logo using the same colors... but I can't change colors on cephasjames' logos, mascots and images.

I use cephasjames images and mascots also because they are transparent and can be used in justafan's logo, jersey and cap creation software.

Ir will be next week before I can get back with you... having my computer worked on.

[Eugene Church]

One last suggestion for you:

I would post each team request one at a time in its own thread.

I have found that is the quickest way to get them done.

[Isedelyod]

Many of the modders are temporarily occupied with another task, which you should see the end product in about a week or so. I am sure most will be back at some point (I know I will be), but my priority is elsewhere at the moment.

Eriq Jaffe has made a very nice Cap Maker that is web based and works on MAC. Here is the link to his thread...

That's great to know, Isedelyod... you are one of the guys I am greatly indebted to for all the fine work you did for me... and for many others.

You have been very much missed lately.

Looking forward to your return.

I will take on the Wizards for you. It may take me a couple days to get you something.

[Clemente21PIT]

Name - Swan Island Seabirds
Colors - Main: Navy, Secondary: Teal
Font (according to Google Drive) - Syncopate
Requests - a logo, cap, and home jersey

Please make a logo from this (I found this on google, just search "seabirds clip art" and its within the first ten results):

Feel free to switch the colors up or flip the image.

Please use something similar to this for the word mark (preferably the teal would just border the navy instead of highlighting it):

*I've since requested another version of this team in a separate thread, but I would still love for someone to make a set with the above specifications. I'm thinking if they rebrand eventually then one set can replace the other.

[Clemente21PIT]

Thank you DCHepler25! I look forward to your creation and thank you for the suggestion of the Cap Maker.
I've used the Cap Maker before, however without a good logo or jersey, I can't make much. Once a Jersey Maker and some form of a Logo Maker are created for Mac I'll be able to produce my own sets, but until them I have to rely on all the great modders out there (who make better sets then I can ever hope to make).

[Clemente21PIT]

Name - Gloucester Fishermen
Colors - Main: Maroon, Secondary: Cream
Font - Bird Old English
Notes -
A maroon version of this for the logo:

For the jersey I would like it modeled after the Yankees, but with the F over the heart. Additionally, I'd like the jersey to have maroon pinstripes and to be cream instead of white.
Requests - a logo, cap, and home jersey

Name - Scottsfield Sox
Everything is the same as the Gloucester set, except the logo is a maroon version of this:

I would also like this to be over the heart, similar to how the White Sox have it arranged, with maroon pinstripes and cream coloring.

[DCHepler25]

I'll take Gloucester and Scottsfield also.

Logos - please let me know if you need anything changed.


Caps...

[DCHepler25]

The Wizards...

[Clemente21PIT]

DCHepler25, thanks a lot! These look great!

Any chance you could provide 150X150 versions of the Fishermen, Sox, and Wizards logos? Also would you mind making a home jersey for both the Fishermen and Sox, and a cap and jersey for the Wizards?

I can make you 150x150 logos but the 300x300 will also work in-game. If you still want them let me know and I will resize them.

I am working on the jerseys and Wizards files. I just like to post items as I finish them

No need to resize if they work at 300X300 then! Thanks for your work and sorry for my impatience. I look forward to your other creations!
