Contest For New .NET Header Graphic

[Throwdown]

i like how you made the "K" and the Lombardi work well together.

 

[RolandDeschain]

You're just jealous because I have talent...

This is what you did to this thread:

Well, I'm a firm believer that if you're going to do something, do it with MS Paint!

 

[Laloosh]

I'm terrible at this but...

 

[Hawknballs]

hmmm test...

wow, that looks great!

Thanks open to any suggestions about the 12th man tagline..I wanted something that sounded tough to go with the text so I went with "stronghold" but not sure if that sounds too cheesy. I'm also not sure if i'm using too much of the logo or not.

looks cool what editor are you using? if it's photoshop make sure you turn on the AA (anti-aliasing) for your text, to get rid of the jaggies around it.

Photoshop Elements, thanks for the tip.

Well, here are a few tagline alternatives, if you're not sure about "stronghold."

Voice of the 12th man
Home of the 12th man
The essential 12th man community

I kinda prefer "Home of the 12th Man," myself, but it's also used at Texas A&M.

Edit: Also, if you're worried about using too much official logo, I can send you the full sized osprey picture I used in creating my entry. Won't look exactly the same, but still looks great, and no worries about legal issues, so you can use as much as you want.

I think if we include a logo/catchphrase we should consider using something along the lines of the "Legions of 12's" I like the masses of twelves being referred to as legions of twelves. Fits in with the Legion of Boom identity. Just a thought.

I was considering building a kickbutt Hawk Legionairre outfit for the coming season. Pretty cool.

Yeah, that cleans the edges up nicely.

I think Guardian's Signature pic should be our banner.

Add the "Seahawks.net" characters in the same spot and font as his username is now.




An implied Seahawks player running away from an implied Niners player engaged in a futile attempt at a tackle.

IMHO, it says exactly what we all need to see every time we refresh our browser. :mrgreen:

Thing is, I found that picture originally on amazon.com of all places, then just photoshopped it a bit. I don't really know how to make a picture like that. Not on the computer, anyway.

I am good with sketching, though, so I suppose I can try to draw it, send to comp, then edit from there. ... Okay, I'll try that and see how it turns out.

I personally think Aros and now from what I seen HawkNBalls should be the two selections, or the ones doing the desigins. I like the chrome look even though you kill it too much sometimes Aros. HawkNBalls graphic looks good, maybe add some more flair, idk just giving me designer input.

Laloosh gets a weekend nomintation or maybe gameday, I think it would be incredibly outstanding to have that up on Sundays, make it happen mods.

 

[Guardian]

@Hawknballs: So far your design is my favorite, but I was wondering what you'd think of the following tweaks to make it more... 'poppy.'

-perhaps give the est., 12th man tagline, and SB champs the same font and 3d effect that .net has? but in grey, and all drop shadowed.
-or, if you'd rather they look more backgroundy, perhaps give them that indented look?

that's all i can think of.

yeah I thought about trying to incorporate something like this but I was worried about it being too busy. The wings I would need to redo, they are from a stock graphic library that i'm not sure we could use (not sure if this site makes any sort of profit, if not then it would be fine but i could also create something original and similar)



would look like this on the top

I need to make the est. part pop more but i don't want to add too much to the other text, the site name should be the main message the other stuff should be kinda secondary.

Harley Davidson would like to speak with you about the use of its logo.

It looks good, but if possible could you maybe add the lombardi somewhere I want there to be emphasis on that. Look at me giving demands, lol. I also like graphics and have made it a part of my life but don't have the patience to do something like this right now, perhaps I'll get in a mood and do one.

 

[3Girls'HawkDad]

I have no skill for this (too cool, hung) but just a thought...

The head- on Lombardi with the logo on the side like its a helmet.

Make sense?

 

[Hawknballs]

Prob with that is that we don't have permission to use the full logo. Not even sure if I need to change my eye up a bit to use it.
