Soccer Team Boards.ie needs a crest too!

    In light of the other post in here about the newly founded Boards.ie Soccer team, we could do with a crest too.

    Something like other football team's crests, simple, but getting the point accross. Perhaps incorporating the Boards.ie 'motto' : "Now yer talkin..."

    Again, maybe using the Boards.ie colours would be nice.

    I don't know about a prize though...that's KdjaC's domain.

    It might be an idea to wait until a name has been agreed upon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,859 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    I actually think the O in boards would make a really cool looking crest. It's very simple I know, but it would look pretty cool.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Yep, fair enough.

    Like to see some ideas though, if anyone wants.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Boards.ie will be the name on the crest.

    Team name in league may be different, but irrelevant to the crest.

    Prizes from other stupid competition carry over here :D

    Will find out crest specs.

    Don't know how I could use the O but I'll give it another try later.

    edit:see attached for updated logo

    thats cool. Quite Major League in its design.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭Havermeyer


    I'm just in from the pub (kd's pro evo competition in McDowell's and more) and I've had a go at throwing something together. Any thoughts on this design? Obviously some of you folks with the right equipment could clean up the design, but this is the general idea.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,859 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Not too bad:)

    Just one thing though, if this is going to be a crest it's most likely going to be embroidered or not be able to be printed as well as your monitor can display an image;) so the 3d effects will probaly have to be gotten rid of:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Oh I would assume so unless they are being directly printed on or something.

    edit: effects can be easily removed, clarification from KdjaCL or seansouth..guys any idea how these will be printed?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Lol nice one Karoma rar jaguar.

    I ring pro team monday find out what story is on crests.
    In case they dont do them can anyone sow?

    Here is one I did for the Nike XI over at PESFan.

    The current entries look a bit 'old skool'. I'll have a more modern one up tomorrow. I have to draw it first.

    I ordering the jersey so gonna stick a cut off time of 2pm on it.

    The old skool you refer to are some in jokes on the site Atari Jaguar being a mock reference to any poll ever posted here.

    One of the admins asked could the eyes in the O be in the name.

    Just so your not left out :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    Ruu: The eyes must be asymmetric:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,354 ✭✭✭ErinGoBrath


    If it's gonna get embroidered onto the jerseys it can't have blended colours or drop shadows etc.

    Design it as a vector so you can resize it with ease.

    Here's one I created for Knocklyon Celtic:
    http://www.knocklyonceltic.com/

    If you get nothing over the next few days I'll have a go.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    I'm not sure if its being printed on or not but someone else is going to have to sow otherwise. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    gets embriodered and sowed on.
