TK Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Redesign the ES header. I'm curious to see what you guys can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 The logo too? I think the X logo is boss and shouldn't be changed. What are the dimensions that it has to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 The X logo has to be in there. So does a Skins helmet or logo. Go with the same dimensions we currently have for the final product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praise_gibbs Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Rough draft.. I don't love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Great idea, TK. Not that there's anything wrong with the current one, but it doesn't hurt to tap into some of the significant talent we have here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 PG - I like your graphic a lot. I like the football field in the background there - an improvement on the burgundy speckle background, IMO. I love the helmet w/ the 21. The nfl logo is three years old, but correct for the "21" sticker period. Check this out: The original ES logo. Note that two different fonts are used in the name. Also, the horizontal stripe is the same width as the space between the "E" lines, and is only in "EXTREME" and not SKINS. Not suggesting anything, just putting down info.

LeftCoast Skinz FAN Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Does size of the header include both images? I have 822x148 with the text part of the header and 173x148 of the helmet image. With those combined it is 995x148, is that the size of the header you are looking for? Just want to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 If I may speak for TK... We actually would use two images. One as TK has above, and another for the helmet. The total width of both together should be right about 1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftCoast Skinz FAN Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Yeah, I had a question about that. Why is there two images? Usually the header is just one image. I was surprised to see that it is two images. Do we have to have it in two images, not a problem for me just wondering if it has to be that way? :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 995 x 148 Not really sure why its 2 images instead of being image mapped. It would definately look better if that open space weren't between the 2 images though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 It might be two images so that those with low screen resolution settings can see the helmet and therefore click on it - since the helmet would move down to the next line, rather than be forced off to the right of the right edge.

Yeah, I just kinda threw it out there to see what people liked and didnt like. I made it late at night when I couldn't sleep so I didn't put my all into it. I am not sure the black and white field matches the current layout though. That was my main gripe with it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 PG - I'm not sure if you can put a horizontal line through the old pythagorus font like that. It just doesn't look right. You're kinda mixing up modern with classic. That might be one of the reasons Blade did it in two different fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I'll have something on tuesday, I'm trying to vector the 'X' symbol in illustrator so I'm able to change it a bit, the current one looks a bit washed out. Actually PG, I had a similar thought about the black field but I changed my mind and I think I'm just going to modernize it. Who ever designed both the banners did a really good job. I like yours PG but I've seen better from you in your walls, it almost looks like you rushed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Homer Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 PG - You didn't like the green in the field? You like this font better than pythagoris? Not sure if I like the feather behind the "E" Otherwise, it looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 PG, I liked the first one in the thread better, the latest...that E just looks disjointed. Like it's not part of the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
