Soup Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I haven't been able to check out the flash stuff yet as it doesn't work with BlackBerry. But I'm dying to see what you came up with up with Soup. Out of the box is good. Do whatever. I'm trying not to be much of an influence as far as direction goes right now. I want to see what you guys come up with. If you want to push the envelope then shove the envelope outta the way. Raise the bar. I've got my own ideas but I'm holding them back right now. Alright cool, that's all I wanted to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Homer Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hmm... Thanks CK. Both yours are out there pushing the envelope for sure. Personally - I think I still gotta go with PG. I love his latest. I like that the EXTREME is bigger than SKINS because that's how you say it. You say "EXTREME skins." I still miss the pythagoris font though. I admit, I like the classic stuff. The other thing I might suggest is make the X bigger? The banner looks a bit heavy on the right side. Know what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praise_gibbs Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I might put the feather on the E instead of the X and see how that looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 PG, I like the direction, but not the font for ES. Not sure I like white either. But not suggesting B&G either. But what do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 You guys are great. Keep it up and explore. This is early in the process and room for your creativity is wide open. I suck at this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Went back the traditional look. I redesigned the X logo, and switched to the two font Extremeskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Homer Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Now I'm liking the above two combos... I like Soup's EXTREME although I don't like the X. I like the font the way it's italicized. I love the SKINS in the pythagoris font. I think I do prefer the gold color. I also like the large SIZE of Soup's feather. But on PG's I love the green field background and the bright helmet and the football. I love the helmet because it has everything - the nfl logo, the REDSKINS name, the 21 sticker, and the indian head logo. I'm not real crazy about the feather being moved because the X with the feather is our ES logo. A combo of the above two would be nice. Again, this is only my humble opinion, which ain't worth much.

Soup Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm just going to post as much banners as I can and hope one of them gets picked up. Its hard to make something without knowing what you guys want. So I'll just post random stuff I guess. Feel free to download one of my banners and chop it up guys if you want to use something. PG if you want to take my font and paste it on to your background that's cool with me. I just want a new banner up. Really any of the designs would be an upgrade IMO I like Captain's banner with the yellow glowing text just because its loud and grabs attention.

RocketCitySkins Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm liking this but would like to see it with the feather moved back to the X, and the colors on the E tremeskins and THE OFFICIAL....... switched. Just a suggestion and curious to see how that would turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Homer Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 That looks great PG. I think it's the best yet (IMO). It's got wonderful contrast, it's sharp, it bright, it draws your eyes towards it. I also personally like the .com in it. Still - look at the existing logo. The X is slanted to the right, i.e. italicized. Is that a bad thing? Why not italicize EXTREME as Blade had done in 2000? And why not use the pythagoris font on SKINS?

Soup Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Last couple from me, don't have time until Sunday to work on more. I'm hoping more people post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Plenty of time, Soup. Personally, I prefer PG's at this point. I don't even know what to say. It's perfect, IMHO. Although, Soup, I do like the first one above in post #94 - I like the green-ness of the grass. Still - PG has an edge, IMO. Again, let me emphasize, I AM NOT THE AUTHORITY ON FORUM PAGE HEADING artwork lol. I wish some more people like RCS would give their opinions....

Soup Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Yeah, it would be a lot easier if there were some direction, I feel like I'm just shooting in the dark. I'll try something different with the next banner, I want to see if I can make something that doesn't resemble the previous ES banners. Step out of the box, so to speak. Who ultimately picks the winning design Mark? Will there be some sort of poll or do the MODs pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me someone needs to jump out of the box with something different....without being crazy. PG has my vote to this point, but yours look good soup.

Soup Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 See, I don't know I really like Mike's new banner. I think its really clean and sharp. I love the text. Nice job mike. Great touch on the redskins logo inside the X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
