On a more humorous note: I recently purchased OOTP 24 and haven't even seen the opening screen yet. I started thinking of the new league I want to create and have been creating logos for it since the game launched.



Here are a few more highlights:
Greenville Vultures
Allentown United
Tucson Thunderbirds
Gulfport Shrimpers
Canton Wasps

Greensboro Goats
Raleigh Resolute
Miami Riptide
Baton Rouge Hydra
San Diego Oceania

I'll post some examples but there are a ton more available in the drive. Hope this is helpful to someone. There are now nearly 1,100 logos in the drive.



Fresno Bees
Asheville Bees*
Hampton Roads Corsairs
Orlando Corsairs
Berkeley Basset Hounds


*Evidently Asheville NC is the beekeeping capital of the US, but as a state North Dakota has the most bees. There are a few ND cities in the drive too!

I know I said I was considering letting this thread fade away but I think mostly I'm just trying to figure out how to be useful. I hope making multiple versions with different cities is helpful.



Additionally I've had some personal tragedy this past month and I've found a bit of solace in creating... hence the sudden outburst of new things. I don't really know where this thread will go in the future but I'm glad a few people have liked what I've posted.

I'm sorry to post so often.

But your work is truly outstanding.

I don't want to impose, but would you consider doing a few personal requests occasionally for the OOTP Community?

I have a long-running Islandian Pro Alliance dynasty thread... been doing it for over 15 years... I need updates for about 10 teams.

You are the type of designer I need.

Only do these personal requests if you really would enjoy doing them.
No problem if you don't want to do the personal requests.

You could call it the hurricanekevin request thread.

I'd love to do some requests for you, just let me know what you'd like. I'll even do secondary logos for you

I wish I had the talent to make uniforms for these teams but I've never been good with fonts/wordmarks.

Wow!

That is great!

So that I don't clutter up your thread, I will post a thread to your attention and give you the team logos that need to be updated... I will give you details about the fictional town cultures that may help you create your masterpieces... I know you like to make them as authentic as possible, even if they are not a real town.

Give me a week or so to get it all together.

Thank you for doing this.

Scipio, as good as you are with stadium graphics, it should be easy for you to create logos and jerseys.

Even computer-challenged guy like me can do a decent logo, jerseys and caps using justafan's great software.

But there is no way I can create custom billboards for my league stadiums like you can... I tried it using your instructions, but I soon reached a point that I just couldn't go beyond.

I'll be glad to make some logos, jerseys and caps if you need them, but keep in mind, my work is just borderline average at best.

Let me know by private message... don't want to highjack kevin's wonderful thread.

You've got me confused with someone else. I've never done any work on stadiums. All I've ever done for mods is some uniforms for which all the logos and wordmarks were already made (mostly from Sportslogos.net with the designer's permission).

That's where I get tripped up too. I can make some really great looking uniforms for Football Manager but I've just never liked anything I've created for OOTP (or FHM).

Sounds great! And yes, culture and background would be really helpful to really craft something.


This is a good time for me to take something like this on. I had to drop my design classes this semester due to the personal tragedy I mentioned.

Maybe hit up Txranger or Silvam14 and see if they'd like to team up with you and create uniforms for your logos.

Sorry to hear that things have been difficult for you... my thoughts and prayers will be with you.

I've never really connected with them so I'd hate to impose.

Yep, that would be great if I could get them to update my teams... but I can't do that... both of them have done much work for me already... I don't want to impose on them anymore.

They are two of the best.

I'm lucky that hurricanekevin is doing this for me... he is right up there with the very best.

[Eugene Church]

Yep, hurricanekevin's logos with txranger and silvam 14 caps and jerseys, would be BASEBALL HEAVEN.

Wow!... you could start a great new league using their great work.

Palm Bay Storks
Springfield Foxes
