Old-Timey Logos & Eventually More: A Reboot - Page 6

tm1681 · 10-30-2023, 01:40 PM

After getting through the final Football Manager pre-release deadline I have some free time again.

I turned the two association finals series into tournaments in-game. Doesn't quite work how I want them to so I may just revert them back to Association Playoffs, but in the meantime I did logo sets for them since they show up as competitions:

I messed around with elements and colors of the official Presidential Seal to come up with the logo for the President's Cup. For the Tucker-Wheaton Cup, I traced over the top third or so of the Stanley Cup in Illustrator, harkening back to the first 20-30 years or so of the cup when it was a "challenge series" instead of something that was awarded to the NHL champion. Do I like the gradient? Not sure - went back and forth on that and staying with light silver color but I'll stick with the metallic look for now.

The third logo for each one was something I whipped up while imagining that what it would be like if teams wore a patch for the competition on their jerseys.

I should note that I've decided 1905 will be a major year for the in-game universe, and at that point I'll upload a major batch of stuff to the public OneDrive folder and hopefully create a bunch of templates.

Your logos are amazing, thanks for sharing them! I've been thinking/working up my own sim where MLB starts then goes away, and your logos are perfect for it.

Looking forward to what you create!

I've got my PCL league up and ready to go in my in-game universe. I don't have a uniform collage ready, but I did put up the Vancouver Mounties uniform in my story thread. Here's what it looks like with a comparison to the RCMP uniform that it's inspired by:

Wow... I really like the VM's uni! Very classic!!

Here's how the entire PCL uniform set looks in the "Modify Colors & Uniforms" screen:

I truly LOVE the PCL - my top three favorite Leagues!! Awesome PCL's Unis

Just wanted to say I've been really inspired by your work lately. Your style and ability has given me a lot to learn from. Keep up the great work!

So, bad news:

There have been some issues with my fictional universe that require going to a backup, but the last time I did that I lost a lot of data - 25 years worth of leaderboard data and some other stuff - for some reason so I'm going to start it over. I also found that some things had actually never ported over properly from OOTP23. Why? I don't know.

Why do this? Because I figured out some things that you can do with the World Database while playing in commissioner mode that allow you to have a regional league while also dictating what foreign players are most likely to come from, via changing around the baseball quality of different nations. This would give me a mid-1800s league where the players are from the Northeast AND foreigners come in that model immigration patterns to the USA at the time.

In the meantime, I'll probably work on some random and alternate logos and post them here.

I've downloaded a .SVG of Patriot Pat and want to see what he'd look like as an alternate Albany Minutemen logo. There are some other ideas I have floating around in my head.

The good news: Since I already have everything up to 1905 pre-made it shouldn't take long to get back to where I was - just depends on how much I want to write for my fiction thread.

Looking forward to this...

Hello, I was wondering if their was a link to the original NBBO that worked. The first Onedrive no longer works. In my save I am going to make an alternate universe where the NBBO is a feeder league to the MLB starting in 1871.
