Mod. Notice Competitions: READ BEFORE POSTING A COMPETITION

[Fizzler]

Not so much the name of the board itself, but yes inherently it does mark 10 years of the board. Good pick-up Fizz.

For those who are unaware, initially this board was called 'Footy Fotoshops' way back when in 2006 and was first used as a haven of designing in September 2007 when the infamous Kerrby began the "Create an AFL Guernsey" thread (which has since been renamed but still lives on today). InCase's "Kit of the Week" began in April 2009 and was definitely one of the reasons why I signed up to BF. Cory's "Away Guernsey of the Week" followed in August 2009, and by November 2009 the board was moved into the "Australian Football" subsection up the top of the forum, rather than being tucked away (I think under "More Footy"?) near the very bottom.

Bear in mind it was still a subforum of the Footy Videos and Pics board at this stage, but in later years the board outgrew its parent tenfold. Later it became Footy Jumpers and Fotoshops (while still a subforum), then Footy Graphic Design as it encompassed all aspects of footy design culture, before slightly rebranding a couple(?) of years ago by re-adding 'Footy Jumpers' back into the board title.

I think a 10-year jamboree would be pretty awesome. Even try and tag in some of the old members and get them back designing again; vote on old polls etc. A few honour rolls and stuff. Great idea.

Cheers Gibbsy, so it has the go-ahead then? I remember reading that it was in the "Other Sports" which confused everyone and then it was moved. This will be good, I'll make a hub thread later.

You still need the 10 likes?

Yeah Fizzler don't jump into it right yet. Give it some time. Given its grandiose nature I would rather it be more than just a regular comp, I may PM you over the next week or so and figure out some stuff to make it even cooler and add a bit more history to it.

Ahhh yes thanks Gibbsy! Now I recall. For some reason I thought the Footy Fotoshops became Footy Videos and Pics, rather than being a subforum of it, and that FJGD was an entirely new board. Makes much more sense now.

Some interesting reading going back to the early threads from the board. Brings back some good memories! Kerrby (and what a character he was! Ended up permabanned IIRC?) ran the first ever comp. There were three participants over five rounds with the highest aggregate score winning. And as it turns out...

Final Results:

Competitor number 1(Crow28): Points - 13

Competitor number 2(Tigerdrive): Points - 7

Competitor number 3(dale_thomas13): Points - 12

It was a tie between first and third but the last round won it for Crow28. Sometimes when you have larger images, they don't load properly and that's what happened for dale_thomas13 because he sent in a double(you wern't supposed to). Cost you.

Congratulations to Crow28 for winning the first ever, Create an AFL Guernsey Competiton.

I was the winner! I must get some cred for winning the first ever comp on this board, surely!

What happened to Kerrby anyway?

Permabant, came back as PAdman, bant again

Yeah I know that, but what was he banned for?

 

[Stromageddon]

Probably for breaking well-know site rules, such as discussing reasons for bans publicly.

 

[The Cheesecake]

Is there something in doing some sort of BBL redesign/development? I always thought some of the logos and colour schemes could afford to be played with, mainly stemming from the fact that the Heat and the Strikers look a bit too similar. Could be an idea for a weekly comp in the current sea of league comps. Discuss.

 

[akkaps]

I wouldn't mind it seeing as though there are only 8 teams, we can get through them thick and fast before interest dies down.

 

[Spanna_]

How about a return of this.

[Stromageddon]

I'm not wanting to run this forever just a few rounds but

Retouch a shit logo.

First one.

 

[Stromageddon]

First one.

I was thinking the Bangladesh Cricket logo

 

[El_Scorcho]

Wow that is bad

 

[akkaps]

What's wrong with the logo, it has some good symbolism.

The symbolism isn't the issue really. It looks like it was drawn in the 70s and has just never been updated.

It could definitely do with a refresh in the modern era, with Bangladesh now an increasingly important test playing nation.

 

[akkaps]

But I like the amateurish look. And Bagladesh where in the right place at the right time with getting Test status, I could go on, but this is not the right thread.

They were, but they are a nation of 160,000,000 people who love cricket. It was only ever a matter of time.

You just said it. It's amateurish. The point of the comp is to make it look professional.

The elements are there, and they're good, it just needs to be redone properly.

Then keep the design, just redo what's inside the shield.

 

[El_Scorcho]

But stuff that's outside the shield is poorly executed as well. The banner looks like it was made on MS word in 1993

That's because it probably was, for that time and era, it looks good.

 

[NM_Mitchell]

But we're not in that time or era.

An update could only be a good thing.
