[E92_]

That's probabaly why you couldn't find it E92, he's using a mac...

Wait, what is that version?

Yeh, it looks a bit different to my Word.

Alright guys, on the topic of text another question. Does anyone know of the GC font and whether it's readily available? It may be a custom font but they seem to use it a lot on their website

eg

Otherwise, what's the font that the paint numbers are in? If anyone else doesn't know, surely smeagle does.

Cheers guys

It'd probably be a custom font. The tails would be the custom thing about it.

I got a new laptop with Windows7 (god awful OS it is) a couple of months ago. I installed Photoshop CS5 on to it last night.

Does anyone know how to make the PS icons in Explorer show up as the actual jumper design/photo on W7?? Ive tried downloading the .dll file and changing it in the Adobe/Shell folder.

I had it working on my other laptop with Vista but I cant work out how to do it with W7

BTW its Windows7 64 bit.

According to MyFonts, the closest thing is Balboa light. Looks good, but costs $40.

You can probably find it for free somewhere though.

 

[E92_]

Havn't seen you in a while, Ganty.

Can't help you with your question, be it's great to see you back man

 

[jethro11]

Question. Are these long sleeves underneath the actual jumper or just part of it? I must say black is an odd colour for the sleeves.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Probably stock sleeves sewn on, I'd imagine.

 

[Gibbsy]

Rhyce Shaw used to do that a lot, he'd wear standard black sleeves under a short sleeve guernsey rather than just a long sleeve guernsey.

 

[jethro11]

Akh, thanks Gibbs

 

[Gibbsy]

You're welcome mate.

 

[Andonis1997]

Wow, I've either never seen that guernsey, or haven't seen it for a while or I didn't care about what teams wore then...

 

[Maxwell110]

I saw that guernsey on ebay about a month ago it might have been.

 

[sighclone]

That guernsey looks about as useful as the Rugby League International Federation.

 

[E92_]

It has the WCE logo watermarked through the jumper and the number is printed on so I'd say that it is a PI.

 

[BennyW]

yeh i found out that its a 2008 chad fletcher PI but the idots got the current #7 Chris Masten to sign it ahah

Yeh thanks guys. Hoping to get back into the designing a bit. But because the file names of my designs are so vague being able to view the tumbnails in Explorer makes it alot easier.

BTW is KOTW still running??

 

[Andonis1997]

I don't think so Ganty...

 

[PAFC_04]

Anyone have a PAFC monogram I can use?

 

[Lion Cub 16]

Saw this thread on the Lions board and thought that it could be a good idea to do on this board since there have been quite a few new names popping up lately. This thread would be good for new posters and older posters and would help us get to know each other. Do the mods think this is a good idea??? Here are 20 questions, some similar to the Lions thread and others made up by me

Winning a large sum of money by windfall, in particular on a quiz show. Unfortunately all the smart quiz shows have died and the only ones on now require you to be some kind of extravert with no intelligence, you just have to be loud and colourful.

 

[Maxwell110]

For number 6, is it any footy memory or just an AFL memory?
