Aight - last couple:

No offense taken if they don't float anyone's boat.

 

[LuckyLuke]

OK, had a few minutes sapre during lunch, but the best i could come up with was this. All the others were average.

I tried to keep the font the same size. Looks better, no?

No offence but I prefer Grim's desgins! The font looks to big?

I believe the problem (respectfully) with Grim's designs is that they're actually too tall to fit. They're around 18 pixels high - and it looks like the max height limit is 15. It may not sound like a lot but the writing is already on the smallish side, so when the entire tag is shrunk by ~15% the name appears even smaller and borderline illegible.

Grim / LL, lemme know if I'm talking rubbish.

 

[GingerGreatness]

Would be happy with any of the above.

I copied the tag image out of someone's profile to give me the exact dimensions, but when I pasted it there was a bit of a black border around it. So you could be right.

I'm starting to think that the scruffy fringe isn't the way to go. If the tag was bigger it would look great, but being so small it looks a bit messy. JMO.

None taken. The font is actually the same as i've always had it, i've just had to squish the letters together a bit.

WBB, I don't know the pixel requirements TBH. I also just copied one of the other team tags.

I think you're right Grim. The thought was good, but unless you can put a cool wig on the tag without the pixel restraints, it does look messy.

 

[Freakie]

Perhaps we go with the solid orange around the outside then?

 

[seanc1971]

Hey there, Grim... the tags look great. Any chance of getting the BLACK tag added to my profile?

Cheers!

 

[GingerGreatness]

Out of respect for the man - how long do you reckon it'll take to get the Banfield tags processed by admin Grim?

After 3 rounds of excitement, I'm looking forward to sporting that bad boy around the place.

Cheers.

The plan is to submit the next round of tags on Monday. Unless there is a consensus on an alternate design, I will just request the same design as the Black and Fevola tags be used.

Jim Boy has always told me it should get processed within 3 days or so.

Sod it I say....unless someone more creative than me comes up with a better design then I say go with the standard tag. Annoying, but ya just can't do much within that height.

 

[Grimreepah]

FINAL UPDATE:

The final sponsorship tags have been put through for processing, so in theory everything should be done. In reality things can go wrong...

1. If the sponsorship tags have not been processed by Monday let me know.

2. If the prizes don't arrive at the expected time let me know.

3. I had a look on the website, and our purchases are still not showing. The money has been taken from my account (Fevola and Black on 01/04/10 and Banfield on 07/04/10). I will ring sometime this week and find out when this will be updated.

I will also post the thankyou letters from the sponsors when the arrive.

Well done everybody and congratulations on 3 fine sponsorship choices. All the relevant information has been updated in the opening post. No doubt Weevil and POBT will say that because I am familiar with the sponsorship process I should do it again next year...

But for now, over and out.

 

[Haggis McHaggis]

Is it too late to submit a couple of options for a Banfield badge? I just did a couple up once ya emailed me & I read the thread Grim.

 

[Grimreepah]

Too late for this year. I would be interested in seeing what you came up with though. Perhaps next year.

 

[Haggis McHaggis]

Just brightened the border up & tried a few different fonts. #2's my fave

Yeah, I think I like the 2nd one too. Is there any chance you could do that one will both orange text and and orange border, and then another with both yellow text and a yellow border? Just to see what it looks like.

If there is overhwelming support for the new tag I guess I could ask admin to change it.

 

[Haggis McHaggis]

Mmmk.. just gotta remember the name of the font. Knew I should've saved the template.

Yeah, i 2nd that. That font looks Simpson-esque.

 

[whatboutbob]

I like the second one too, but again, are they within spec height-wise? They appear to be 17 pixels, whereas the official tags (Mod, Vet, Pt etc) appear to be 15. I know it doesn't sound like much but it makes a significant difference when trying to squish things in. Would be nice if the specs could be confirmed by someone...

I copied the outline from the ones Grim made up, I assume they're OK. Squishing them down wouldn't be hard though.

These are the colour options. The font is called JOAN. God knows where I got it.

I'm still leaning towards the first one in that sequence, but I reckon all ranga looks pretty good too. If you need me to squish it, let me know.

Ed: just checked the Black one already on profiles & it's 17px so it should be sweet.

 

[whatboutbob]

Yeah, I prefer the first one.

The Black tag is 17 pixels but includes two blank rows (thought that was odd enough that it may be deliberate).
