AHL & ECHL Alt Logo Sets & Alt Rinks

Post by Minstrel »

I was going to rework the ECHL logos to compensate for some people losing logos in the update process for the new teams and then I figured I may as well rework the AHL logos too. :nerd: Then I figured no point in stopping there so I also am working up alternate 'away' logos and ices for both leagues. 8-)

So, that's how a quick project ends up taking a week or so but I should have all four sets available Monday; but at the latest mid-week :joy:

Like my NHL Alt Logos Project it's a complete replace for your large logos folder. I'm recreating the default logos to maximize the logos size and clarity. Then when it comes to gameday the away team will diplay an alternate look logo in the titlepanel and the home team will have an alternate look of their logo at center ice.

I say "alternate look" because very few AHL/ECHL teams have official 3rd/alt logos; but the 'alt' look will be something different than the main logo :thup: Some are other graphics from team memorobilia, web site images, images from team wallpaper downloads, a few shoulder patch logos, and a few are logos teams used prior to their current logo or any other assorted web-search findings :tiptap: All that searching has been about 75% of the time on this one actually; but I'm sure the time invested will be worth it as the sets will be really cool :thup:

I fixed my own ECHL logos, but I'm gonna have a look at my AHL ones to fill in the blanks.

Sounds like a great idea and it should turn out great, just like all your other stuff.

PS: Any updates on the team specific skins for your Chrome skin?

I've completed all of the time-consuming portions of these projects now I just have to process them and get things properly named etc. I should be able to take care of that portion soon; I'd love to say tonight but I'll be safe and say definitely by mid-week. I'll let everyone know :thup: It's quite the project, many teams actually will have different alternate logos on their rinks and in their match titlebars actually :joy: Can you dig it? I knew that ya could :breakin:

Okay the AHL Gameday Logos and AHL Gameday Rinks sets are now available!

Compiled screenshots showing a handful or so of each type: Alt Logos and Alt Rink Ices

So with these two every AHL team has an alternate 'away' logos for gamedays and new alternate rink ices for use in your home games. It also includes a completely new set of main AHL logos resized and reworked for maximum size and clarity.

Make sure you grab both files! Some teams I have set up to actually have three logos; their main logo an alternate 'away' logo and another alternate logo on their rink ices!

I have the same setup for all the ECHL teams that will be released soon; stay tuned :-D

Time for the Official Announcementâ„¢ of this project being completed! Both my AHL and ECHL alternate logos and rink ices sets are availlable for download!!

The ECHL set includes ECHL Gameday Logos and ECHL Gameday Rinks sets; now available at the above links!

Here's direct links if you'd like to check out screenshots showing a smapling of each set: Alt Logos and Alt Rink Ices

So with these two every ECHL team has an alternate 'away' logo for gamedays and new alternate rink ices for use in your home games. It also includes a completely new set of main ECHL logos resized and reworked for maximum size and clarity.

Make sure you grab both files! Some teams I have set up to actually have three logos; their main logo an alternate 'away' logo and another alternate logo on their rink ices!

Check out the install files that come with the AHL and ECHL sets and it has a full rundown of what logos were used; as you can see this gives you a lot of great new looks, between the two sets there are 28 teams that have three different logos in their respective set, using one for the main titlepanel image, one for the 'away' image and a third for the team's home ice. Here's the combined descriptions for both sets:

Key:
3rd: Logo From 3rd Jersey (often created from shoulder logos)
Patch: Shoulder Patch Logo
WWW: Other Web Graphic (often from merchandise or wallpaper files)
V: Previous Logo / Vintage
RW: Reworked with a better logo source or done with a light outline to work better on a dark background

If the main logos were just cleaned up I didn't make a mention of that in the notes; I recreated all the logos from my sources. Also, if the same logo is used for the rink and the gameday logo there will be no note about the rink file.

AHL Main Logo Changes:

Albany River Rats - Large Blocked Logo (since it's a very difficult logo to get large enough)
Bridgeport Sound Tigers - RW
Chicago Wolves - RW
Grand Rapids Griffins - RW
Hamilton Bulldogs - RW
Hartford Wolf Pack - Another diffiuclt one to get at a readable size so it now uses just the head from the alt logo used for the rink.
Hershey Bears - RW
Houston Aeros - New Old Logo
Iowa Stars - RW with a WWW logo
Lowell Lock Monsters - RW
Manchester Monarchs - Logo Only Version
Manitoba Moose - New Logo
Milwaukee Admirals - Logo Only Version
Norfolk Admirals - RW
Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights - RW I resized the logo and text separately alllowing each to be larger
Peoria Rivermen - RW
Philadelphia Phantoms - Logo Only Version
Providence Bruins - Logo Only Version
Rochester Americans - RW white outlined so the text doesn't disappear
Springfield Falcons - another tough logo to get at any size so I used this logo from their 10th Anniversary Logo.
Syracuse Crunch
Toronto Marlies - Given the blue background I switched to use the mainly white logo they use on their dark jerseys

Alternate Logo:

Albany River Rats - WWW
Binghamton Senators - WWW
Bridgeport Sound Tigers - Patch
Chicago Wolves - 3rd: 'Armed Forces' Logo used on alternate camo jersey honoring the US Armed Forces.
Cleveland Barons - 3rd/Patch
Grand Rapids Griffins - 3rd: logo using Detroit Red Wing Colors
Hamilton Bulldogs - WWW Taken from 10th Anniv Logo wallpaper
Hartford Wolf Pack - Main Logo
Hershey Bears - 3rd/Patch logo
Houston Aeros - The previously used F16 logo
Iowa Stars - Their main logo
Lowell Lock Monsters - Patch
Manchester Monarchs - 3rd/Patch Logo
Manitoba Moose - V: Previous Logo
Milwaukee Admirals - Alternate look; only has logo and 'Admirals' without the team location added.
Norfolk Admirals - V: Previous Logo
Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights - Logo Only Version
Peoria Rivermen - A Minstrel back to the future special; this is a vintage logo I update to the current blue and gold coloring. Before affiliatiion with St. Louis they used red for the captains gloves and steering wheel. So it's both a vintage and new logo I guess...
Philadelphia Phantoms - Large blocked version of the patch image used for the rink file since the logo is so tall and skinny this was the best option here.
Portland Pirates - logo of the white bearded pirate from their white jerseys; blocked version since holding a stick makes the logo three times as wide as tall
Providence Bruins - Full team name plus logo
Rochester Americans - WWW: non-official alternate logo
San Antonio Rampage - WWW altenate skull & crossbones logo from a team wallpaper
Springfield Falcons - Full team name plus logo
Syracuse Crunch - V: previous superhero logo
Toronto Marlies - This is the dark version of the logo as seen on their white jerseys.
Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins - Logo Only Version

Alternate Rink Logo:

Albany River Rats - Main Logo with Special Coloring Taken from 10th Anniv Logo
Bridgeport Sound Tigers - Main Logo with added NY Islanders colors
Hartford Wolf Pack - Wolfpack 3rd Logo/Patch
Houston Aeros - This was the logo they'd used before changing to the F16 logo but they are using this 'Bomber Logo' as their main logo again now so it's both a vintage logo and the current main logo for the team.
Lowell Lock Monsters - WWW it's actually the same logo as in the their main logo but not on a background and holding the stick/posed a bit differently.
Manchester Monarchs - Full team name plus logo
Manitoba Moose - New full team name plus logo
Milwaukee Admirals - Full team name plus logo
Norfolk Admirals - Third Jersey logo used on a dark blue jersey the same shade as the logo background; worn once a year for charity game worn jersey auction
Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights - WWW: Full team name plus logo; also with additional large sword logo
Philadelphia Phantoms - Patch; yes that's Phlex the superhero that wears the Phantom mask... but you knew that already right? :-P
Portland Pirates - Full size version of the logo used for the alternate logo
Toronto Marlies - A version of the white logo taken from a WWW wallpaper file
Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins - Logo Only version with additional tie in to Pittsburgh's yellow and black scheme.
