Hopefully I named the thread correctly and people know whats going on.
So as Lidas' new DB is secheduled for release in the fall, I thought I would design some new facepack cards (based on real sets) and start a poll to see which ones, if any you users of TBL would like to see in facepacks of the future.
So the plan is to do facepacks in the TBL style along with the winning style of the poll.
So down to the cards, each one has a dual and single picture...
I went for AJP-OPC08. I'm not a fan of the players name being down the left hand side like in AJP-McDonald01. And i think AJP-Score93. Is plain and simple, just too plain and simple.
I really like the design on the AJP-McDonald01 one. I actually like the name going up the side like that. While I like the way the team colored are used, I know players move around quite a bit. What about using the home nation's colors instead?

I went with the same one.. I like the idea of the name at the side... the other ones look too plain for me but good job nonetheless

Hmm... Never really thought of that. That is a good idea. If it is the winning style I think I'll use the country colours rather than using the team colours.
Thanks for the good words everyone. I apprecate it!!

Hey and after we voted could you give me a Template so i can help with the german pictures?
Sure. If you want it. I'll also write you a detailed guide of how to use it, depending on which template wins.
On the subject of longer player names, you could extend the name bar. Which I had to do when I tested out the original card design with german players.

After reading what people have said about the card designs, I have slightly modded the AJP-MacDonald01 and AJP-OPC08 cards. As I think most people like these cards the most.
AJP-McDonald01
Ok so here I thought it would be a cool idea to include the team logo. So one includes the teams logo and team colours, in the case of Simon Gagne it would be the Philadelphia Flyers, whilst the other card shares simular properties but using the players country of origin i.e. Canada.
AJP-OPC08
With this card, I thought I would just change the font the players name is in.

Yeah. I agree that the Nations Flag is the way forward. Most players change team within the first season anyway. So having the team logo is a bit pointless.

Awesome. I'll release a template once I have cleaned it up a bit, and written a guide of how to use it. Thanks for offering to do Sweeden it would be help that is greatly appreciated.
On the subject of the DB, I should be starting to do the rosters soon.

Can't wait for the Template. I'll tackle the last couple of NHL Entry Drafts.
