No I'm afraid not. Just one folder for team logos and another for competition logos. Although I personally think this makes things easier because it means you don't have to rename folders if a league name changes or if a team switches leagues.
Okay! Thanks for the answer. So all "retro" logos will be there too I guess. One more question, will the graphics be pretty much the same as in EHM, different sized of logos. Team/nation backgrounds? If that's the case I'll probably start doing some fancy logos and backgrounds for the game (as many others will probably do too).
No - retro logos will go in a separate folder. I'm going to start working on a historical NHL pack for the historic mode in FHM shortly.
There aren't any different sized logos. They're all a single size (150px x 150px - but they don't have to be a perfect square). The game resizes them automatically according to the screen you're viewing.
In regards to the 150 x 150, I think they do have to be square. There are a few screens that stretch the logo vertically, namely the player profile and the boxscore screens. Noticeably rectangular logos like that of the Canadiens and Flyers are good examples. This seems to be further supported by OOTP Baseball's logos, which are all 150 x 150.
Of course, this could just be a bug in the "OOTP code" (and thus the port to FHM), and the OOTP logo makers were just compensating... because in FHM, these few rectangular logos aren't stretched in all cases. In most places, they're fine, but a few stretch them to a square.

The above is where I found it.
Thanks for that. Prior to yesterday's release, the installation folder was 2013. I'll update the readme for the next release.

I'll report this as a bug. There's a similar annoyance on the standings screen whereby all of the logos are left aligned rather than centre aligned.
I tried this pack with the previous beta and it worked fine. 0.9.9 doesn't seem to be working though, I copied over the folders and go to start a new game and... well... nothing, it still has the gray placeholder ones. Any ideas why? I'm at a complete loss: the path has not changed again it looks like.
EDIT: NEVERMIND,I'm a moron. I forgot that the data paths for the install don't count and it *actually* saves them under My Documents\Out of the Park Developments\Franchise Hockey Manager\data
That's confusing, I still don't know why it's structured that way. Why the redundancy?
Hey Archi, here's Suomi-Sarja and A-Nuorten SM-Liiga team logos.. those U20 logos are mostly just renamed logos from your logo pack. Also comp logos for rest of missing Finnish leagues and updated Lukko Rauma logo.
I'm still looking for better quality logos for Diskos and Bewe-TuusKi and there seems to be this new Orange Salmon Heads JHT Kalajoki's logo, but I can't find it anywhere.
If I have time I'm posting more missing Finnish logos after Eastern.
heh...i finished the suomi sarja during the weekend...but i wanted to go through the existing logos before i send the updated pack to you, archi...there are some old logos i know of in the pack...

Here's reworked Bewe-TuusKi logo with better quality. Remove '2' front of the old logo name if you are overwriting existing one. I forgot that number in there 'cos I had couple of different versions stored.
So I downloaded this (awesome work btw) and install to the Majors file in my documents, and I am still getting the generic logos..i am sure I probably messed up somewhere but can someone please help

Did you create the saved game before you installed the logos? If so, you will need to add the logos to your saved game too (each saved game makes a new copy of the logos). So you will also need to install the logos to: <<My Documents>>\Out of the Park Developments\Franchise Hockey Manager 2014\data\saved_games\<<Saved game name>>.lg\graphics\

i have issue with kharkivski akuly kharkiv (ukraine) logo not showing up - in the drop down menu it is written in this way: kharkivs'ki akuly kharkiv and there seems to be number nine (9) in uppercase on the team screen instead of apostrophe (')
btw the letter "š" is showing up on team screen like "w´" but in drop down menu it is OK...i was searching for some bug reporting over at ootp forum but couldn't find one...not sure if it was pointed out yet but if you would be so kind and let them know archi...thanks
