EHM The Blue Line

I've tried creating logos for some of the teams in my game, but can't make it look right. They appear in the game, but are either way too big, way too small, or surrounded by a stupid white box.

I've brought back a few old teams that have moved (Quebec, Winnipeg etc) and I'd really like to put their logos in the game to make a touch more real.

Any help would be gretly appreciated!

Welcome to TBL!

To help with your logos, the first question I'd have to ask is what graphics software are you using? To make things look smooth in-game takes a bit more than Microsoft Paint unfortunetly! What teams did you say you were intested in? I have a bunch of old logos on my comp and I could easily make them to size for you, that way you could just install them in the proper directories. Cool?

Again, welcome and feel free to ask as many questions as you like! Also, we usually ask when you started playing EHM and what led to you to TBL! Thanks for joining!

Cheers mate.

***AHHH...and Minty beats me to the punch!

Sorry just missed that post! I don't think I have anything here more sophisticated than MS paint

I'm trying to make logos for Hartford, Quebec, Winnipeg, Minnesota North Stars and just about any other old time logo I can get my hands on.

crosby87: first of all, welcome to TBL

You won't be able to do good things with MS paint, i'm afraid...

And if you don't have money to spend in Paintshop Pro or stuff like this, try GIMP, which is a good freeware used by some of our graphic workers

I don't remember the link, but i guess someone will post it here soon for you

Hope that helps

Thanks!

I'm pretty dumb when it comes to doing anything with an art program which is pretty much why I'm here...

Don't worry You'll find a lot of competent graphics guys around here that will help you

ElQuapo exlpained in another thread on how to get GIMP working so all credit to him for this:

http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

First install the GTK+ 2 Runtime Environment and then install GIMP itself.

Otherwise, if you have any requests, I'm sure there's someone who will be willing to help you

Thanks everyone here, I know I'm a pain in the ass but I'm just no good at it!

No worries We're here to help those who need

Bleh I can't do it, I'll just have to ask Catchup to do it for me

I've downloaded that gimp program, and I have no idea how to work it! Help!

Anyone know where I can find a tutorial for making logos with photoshop cs?

Same here I'll be happy to do it myself with gimp if someone would tell me how...

okay, I'm a little foggy here, what part of the screen are these logos on that you guys want? news items? backgrounds? I can make a bunch to size if you give me the sizes and teams you need. word? word.

cheers.

Team logos for me, former teams like Quebec, Hartford & Winnipeg, aswell as some old logos like the Buffalo head etc.

I'm not looking for backgrounds or anything else!

Any progress with these yet?

workin on em champ. I'll post em when they're done. 2-3 days.

cheers.
