EHM The Blue Line

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...

AJP-Score93



AJP-OPC08



AJP-McDonald01


May the best one win

Thanks

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.

Great work on all 3 AJP.

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!!

I'm in your side on this one.

I went with AJP-OPC08, it somehow pleased my eye Maybe it would be even better with some change in the font used in players name?

But anyhoo, they all look good to me!

I would go with OPC08, because you could have problems in McDonalds with longer player names.

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.

Im excited for the template

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.



Thanks
Andyjayp

IMO i love the card with the team canada logo on it.. it looks awesome man.. keep up the great work

That McDonald card is looking really slick with the logos now. While I still like the team colors, the home country ones are more practical, IMO.

For the OPC08 cards, I definitely don't like the font on the center card. The one on the right is probably best.

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.

The Canada one is the best

Awesome work!

with the Team canada logo and the extendable name bar i change my mind and vote for the McDonald one.

AJP-McDonald01 is a real eye candy.

If you could make a template for the McDonald cards, I'll update my Swedish Packs using it. (If I ever can get time off from working on the DB...)

McDonald is where it's at. Nice work AJP.

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.
