EHM The Blue Line

I've just made available on the server a two-part project I've been working on.

It's a combination of logos and rinks for the NHL that give you alternate team logos on gameday in your match screens. When you have both installed you will see the away team's alt logo in the titlebar and the home team's alt 'under' center ice. It's a fun change from staring at the same logos over and over on every screen.

You will still see the standard logos on your team pages but I have reworked those images (most noticably without the darn â„¢ marks ). Some images are clearer especially San Jose and Tampa Bay and for example Minnesota was made with a logo including the team name while mine was made from just the logo resulting in a much larger logo.

There are two Tampa Ices included, the default has the 2004 Stanely Cup Champions logo and the 'alt' file has the same logo used for their alternate titlebar logo. You can use whichever you prefer by renaming the one you want to use to just 'Tampa Bay Lightning.png'

Here's a direct link to check out the screenshot:

I've been testing the alternate logos and rinks for about a week now and I love them! It's such a refreshing change not to see the same old standard team logos on the ice. As is seeing a different logo for the road teams.

My goodness...the alternative logos project is one of the best things ever in EHM's life, and i am not exaggerating. Compliments and credits for the concept

Just a quick note, you'll notice we now have corresponding alternate logo avatars available in the avatar Gallery as well; nice work Arch!

Also, be sure you have downloaded both the rinks set and the logos set for the full effect! The logos give you the away team's alternate logo in the titlebar, and the ices set give you the alternate logo for the home team at center ice. They're a ying and yang project

I do prefer the normal logos for the rinks!
But the alternate logo pack is stunning fantastic
Chapeau

You do realize they are the same logos used for both the rinks/ices and the logos though right?

In any case you can also mix and match if you'd like This is easiest to do with the logos, if there is a particular alt logo you'd rather have displayed on your team page as well just copy the version from the 'away' subfolder and use it as the logo in your National Hockey League folder too. Both are named the same. If you'd rather use a standard logo instead of an alt logo in your match titlebars just drag a copy of the logo in your National Hockey League folder into the 'away' folder in place of the one currently there.

Here's another little tip... with this set you can also pick out any image, and use a copy of it to replace the nhlpa.png file found in logos/comps/large. Rename your file to nhlpa.png and on your titlebar screens when you get the NHL shield on the left and the NHLPA logo on the right you will now get your chosen logo on the right instead I have the vintage Hawks logo in mine and it allows me to play the game without thinking about the lockout every time I check standings.
