As far as Slutspel goes, pretty much all of our female posters have said they won't use them. For the sake of being inclusive, I'd rather not use Slutspel. It wasn't the most popular theme and it doesn't really fit our roster even - we have two Swedish players on the team. I can easily replace Slutspel with Playoffs for that avy; however we'd have to change font.
Im not a fan of the font that you're using now... The original 0 Year Rebuild font was much nicer...

It could go the 0 Year Rebuild frame then the frame posted with 2012 playoffs in same font... one could be grainy, the other sharp....

Now you've got the right idea.

Are you using photoshop? Is there a way to get the original document so I can try and make adjustments with photoshop once I'm done work? Btw what font is that?

First frame is pretty good. The second one has to much going on IMO.

I think we need three frames. 0 year rebuild, heritage train and playoffs ''believe it''.

I've been using FF District, just by copying it from online sample text images.


Yeah I see your point. Gonna make some adjustments. I'm using GIMP so it's all .xcf files.

As a member of the female gender, I thank you for that.

Mmm. I like the concept. Not sure about the O on the player slide though. Seems unnecessary.

Beautiful!

I really think this design would be liked with everyone.

Also, Manny, we can place your two babes in the second frame instead of Sens players, LOL.

Three problems are:
1. It doesn't incorporate the heritage train theme.
2. The font in the slides aren't the same
3. Slutspel 2012 needs to go

I'll try to work on those problems.

Not to offend anyone, but I think trying to combine 0 Year Rebuild and 1927 Heritage Train won't really work, no matter what is done. They seem far too different to me. I'm not sure it's possible to integrate them without leaving a "jumble-of-different themes" feel to the avatars. Seeing as 0 Year Rebuild won, couldn't we just work off that one theme?

I guess it could be up to the individual to decide what type of picture to put in their 2nd slide.... Reg game pic, heritage fedora pic... etc

If that's the case, I would like the second picture on mine to be Dr Easy's avatar of Jack Nicholson's" We're Baack" with a picture of Alfie looking grim.

Alright, finalized concept:



The concept on the left uses in-game pictures, on the right will be the version that uses heritage train pictures.

In addition to having a choice of players, there is an option of backgrounds:



UPDATE:

Final Quality will look like this to fit filesize constraints:

Much better. The heritage pic actually works well there.

Instead of the background being the red tinted ice with the cup, can we put some Ottawa landmarks and SBP instead. I think it might look better.

Perfect!

Now, can we finally make some avvys for the board to use?

I call Gonch in-game.

The red tinted ice is SBP from the 07 Finals.

I can try to move the logo though so the logo is more obvious, and I can try to create some concepts with the SBP exterior and the Parliament buildings. It may increase filesize too much though.

Like Parliament Hill? That would actually look pretty good.
