GET
YOUR TEAM LOGO POSTED ON...
YOUR TEAM PAGE+YOUR DIVISION PAGE+YOUR STATS PAGES
WE'LL
EVEN
(on
occasion)
SCROLL IT ACROSS THE TOP OF EVERY PAGE!
HERE'S
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO...
**
ALL LOGOS MUST
ADHERE TO THE SPECIFICATIONS LISTED BELOW!
NO EXCEPTIONS!
If you send in a logo that does not adhere to the rules below, it will
be rejected. You will receive an email from SiteGuy stating that you
need to follow the instructions found here.
DO
NOT REPLY TO THE EMAIL WITH QUESTIONS AS TO WHY YOUR LOGO WAS REJECTED!
Simply follow the instructions posted here (like hundreds of teams have
done), and your logo will be accepted.
ATTENTION!
WE'VE
RECEIVED AND REJECTED MANY LOGO SUBMISSIONS THAT ARE OF VERY POOR
QUALITY. IF THE LOGO YOU'RE
ABOUT TO SEND IS OF POOR QUALITY (THIS MEANS BLURRY, MESSY, SUPER-LOW
RESOLUTION, ETC.), IT WILL BE REJECTED! ALSO, IF YOUR LOGO IS ON
A COLOUR OTHER THAN 100% BLACK (THIS INCLUDES YOUR LOGO ON A NON-BLACK
BACKGROUND THAT CONTRASTS WITH 100% BLACK!). Please see the following
examples of logos that were rejected. (no offense to the teams
that submitted them!)
DO
NOT SEND LOGOS LIKE THE FOLLOWING LOGOS!!...
This
logo is
NOT on a 100% black background!
This logo is
NOT on a 100% black background and if the white was removed, it would still be
rejected because the mustard background is not really a part of the logo.
This logo is NOT on a 100% black background and if the white was removed, it
would still be rejected because the log wouldn't contrast enough with the
background. If a white (or light coloured) glow or stroke was added, it would
be accepted.
This logo is
a mess. To be accepted the white would need to be removed and a white (or light
coloured) glow or stroke would need to be added.
1.
All logos will be displayed on 100% black. Therefore, make sure that
they stand-out from a black background. Any logo submitted with a
background other than 100% black will be rejected.
2.
We need 2 sizes! - THAT MEANS, IF
YOU ONLY SEND 1 LOGO, IT WILL BE REJECTED! That also means, don't
send more than 2 logos. Just send what is requested here. We do
not have time to select the best logo of the logos you send.
A:
LARGE - to
be used on your team page
WIDTH
= 250 PIXEL MAXIMUM!
HEIGHT = 250 PIXEL MAXIMUM!
PLEASE
CROP YOUR LOGO TO THE SMALLEST SIZE POSSIBLE. THAT MEANS...
IF YOUR LOGO IS 250 PIXELS IN HEIGHT AND ONLY 20 PIXELS WIDE,
DO NOT SEND IT TO US 250 PIXELS IN WIDTH!
*
NOTE: A CONTRASTING OUTER "GLOW" HAS BEEN ADDED TO THIS
LOGO. IF YOUR LOGO IS BLACK, YOU MUST ADD EITHER A CONTRASTING
"GLOW" OR "STROKE". |

B:
SMALL -
to be used everywhere else
WIDTH
= 250 PIXEL MAXIMUM!
HEIGHT = 85 PIXEL MAXIMUM!
PLEASE
CROP YOUR LOGO TO THE SMALLEST SIZE POSSIBLE. THAT MEANS...
IF YOUR LOGO IS 85 PIXELS IN HEIGHT AND ONLY 20 PIXELS WIDE,
DO NOT SEND IT TO US 250 PIXELS IN WIDTH! If you do, guess what?
Yup... rejection!!
*
NOTE: NO CONTRASTING OUTER "GLOW" OR
"STROKE" WAS REQUIRED TO SEPARATE THIS LOGO FROM THE
BLACK BACKGROUND. |

GRAPHIC FORMAT: WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING ONLY .GIF 'OPTIMIZED FOR THE
WEB'! ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER FILE FORMATS WILL BE ACCEPTED!
4.
IF THE QUALITY OF YOUR LOGO IS POOR, IT WILL NOT BE USED. IF YOU DO
NOT ADHERE TO THE ABOVE DIMENSIONS and FORMATS, YOUR LOGO WILL BE REJECTED.
5.
DO NOT SUBMIT LOGOS WITH ANY SORT OF DESIGNER CREDIT, WEB SITE INFO OR
OTHER INFO AS A PART OF THE GRAPHIC. ONLY SUBMIT YOUR ACTUAL TEAM
LOGO, NAME OR COMBINATION OF BOTH.
6.
DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING DEMAND BY TEAMS TO HAVE THEIR LOGOS DISPLAYED,
LOGOS WILL BE CHANGED REGULARILY ON THE SCROLLING WINDOW AT THE TOP
OF OUR WEB PAGES. THERE IS NO SET SCHEDULE FOR THIS SO PLEASE DON'T
DEMAND TO HAVE YOUR LOGO DISPLAYED ON A CERTAIN DATE.

logo, and you want it used this season, please make that request

YOUR TEAM PLAYED IN LAST SEASON.
DO
NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE THE INFORMATION REQUIRED IN NUMBERS 6, 7, AND
8 ABOVE FOR THIS SEASON!

SORRY FOR BEING SUCH A JERK ABOUT THESE RULES AND SPECIFICATIONS.
I RECEIVE ABSOLUTE CRAP EVERY DAY FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT TAKEN
THE TIME TO READ THE SPECIFICATIONS CLEARLY POSTED ABOVE. Some teams
send 4 or 5 versions of their logo and expect me to critique which
one is best suited for the site. Some only send one logo and expect
me to modify it to fit on the site.
