    Can we just rip off HBO. I am not an intellectual property specialist, I don't know if fair use or whatever is applicable. Maybe something like below tweeked for each team/user.

    Glad you took me up on my opinion :)

    This is my view from the outside looking in (and I look in my fair share)

    • I see a group of members here that aren't here just to have fun. They are NFL junkies who love football and are here not only to have fun, but compete in a serious manner. Owners take real pride in their organizations to play the best and manage the best in the offseason, build a winning organization.
    • It's very organized and operates like a real well-run business
    • The league management is elite...member communication (scheduling, banter) is elite
    • League Endurance is elite....what 6 seasons?
    • Your forums are lively
    So how does that all come off to me?
    • HK is the platinum standard
    • Bold and Demanding
    • Cutting edge, 20th century...but at the same time established..planting deep roots for years to come (you hope)
    • There will be other Madden Leagues (you would think, non premier), but you will stand apart

    So I think if you agree you should take these comments and say to yourself does this meet the standard or looks we have been posting? Alot of them look 'gamish' to me....I think you should move away from that personally. Like most Veteran Leagues on TSO, especially the elite leagues (there aren't that many) you have a mature group.


    I think something bold, very professional, and at the same time SIMPLE stands out (not a logo with a bunch of things going on around it). I think the New HK Logo should be taken seriously, it will be shown in every post in your Premier Signatures. You want ppl to say hey that looks sharp, professional, corporate, and engaging...because that is what you really are IMO.

    You are a sophisticated league for mature adult gamers and you want to appeal in that fashion to prospectors scouring your league for the first time.

    Hard Knocks is what every other Madden League should strive to be like. I feel exactly the same for the TMFL, but the PS3 trumps those bitch ass MF'ers (what a bunch of arrogant asses huh? :))

    And FWIW, it's the reason why we changed our logo in the Crop, we tossed out the kiddish look for something as a collective group we felt was more professional and serious.

    Anyway, that's just one man's opinion from my vantage point.

    That post is so full of "win," I don't know where to start. Gonna have to break that one down line by line at some point. And, I totally agree with you David. Something bold and simple. Big metallic looking "Hard Knocks" or something like that. Bold enough where those unfamiliar do not immediately know what it is, but know it is probably bad ass.

    Just wanted to throw this one back out there, I think it's sleek, not cartoony and has a very professional look. It promotes are league and TSO.

    I like this if you add more styling to the font and some font treatment

    Am I the only one that thinks this looks like the colors and logo from the Keanu Reaves football movie as a scab?

    It is similar. Now I'm just wondering why you remember logos from crappy movies made over a decade ago.

    Same reason I can rattle off the starting lineup for the 1984 Cubs,, the entire defense of the 85 bears, I can name every super bowl winner since '80 in order, Im the king of useless sports/movie/tv trivia.

    SteamboatReb can confirm.

    Much like myself, lawdog is a bit of a savant and a repository for all sorts detailed information when it comes to sports and movies. I am a jersey number and a wrestling specialist.
