Okay... the NHL.com vector logos look superb... but they're NHL.com logos which suit well for the NHL.com interface. ESPN version should not use NHL.com graphics.

Here's how they look in the official site. Those logos are easy to grab but they look really sloppy and dirty in our 800x600 low res interface.

So I had to make my own, much cleaner ones.

But then again the NHL.com logos look amazing as well.

Which ones you want? Don't vote for change just because you want to see new logos... people often make stupid changes just for the sake of it... but vote which ones are more appropriate and better looking. It's a HUGE job to recreate all logos for all leagues.

I would like to see those logos on the Play Now screen, but keep the NHL.com pogs as they are. Thats why I voted for both. The new logos on the Play Now screen would give the interface a little more colour IMO

If they could be made into rounded rectangles like on ESPN, I'd be all for it.

The rounded edges indeed look great. Good catch.

I know that's not how ESPN.com does it, but I'd like to see an LA Kings logo with a silver background instead.

Same. Looks better in my opinion, as I think the purple kind of clashes with the black/white/silver color scheme.

Yeah guys... but that color is the assigned team color for the Kings. If I change it to silver, I'll spend the next week changing it from the GameCast, Torfs, color bars, etc. And I'm not going to use different theme color in one place... that'd be really half-assed.

It'd be a HUGE job.

It's actually an old theme color as they primarily use the black & silver now everywhere. Same for Tampa. They don't use grey anymore. But that's how those colors been assigned.

ESPN still uses the old grey color, too.

Yeah... pretty boring.

All teams are wearing the same colors soon... as the article says.

Do you want the main screen logos to be like this?

Kinda breaks the cyan/green/blue ESPN theme color don't you think?

I say just keep the logos without the backgrounds for the team selection, if that is possible even without altering the backgrounds elsewhere.

Here are the new logos. Please test them and let me know what you think.

Extract to \fe\nhl\images2\logos

and overwrite the old ones.

If you don't like these, simply re-extract the logos folder from the interface package.

@Bagel: If you remove the backgrounds entirely, the logo edges will be white from dirty transparency dots. Removing background works only on white underlayer when you're dealing with low-res graphics.

They are without backgrounds in the NHL interface and that's not acceptable in the official version. It's not anyone's fault... it's just that 800x600 resolution has its limits. That problem wouldn't catch the eye if we had, say 1280 x 1024.

NHL.com Interface
[ *  *  *  * ]
I liked the new style with rounded edges. Although I think the NHL.com one looks great on the ESPN as well, to me it gives kind of a "new blood" to the ESPN Interface.
Just a suggestion, trent, if I may, make the logos a little smaller inside the block, just to have a little bit of clearance from the edges. Just a design perspective.
But definitely the Game Setup logos should be kept cyan.
