New Large Helmet Logos

[keithisgood]

I gave myself wiggle room if Miami goes with a logo different than the rumored one. There's space in the hex to alter the tiles and then re-write their logo if need be. Getting most everything done early gives us time to fine tune things as we get closer to September.

Great updates! This thread is a beacon to noobs passing by who think they can't make an impact from the get-go of their becoming a member. Great shit, Keith.

[keithisgood]

Just happy to help.

I took a few minutes to do a Jaguars mini helmet. I dont know if you guys want to use it for the base ROM or not. Thanks to AdamB500 for the idea. I've included the updated zip file.

Looks good!

I've updated the link at the top of the thread to include this.

 

Perhaps if we're going to update more of the mini helmets, we should start a new thread?

New Thread Started for mini-helmets

I edited the title of this thread. Hope you don't mind, Keith. Looking to differentiate it from the Mini Helmet thread.

[keithisgood]

Eventually we'll probably have to start a "New MISC Graphics" Thread as well for the intros, etc.

I've had others suggest the same thing. I agree they can be garish but I kept them in the spirit of the original tecmo feel. But if the consensus is that the sun spots can be done away with, I'm all for it.

It's so funny, because I'm totally with you on this logic. I have no strong feelings about the sun spots either way. I agree entirely with your sentiment from the above statement. But I'm totally open to removing them, ultimately. The sun spots have always kind of been that one thing to denote three dimensionality to me in the large helmets.

I believe that the only helmets that don't have sunspots (on the original 28-team) are the "white" helmets.

[keithisgood]

I think the single-stripe helmet template (the one with sunspots) should probably stay unchanged.

 

The helmets that can lose some of the extra highlights are the double-striped helmets which add sunspots with sprite tiles (Dallas, New Orleans, Green Bay). Also, the sunlight effect on STL's helmet is too much; the difference between $18 (the main horn) and $28 is off putting. Maybe make the main horn $28 and the sunspot part of the horn $38? This is what it looks like:

OLD                                                            NEW

NE and DEN can be done; it would be a simple matter of changing which base helmet they use.

 

DET, SF and CAR all use the double-stripe helmet template (which doesn't include sunshine); putting sunshine on them would require the addition of sprite tiles. There's plenty of extra tiles in the second bank where CAR and the other expansion teams draw their tiles from. If we swapped DET into that bank as well, there would probably be enough leftover tiles to put sunshine on every helmet. It would be a bit of work but it certainly can be done.

 

I think it's worth the work; going through the original tecmo super bowl game, every helmet has sunshine except the white helmets. I'd like to keep that continuity with the original game.

Added some sunshine to NE, DEN, CAR and DET. Color palette limitations mean the only color available for shine on SF's helmet is white; contrasted on their dark gold helmet, I found the sunshine looked garish and took it out. I guess SF is just too cool for school that way.

This appears to be the official leaked logo for the dolphins.

[keithisgood]

Yeah, saw that. Looks like the logo we have only needs to be tweaked a bit. I'll go ahead and change the colors to match this pic. I'll wait until they unveil the logo to do any other work; sometimes the jersey patches face a different way from the helmet logo. 

[keithisgood]

Dolphins confirmed the new logo as offical, so I've updated the helmet to show. 

 

Version 1.0                                                   Version 2.0

     

 

The rumor is also that they're going to change the facemask to white (which would suggest a change of helmet color as well), so I've left some wiggle room in case this logo needs to be outlined in white. Updated the dropbox file at the top of the thread.

Can't wait to debate this design 400x

 

[GameplayLoop]

Whaaaaaa? Is this legit? This is, like, arena football-style.

It's actually this one:

Yes, totally legit. lol

This is kind of terrifying.

[COA Elway]

This is kind of terrifying.

It'll be easier to get the background. Color 28 indeed!! Easier than the green metallic look.

[keithisgood]

Any suggestions on how (or even if) to handle that color gradient? Use the Bengals template and set one color to 28 and one to 18?
