Blackshirt Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Thanks to eliot for reminding me that the board is in need of it's own "logo/emblem". So Im turning to our talented members once again, b/c I know you'd do a much better job than me. Requirements (more may be posted as I think of them): *Image size should be no bigger than 100x100 & no larger than 20 KB. *Include some type of reference to HuskerBoard -- could be full name or even initials "HB" -- a symbol that makes you think of Huskerboard when you see it *Does not have to include red -- black & white would work *Should be a design that looks professional & represents the nature of the board, i.e. a "sports feel" *Should be something that would look good on a t-shirt or letterhead *Of course it needs to be original Any other ideas for "requirements" or questions feel free to post them. Deadline: Post entries in this thread. Submissions will be accepted until Oct 29. Prize: Winner earns $10 Huskerboard bucks, redeemable at Huskergear.com. Voting by our members will determine the winner. Lets see what you got. Link to comment
Nigel87 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Are we able to use the Huskers logo or N? Or is that copyright infringement on NU? Link to comment

homie19 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 my first go at it, i can edit this alot more, just did this in a few minutes and thought i'd post it for what you think.... i could do just the "HB" if needed too... thoughts? (the "N" on the bg was just me typin an "N" no logo was used) EDIT: some more Can lower the opacity of the "n" if needed Link to comment
Nigel87 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'm not sure if lots of color is wanted or kind of monotone. Link to comment
eliot1171 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 First, Great creations both Nigel and Homie. Heres my first two. ^I can make the background transparent but I just got lazy.^ Link to comment
Blackshirt Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Wow, already great work in only a couple hrs! Im impressed as usual. To answer the questions -- eliot is right, any trademarked logos & terms owned by UNL (stuff you see on shirts etc) are not usable. However, using a standard "Collegiate-style" "N" similar to what Nebraska uses is okay (like homie did). It's such a general & widely used font, that it's unlikely it would be deemed as infringement, as long as it isnt EXACTLY the same as the main block logo displayed on the field. Maybe use a font similiar to the N on the helmets. Keep up the good work! Link to comment

Blackshirt Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 can we use gradients? I see some people already did Sure. But we may also need a version w/out to make it easier for t-shirt printing. Link to comment
