Playoff Avatars/GDT's

[PredsV82]

Haven't seen any discussion of this yet. I have always been somewhat meh about playoff avatars but I know they have been popular in the past. I don't know if we still have posters with the graphics skills to create them but I thought I'd start a thread for discussion to give us a week or so to come up with something if desired.

Also, I'd like to nominate Jonesy to do our playoff GDTs again this year if he's willing and able. He did a great job last year.

I know several posters have had long win streaks in the regular season and the recent bare bones GDTs have had success, but as most of you know, in the playoffs, the home teams GDT gets put on the main board, and thus has to meet minimum content requirements. Obviously I'm not the board parliamentarian and so this isn't gospel just a starting point for discussion.

We didn't do them last year and it went well?

As was mentioned, I'm more concerned about having good playoff GDTs than I am playoff avatars. Easy for me to say though because I can't make any good ones.

Yeah I'm fine with no avatar theme... just wanted to get discussion going

 

[Preds Partisan]

Jonesy is doing the GDTs.

We have spoken.

 

[nine_inch_fang]

Still have mine from a few years back. Haha

9", Seeing yours reminds me the new boards don't support .gif avatars, which may be why nobody seems to be doing much as far as playoff designs this year...

 

[nine_inch_fang]

Didn't realize that, so no more Ekholm....booo

Avatars blue and gold with the words "Just F#$%!@% Win", there done. Simple, and gets the point across.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

yes to jonesey and the GDTs if he has time. top notch quality.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Victory or death.

Simple and provocative.

 

[Jonesey]

It’s been spoken. I’ll work on some stuff when I get back from Augusta.

The Masters, give us a full report when you get back.

 

[Gnashville]

No playoff Avatars ever again

 

[PredsV82]

If we had the multipanel avatars I was going to suggest a take on "They Live"

First panel: player
Second panel: "...is all out of Bubblegum"
Third panel: logo

 

[Jonesey]

The Masters, give us a full report when you get back.

Just going to the practice round tomorrow. I’m so pumped!

That's on my bucket list. Gotta wait until my little ones are a good bit older though

Man I hope you got to see Nicklaus grandson get the ace in the par 3!!!

I got to see the ball go in the hole. We were on the rope at the 7th green. Got to see Finau’s ace.

I am massively jealous....

[Jonesey]

his ankle though

Yeah that was nasty to watch. Looks like he’s going to play today though.

I had a former co-worker who grew up in Augusta and it was pretty crazy to hear some of the stuff that goes on there during Masters week.

Animated GIF avatars are supported; it's just that all the ones that already existed at the time of the changeover had their animation frames discarded. Existing ones are broken, but new ones are just fine.

If you want to see an example, take a look at the playoff avatars the Lightning fans are sporting.

Yeah I noticed this in the playoffs board thread but I'm guessing we eschew avatars just like we did last year
