OT: 2013-14 PLAYOFF Avatars

[Satan]

Yeah, it's pretty ****ing early to start the whole avatar jazz.
Yeah, piqued is normally the avatar man. (I'd love your help / ideas)
Yeah, it's another year with a new squad.

I like this concept a lot (the one above). I find it really suits our team (See: Seguin debacle (a joke)) (See: Young, vibrant team... maybe with an attitude)

I'll use this thread to compile nicknames for the team. Hopefully we can get a consensus for most otherwise I'll choose at my own will. We'll also assign a player to a member to keep things in order.


Nicknames
Ownership
Tom Gaglardi - MC Gags
Jim Nill - J-Nilla (oconnor9sean)
Lindy Ruff - 2RUFF

Players
Jamie Benn - Shutsy (brinkmanjs)

Kari Lehtonen - Dirty Kari // Hamburglar
Dan Ellis - Icecube

Other

Darryl Reaugh - Razor

I'll get a few panels designed so hopefully we can choose to what we prefer. Aiming at 3, however you guys brainstorming would be great as well.

1st panel should be similar to the above, 2nd panel maybe an action shot and the 3rd with the new logo and DALLAS STARS in the old N.W.A. font is what I have in mind.

PM me if you want one and which player you want and I'll start spewing them out once we like what we see. First example should be out around midnight tonight. I'm a little busy from now 'til then.

[Dr Pepper]

perfect

 

[Rune Forumwalker]

Cody Eakin is "Red-Man"
Ralph Strangis is "Snowman"

Love these.

Roussel = Eiffel 65

This one is good too.

Ray Whitney - The Godfather

Best yet.

 

[ck26]

More rap and less gangster ...

Jamie Benn is "Gucci Mane" as long as he keeps the mullet thing working
Jamie Oleksiak is "Fat JO"
Ryan Garbutt is "G-40"
Vern Fiddler is "Pusha V"

 

[Satan]

For me, a name like Tyler, the Creator or Dan the Automator are just too long to fit in a 100x100 avatar. Simple, small names like T-SAYGS or ICECUBE fit fine. The Godfather pushes it a little but it is so fitting for Whitney.

I've got the first panel done. Working on the 3rd. The player panel is the easiest thus if you have a picture of preference send it my way.

 

[Satan]

One issue that is annoying me is the placement of the font and font size. With different lengths of names and old 100 pixels to work with, we may just have to deal with ever changing font sizes unless this is a non-issue with most of you

 

[Satan]

Dont use these

 

[Satan]

Just realized that normal posters get 125x125 avatars

**** me.

 

[SonicSpeedDash]
