Anyone up for some Thrashball?

[Crotale]

Well, are ya?

I have been wanting to do up some new logo and brandmark ideas. The light bulb came on the other day when I was creating the latest batch of new GCON awards. I searched the world wide web and found very little info on Thrashball, so I came up with a concept of my own. I incorporated traits from military and professional sports logo designs to get to where this one is right now.

There are several "easter eggs" in this wallpaper. The first person to guess them all gets a cookie.

Well, Cole was number "83."

It says "Epic Sports" instead of "EA Sports."

"Classic Thrashball Federation" is initialized as "CTF," which also stands for "Capture the Flag."

That's the best that I can do. Nice wallpaper, by the way.

And the Rank 100 from gears 2 isnt it?

3 stars, is that for all 3 gears games, or maybe 3 types of gernades?? 3 Carmine's?

[Crotale]

3 stars, is that for all 3 gears games, and 3 Carmine's?

Fixed, and yes.

I'll give you and EpicGames4Life cookies, since you all were the only two that answered correctly. Sorry Boom.

Sorry for sounding like a Nub, but what is this online "cookie" that you speak of?

Thanks Rown. I love doing this stuff and it would be great to go full time. Someday, perhaps.


That's funny.

Yes. Yes, it is.

Looks amazing as always Cro, very polished and professional. Only thing I noticed, looks like a basketball in the middle, shouldn't it be more more like a... football? :o

Lol, are you doing the Jacinto Cougars logo next? :p

Lol, are you doing the Jacinto Cougars logo next? :pLOL, thanks. But that is no basketball. I ought to know, I made it myself. It is the closest I could get to a thrashball. Could it be that my leather textures are too bumpy?

A Jacinto Cougars logo you ask? That is a possibility.

[TheRealBigBoss]

^ It's probably the shape that made think "basketball" the most I guess. :o

And yeah, Jacinto has two teams apparently, the Cougars and the Eagles. :)

[rusticangelic]

Me likey!!!

Your expert skill never fails to impress Cro :D

[SUBZEROCOOL]

Yay me :D Thanks Crotale!! Just print and eat.

I'll see if I can create a better looking texture for the ball.

Here is my reference: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101007135150/gearsofwar/images/1/11/Gears3Thrashball%2BCole%2BMP%2BVariant.jpg

Maybe you should consult a health care professional.
