I could design that shield in an hour or so.

Yes, I took time out of legal practice for this!




Yep, top looks best.
I wonder how the new logo would look with the lighter shade of blue instead of the darker. For that matter, how would the grade numbers look matching the darker shade in ex.2?

But top is best.

OK, here is my shield design, drawn freehand, scanned, colored and shaded using Photobucket tools (no art program) with holographic visualization implied...




This is still rough, but I've tightened the image and tweaked the color for a much more finished appearance.

FTR, I don't have issues with the current shield logo on a less aggressive label, but the old logo looked fine too and incorporated into a holographic design I bet it would really pop.

This is just an experimental shield design. Several boardies have contributed label concepts that show great promise, IMO.

Since you referenced MST3K, I assume you know what that is, and thought maybe you were a fan.

I mean this

Thanks. Alas, My intent wasn't to insult the current shield design, but I can see how my comment might've been taken the other way.

I saw DrWatson's comment as a challenge to design a hologram shield of more longated construction. Thought it would be fun, so I did it.

Well, I did s'more work on it and edited the earlier version. Still a bit rough, limited by Photobucket tools, but better; I don't give these projects up easily!

I like an open label design better, without boxes.

I reckon that shield is already spoken for man...

So is there any images of the new new label yet hopefully they will be coming out of SDCC. Would be nice if a CBCS employee created a shill account to leak them on their own forum without doing any official announcement. Come on Leak Gate.

Has there been any official announcement that they're reviewing feedback and making some tweaks? I did see one poster say he saw a mock up. Weird that there hasn't been any statements from CBCS.

Ricketts came on here a few days ago thanking people for the feedback and saying they would re-evaluate things after SDCC.

I assume you're talking about the ugly label. There's a video and several examples posted in this thread.

So, I'm bored.
Here's one for the conspiracy theorists:
What if CBCS created a label, HOPING that people wouldn't like it. There's an almost obsessive amount of complaining and discussion about it. CBCS posts a comment saying, "we hear you & we're working on it." They make some tweaks and reveal a different design. Collectors are happy that CBCS cares, even if they still don't like the design.
- win for collectors
- win for CBCS
- another nail in the coffin for CGC
I know it probably didn't happen this way but the Machiavellian part of me hopes it did.

You're attributing waaay too much intelligence to the CBCS crew.

It was the Illuminati.
They were also behind CGC's new slab and their "frankenslab."

LOL! Naw, no similarity 'tol. Besides, the NFL shield looks cheesy.

My shield shape is completely different, much closer to the bow plates on old warships circa late 19th century. The NFL wasn't even fully fleshed out as a sport at that time. I don't think the stars can be trademarked, it's a totally different configuration. And the letter design bears no resemblance whatsoever to the NFL font.
Heck, the NFL isn't even real "football".


Anyway, it was just a design concept.
