2010 Playoff avatars and theme [Archive]

Is anyone here qualified to do gif avatars?

Maybe it's easy, but I suck at it :lol

Anyway, here is the idea: on the Montreal Canadiens forum, they have playoff avatars, like the ones that you see in my signature.

One guy offered the forums's members to make custom-designed avatars.

Those avatars have a main pic and a main slogan, then the secondary pic and slogan are submitted by each member.

Anywaym here is the link of the thread:

If someone could make that kind of avatars for us, it would be great

I brought this up on another thread, I think all Spurs fans should have the same avatar, sig and user title for the playoffs. Me and other spurs fans have already decided to put the slogan "revenge" in the sig and user title but if some other poster comes up with a better slogan and more people agree to use it then I will change it.

I love the idea but I suck at making avatars, however I think a few of us already have a slogan in mind.

Thanks :tu

I suggest we use that image as the main pic (and take off the lower part because of the autograph):

http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t339/andrewsautos/Basketball%20NFT/hpqscan0032.jpg

For the slogan:

On the main pic, it would be: " fear the mastermind "
Then the slogan for the secondary pic (pics submitted by each poster - along with his/her own slogan for it's own custom-designed avatar) would be with " fear - insert your own slogan "

The " Drive for 5 " will be inserted on the top left of the avatar

I dig the Psychic Pop pic above, but how about the still of Pop giving Shaq two thumbs up after hacking him in the first game of the season?

How about: "I declare a thumb war," in honor of the fifth ring :king

Shit, that's very good.

But what about the custom slogans on the seconday pics ? Don't forget, in this case, they would have to look like this: " I declare - insert own slogan "

I'm almost positive I'm not understanding you, but if they would look like "I declare _______," wouldn't that be up to the end user? In other words, they could fill in the blank with anything they thought was appropriate/funny? Or am I way off?

I just don't see that many Spur fans being able to agree on one slogan, especially in here.

Ok look at the avatars in my signature

Now, imagine I'm the guy making the animated avatar for every poster.

There is a primary pic - let's say the psycho Pop that I suggested, with the main slogan " fear the mastermind "

Now, you admiralsnackbar, when requesting your avy, will be sending me an image of your choice, let's say a pic of Ginobili, with your own slogan that starts with " fear ", let's say " fear Manu " or " fear the bald spot "
That will be the secondary pic (remember the avatar is animated)

So, every STemember will have his semi-custom designed avatar that way

Gotcha... sorry I had sigs turned off.

I guess I don't have anything too snappy to offer in that regard, but given there isn't much time before Sunday, maybe a standard-issue sig is easier anyway? Just 4 O'brien's flashing in sequentially, with Tim, Tony, Manu, and Hill behind each? Or you could have this be your first gif, then flash to a second, user-submitted pic... but yeah, like I said, I can't think of anything too clever for a pre-caption.

Are you TRYING to invoke the b-ball gods to make that our only playoff opponent?

I'm really hoping for a generic slogan to carry us through a deep playoff run.

Word. :tu

Alright, so I'm thinking aloud here but hear me out.

You don't want to make it for one opponent and be too shortsighted ... so it's got to be something that could stick if the Spurs should happen to advance. And ideally you want it to be uniquely SpursTalk/San Antonio.

So as it pertains to REVENGE. I usually like stuff that makes you go below the surface; stuff that makes you think how it is something came to be. So with that being said and REVENGE is where you want to start, why not go below the surface a tad?

REVENGE is a dish best served cold, right? What's a dish served cold that could be identified with San Antonio and take on it's on SpursTalk meaning?

Gazpacho.

I'm sure there are other dishes you could go with (I'm all ears) but it's a start and something to build off.

I'm fond of 'Spoiler Alert', for obvious reasons, but 'Fear the Gazpacho', 'Spoiled Gazpacho' or, better yet, just: 'Gazpacho.' (The Lakers are due a helping so the angle's not too shortsighted.) Something to that effect could work.

What ya'll thank? :stirpot:

Avitus1

04-17-2010, 09:00 PM

Gazpacho. When I read that I actually got a smile on my face. It makes a lot of sense... and honestly I can't think of any other cold dishes besides that and cold pizza...
