Game Posters

[dougp]

I'm going to two games coming up in a few months, the Spurs @ Rockets (Mar 12th) and Spurs vs. Jazz (Apr 9th). Last time I went to a game, I had my Tim MVP poster that I've linked below. Unfortunately, I was sitting on the same side as the cameras, so I never made it on TV. This time, I know the seats I have at the Spurs @ Rockets game will be behind the visitors bench. I'm going to have this poster made, but I haven't decided on which colors I'll use. What would you go with? They're typically done 18"x24" on poster board.


Option 1:

For reference, my Timmy poster from a few years ago:

You've qualified for a Manu-facepalm.

Those are sick 2nd one is my favourite any chance you could resize them for an avatar???

It would make more sense if the "M" were the same color as the "VP"

I had them like that and one of my coworkers was like WTF is Anu? Hah ... I'll put some like that, and the wife just said put MVP like the Tim poster. I'll do a few more after some quick games of BO.

PBEEZY, I'll resize them for you.

Looks like the old Spurs "Taco Cabana" floor color scheme.

this. do not want

I went with the fiesta colors for a reason. 1) I've been a Spurs fan a long time, and that's how I remember our logo, 2) the posters require 4 unique colors - I attempted it using black, silver, white and basketball orange and that didn't work.

I highly considered getting my Robinson shooting jacket cleaned and wearing that to the game, as it'd go perfectly with the poster.

Yah, I'll have everything cleaned up for the print. I didn't want to invest too much time into drafts :)

[arles]

Can I post the image on Manu's forum?

^^ this coupled with the fact that you added the choice of "none of these" = fair enough

Fiesta colors are really not a good choice. I'd seriously consider changing it.

[baseline bum]

I like the first the best, though I might make the letters 'anu' smaller so the MVP really stands out in the poster.

Other color recommendations though? Wanted something more spurs oriented. I have an idea I'll work on when I get home.

[rascal]

Put the Letters like this.
MANU
V {In this space put a Manu profile attacking the basket.}
P { Like the NBA logo but with Manu instead of Logo West}

I agree there's not really a good way to do Spurs-oriented colors. If you're dead-set on doing it, then the way you did it is probably the best. Given the style, I say play it straight. I played around with different colors on my avatar pic, and nothing else worked.

Fiesta colors will stand out. I say go for it.

[itzsoweezee]

Fiesta colors are dope. Don't listen to these guys.

Legit fans rock the hell outta old school fiesta colors.#3

Yeah, listen to someone that uses the word "dope". ;)

[Em-City]

It would make more sense if the "M" were the same color as the "VP"


^^^^^^^^^^ this.


Fiesta colors are dope as hell btw..


love the poster!

[jimo2305]

lol pbeezy..

but im not too thrilled about the fiesta colors tbh.. if we absolutely have to use the fiesta colors.. use less color variation.. otherwise it'd look messy.. when i get home ill spin something up to show what i mean.. but just my 2 cents..

[100%duncan]

This--- " The person behind me can't see history because of this sign"

[ffadicted]

Def make the M the same color as the VP

[itzsoweezee]

Yeah, listen to someone that uses the word "dope". ;)

Your corniness is coming through with each additional reply. Just stop, you're lame.

As for the avatar:

If you'd like to post this around, that's fine - I didn't take the picture, just modified it. Please make sure you refer posters back to SpursTalk though!

cool man I like option 3.

I'm going to the Spurs game in Houston also, with about 20 other memebers of the silver and black pack, and the baseline bums should be there also from what I was told,were sitting in either section 126 or 101 still collecting money from a few members, but it's going to be fun with all the spurs fans there.

I'll be in section 120, row 6 seats 15 & 16. My wife is a Mavs fan, but she'll be sporting my S&B track jacket, was the most I could get her to wear. If you can't guess who I am by the sign, then you're on your own!

You're groovy and keen.

PS: For future reference, the wink emoticon (;)) means I'm messing with you. It's generally intended to keep your panties from bunching up.

You need to add silver in there instead of blue. Silver and black need to be two of the colors.

How would silver look instead of the fiesta colors? Make the background another color.

Doesn't work. Everything looks seriously out of place with the White, Silver, Black combination. I was going to make the left background and it's applicable color power blue with the background portion being the Argentinian flag, and the right side the spurs logo and the rest of the colors that. It was an idea.

I'm really fond of the fiesta colors and it brings back a lot of memories for me, so that was a big reason why I went with it.
