Title: OER banner 2012 update idea's.
Post by: tiger101 on January 14, 2012, 04:38:07 PM
Before I start the discussion I would just like to say the current OER banner has served us well. But given Thursfield has now retired and its a new year what are peoples thoughts on changing/updating the OER banner? and who would you place in it?

My Picks Riewoldt, Martin, Cotchin and Newman.

With Thursty now gone I'm happy if people would like a new/updated banner. Cotch, Dusty, Jack, Lids and if more than four then say Vickery or Houli. Maybe also go out on a limb and throw in a cub like Conca, Batch or even our first pick Ellis.

We can't use the new logo or any official logo for that matter as it's AFL copyright and the AFL has a zero tolerance towards unauthorised use even if it's harmless and is actually promoting footy. OER would receive an email from HQ's lawyers quick smart  :help.

Pope's current banner is a very good one so he's set a high standard to follow for the new one.

Could do with a simple upgrade or an overhaul, either way I'm sure it will look good once done.

I'll have a crack at making an up to date Banner MT. I can do a static one and an animated one if you like. No obligations or expectations. I'll post them in this thread for member discussion before next weekend and I'll steer clear of any official logos etc.

How about a banner with no players on it and just a photoshop job of Richmond supporters in full cry. Lets be honest its been these supporters and the vocal minority that has kept the club going since 1980, the club administration and players havent achieved anything. Respect the supporters not the people at the club who havent achieved poo. VOTE 1 THE SUPPORTERS!

i'd like to see what all the sashes in colour on the b&w side would look like and also see lids in there
but i think it's a ripper effort either way
Title: Re: OER banner 2012 update idea's.
Post by: tiga on January 16, 2012, 08:19:58 PM
Thanks guy's. Its just a rough draft at the moment and there is a bit of tidying up to do. I just wanted to get some stuff on the theme I'm running with. Yeah gerks, the layer actually runs across the whole banner. Its a crowd shot of the 1980 GF with those magnificent grandstand banners they used to do. I think I stuffed up dusty's opacity but as I forgot Lids I might slot him in instead on the redo. Great idea on the Yellow sash in the B&W photos. I'll add it in!  :thumbsup

I have taken on everyone's suggestions and created a version two of the banner.

Colourised the sash on the B&W photos - gerks
Down to one Dusty - Everyone
Added Lids - Everyone
Moved Jack Riewoldt to end - Ox
Fixed up Dusty's pic - gerks
De-cluttered and unfortunately Houli has hit the cutting room floor.

Sorry to disappoint TBR. Its a killer pic of Lids, Dusty's pic fits well and as far as the older photo's go, I had to scan them from books I have and most of them are in white shorts.
just be thankful they are not all white shorts (6 are in black, 5 in white)

I actually like that photo of Lids. Shows a bit of mongrel. You very rarely see that kind of determination on his face as he is normally a cool cucumber.
The whole picture shows him breaking a tackle of Clint Jones from the Saints and he appears to be screaming out to someone upfield to let them know that its coming their way.

So unless there is a mass dislike for it T101, I will probably keep it as is.

Tiga- well done, not just for the end result, which is terrific, but your flexibility in taking into account everyone's ideas into the finished product. I for one am glad to see our captain's nose back on his face again. Farewell to Popelord's great banner too, well done to both of you.

I think the club should utilise people like yourselves to do their internet banners and the likes, I'm sure you guys would do a banner for them for the cost of say a premium 16 game membership or so which would cost the club nothing.
Also this thread is a good example of getting ideas from members to contribute to the designs of a clubs image, it engages members and ends up a better product with the stuff.

Agree with all that DC.  The club should have engaged the supporters when looking for a new logo - they might have been pleasantly surprised at the outcome driven by passion rather than dollars.

Respectfully disagree. Too many chefs and you end up with the monstrosity that is the Demons logo.  :P
 
I'm happy for the club to engage industry professionals to present the club's brand. It's not something that just anyone can do and it's important to get right.
Recently the club has just engaged a new graphic designer and I am looking forward to seeing what looks the club develops over the next 12-18 months.

BTW nice job on the OER banner tiga. 8)

The club didn't have to accept any supporter based outcome as a done deal MM but the club could have done itself a favour by soliciting ideas from within that base and then passing that input to industry professionals.  I don't subscribe to the theory that only professional designers/marketers, by virtue of their qualifications, can generate a satisfactory result.  I give you the current Club website as an example.  I would stake my life on it that any number of supporters could have designed a far more functional and pleasing website than that one which was designed by current industry professionals.  Nothing guarantees failure more swiftly or surely than closing your mind to other ideas or options.

Again I respectfully disagree. Easy to be critical of professionals because everyone has an opinion on art but I guarantee if it was left to amateurs it would be an unmitigated disaster. There is a heck of a lot that needs to be taken into consideration when creating an overall brand for a multi million dollar organisation.
Looks easy, I assure you it isn't.

The club is limited in it's control of the website's design due to it's affiliation with Telstra.
I'm looking forward to seeing the new product shortly and expect it to be a vast improvement.

tiga considered a banner with Edwards, Jackson, Connors and muched talked about Tigers of the past such as Eustice, Lounder, Biddiscombe, Houlihan and Fiora but he didn't want other supporters to have to go out and buy a new computer after logging onto OER and smashing their old one  ;D.

I agree with what you say MM but to suggest only professionals can get it right is not true either.  My suggestion was that the club could have done itself a favour and solicited input from it's supporter base before handing that over to the professionals for consideration/consolidation into a professional finished product.  And remember that many of the supporters would also potentially have professional qualifications in the trade.  I just know that in my trade some of the best suggestions as to layout, configuration and design of our software comes from those with the least skills in applying it and for the professional consultant whose task it is to come up with the finished product, it can be a gold mine of ideas unbounded by our professional barriers/prejudices.

Yes, but it was still designed by Telstra's web design professionals.

I agree with Smokey on this one. To get some of the old photos I have on my banner, I had the advantage of a collection of Tiger memorabilia and books from which I could scan from and as a long standing, passionate Tiger supporter I knew what to look for from our past successes and great moments which I believe a creative designer who is not a Tiger fan would find it difficult to pull off. I know MM that you are thinking along the lines of the old saying  "A Camel is a Horse designed by Committee", but in this instance I can see what Smokey means, and that is all we would be doing as supporters, is providing ideas for the creative designer or in essence infusing the Tiger Passion into them, we would not be decision makers in the process by any means.
If we were, I have no doubt that our horse would have four humps.  ;D
