Team Standards Design
 

I haven't found a thread yet for all of the standards that teams have made to get suggestions. I have no background in design but I figured that I would take a crack at it. Everyone should post their standards below and if anyone has any tips they are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! :D
(This is in no way my teams final banner, I haven't even pitched the idea yet.)

I'm pitching for us to have a black banner with a large version of our logo on it. On the back we'll have a smaller logo with sponsors. Might make custom streamers for events we win, but that's about it.

This is my first draft at a team standard that I threw together, because I love the idea! It's a bit bland, so any suggestions to improve would be most appreciated (This also hasn't been pitched to the team, and is only in it's first stages of development)

Good effort Jake, I appreciate your initiative. Personally, my idea was to have Azure charged with the head of a robot Argent, four plates around made to look like moons, over a 3 point label Or

Here's a preliminary design we've made.

I've been thinking about starting to put together a preliminary design for my team's standard. However, for most of the day, I only have access to a chromebook. Does anybody know of any Chrome Web apps that might be helpful to me for designing this?

Our former lead teacher put up an interesting link that made me completely rethink using out team logo in our standard,

Excellent presentation. I had forgotten about this, thank you for bringing this up.

Anyone designing a flag may want to take a look at this guide from the North American Vexillological Association.

Basic Tips
Simple design: avoid small details hard to distinguish from a distance
Colors: choose a few colors that contrast well
No text: looks cleaner
Unique: choose a design that is immediately recognizable

Totally unofficial, of course - we had several ideas presented this evening that were pretty cool. My idea of using the outline of our logo for the tails got a few positive nods. My idea was posted on CD-Media, and is my avatar until the team picks one for real.

That was a really great talk, well worth the 15 mins. (Plus it's a gold standard in how you can do a great podcast)

I have to confess the first time I saw "Vexillological" I said "Yep, seen that, illogical designs of VEX robots, good to know there is a word." :rolleyes:

Can't wait to see how simple and clean some of these designs will be.

[COMPLETE TANGENT] This guy's podcast called 99 Percent Invisible is about design in all forms of life. Buildings, way finding, challenge coins, all covered. It's so good. Listen to this episode to get an idea of how it is if you're interested: http://99percentinvisible.org/episod...l-integrity-2/ [/COMPLETE TANGENT]

While I agree with the guy, and think it's amazing, I still think that the team logo and number should be present on the standards. Most teams are easily identified by their numbers, and the symbol pretty much defines the team. Also, most teams don't have any other forms of symbolism to add, making it very hard to do. Although I still think that everyone should keep it simple and clean, and shouldn't put to much onto the standards.
