This violates the FIRST logo standards. Why not comply to said standards and just make it a square board (with slightly curved corners), and put the logo in large in the center with the grace space.

I am guessing this is for FIRSTopoly?

We know that, whatever design we choose, will be pending upon approval from first.

Re: pic: Possible Board Design 1
 

They also have to make sure that they don't cut off the (R) on the logo.

Imho, I don't think any modified logo would get approval from FIRST.

Looks good I bet they're still working out the fine details, it is posted as "possible board design 1" not "finally board design"

Re: pic: Possible Board Design 1
 

Even if there is more of them to come, this one is still in violation.

Ok, here's an idea...keep it classic style.



Basically what I did was I got the logo from first, added two PX to the height and width, centered it and drew a one PX border, then i expanded the image to just a random dimension for the example, and drew in the rest of the border lines. I think it keeps the classic monopoly feel, with the FIRST logo within all rules, and it has a pretty-ish border.

Also, you might want to check with FIRST on the whole concept. I know if I had an organization and someone wanted to make a game that revolved around it, I wouldn't be the happiest person around. Just my two cents.

My idea for this design was that it is changed enough to not infringe on any Hasbro/PB copyrights.

Re: pic: Possible Board Design 1
 

I don't think Hasbro can copyright a square...

Re: pic: Possible Board Design 1
 

Your logo also violates the FLS by like 2 to 3 pixels on the side. I'm sure FIRST would let you slide 2 to 3 pixels on the grace space, I can post an image of how I test it if you would like. Not something to worry about, no one else will notice, but it bothered me...

Re: pic: Possible Board Design 1
 

I threw this together in a minute or two. But the concept when done correctly wont violate the rules. It was just an example. Its not that I don't know my FIRST logo standards (I tend to actually inform people when they're wrong) I was just in a rush. The way I did it shouldn't of infringed on the logo rules but ok it did, have someone re-draw it correctly.

Re: pic: Possible Board Design 1
 

Wouldn't need much changing, just move the left side over a few pixels and fill in the empty spaces.

Re: pic: Possible Board Design 1
 

I know I will get bad rep. for this, but I feel it needs to be said.

Look, sorry to be blunt here, but do we always have to be so anal retentive to the logo standards? I really think that FIRST just intended them as guidelines for teams so that their logo would not be abused. Same way in which the BSA copyright protects the scout uniform.

If FIRST was so restrictive and cautious about uses of it's logo, wouldn't it enforce the rules itself?

This dosn't represent the opinions of my team, school, yada yada yada...

I believe FIRST trusts that based on gracious professionalism we we comply to the standards on our own free will. They should be fallowed when ever possible but it is not required under penalty of death. Yet with a project that you would want direct approval of FIRST you might want to comply to their rules before asking for their approval.

I also believe these standards are there in case FIRST is in a position when legal action must be taken if the logo is being used disrespectfully or illegally and the creator refuses to change it, they have the standards there set in stone.

Re: pic: Possible Board Design 1
 

Where would they find the manpower to do this?

It's understood that the rules are there to be followed. This is the entire concept of gracious professionalism--just because a rule can be broken with nobody knowing doesn't mean that it becomes OK, or you should do it.
