Team Standards Design

[guniv]

I dunno, I think MOST teams are gonna have their logo covered on their shirts, while their number is still gonna be displayed there on the drivers' station panel anyways. Having a cool, custom design for your standard seems like a no-brainer to me.

I personally used Google Docs Google Drawing feature. It has a fair amount of shapes and is pretty basic but it still works.

I don't know about a Chrome app but I know pixlr is pretty much an online PS basics if that helps! I use it a ton when my software is acting up.

There's probably a better place to post this, but I stumbled across this TED talk about flag design, and thought others might enjoy, and hopefully some team standards will benefit.

What studios are you guys using to make your standard designs? I'm going to try gimp, just wondering if there was any particular software that worked great for anyone?

Adobe Illustrator.

I used paint.net, which is about the same level of utility as gimp. I have used gimp in the past for projects similar to this; the change is simply because I'm working at a windows box these days.

We used Inkscape since we wanted our design to be a vector graphic, but GIMP is a good alternative if you don't care about that.

I would recommend all teams buy themselves a creative cloud subscription. It's really worth it for these sorts of applications and with the student discount its pretty cheap.

I used Google's Google drawing part of Drive. It is pretty basic but it is good for a quick rough draft. GIMP is a good choice, but I'm still learning it.

Excellent Ted Talk. Reminds me of the "Death by Powerpoint" tips for good design. Working in industry I keep seeing people that agree with these concepts in theory, but have some reason why the rules don't apply to them.

Check out the evolution of the Apple logo:


It's going to be fun seeing all the cool Standards at the Regionals!

I love this design. Simple - yet easily identifiable. Always top notch work 2512!
