The Glade 4.0

For the...what...7th or 8th year in a row we have created a Rangers Glade Fantasy Football league. This year, instead of using Yahoo sports, we are going with ESPN. I'm liking it already. There are lots of customizable things you can do. One of those things is create trophies. This is where glade members can come in. I'd really appreciate, and I'm sure other members of the league would as well, if someone could create a cool image that would could use as our trophy. ESPN has some stock images but it has the option to link to something outside ESPN.

I'm thinking something like a bow and arrow to start with and maybe a football integrated somewhere. Cheesy is fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

OK, this might be a bit "busy" (but then, so is the ranger class), but how about combining elements of the archer and the dual-wielder to create the cardinal & intermediate compass points?

I'm thinking of a bow & arrow to form the cardinals while a pair of crossed swords form the intermediates. Superimpose that against a football field background, and you're finished!

Good news - I can do cheesy.

Lenas, that's awesome.
Not overly fond of that particular bow & arrow pin, though. I saw it while image searching and thought it would be perfect if not for the way the string intersects the shaft in front of the fletches instead of back where the nock is.

Yeah.. I think it's an image of a nipple ring. It blended well, though, so I used it. I'll find a better one.

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that phrase on the Glade...

Might as well use the original...

I dunno. I kinda like the other one better, funky bowstring and all. The image is less accurate, but looks better.

I prefer the original as well.

That looks nice.

I know I don't get a say since I'm not technically a Ranger or a Fantasy Footballer...but I really like the first one with the nipple-ring bow.

I prefer it as well.

Ok, it wasn't showing up for me earlier. Now that I see it, I like it better.

I like the second bow better for the reasons Shel mentioned, but the overlap with the football is better.. =)

?

Ha! Nice.

I see what you did there...

Piggybacking on an existing thread.

You're all familiar with this image:


I'd like someone to change it a bit to so that it's suitable for the new Glade Backup Board I'm setting up. I don't particularly care what change is made. I'm sure I'll end up regretting saying that, but whatever.

Thanks.

Failing that, this image is quite nice too- although busier:

Heh...I havn't seen that in a while (I use AeroBlueX). I remember making that upon the establishment of Rebooted.

Good times, good times.

It's prominent in the Glade theme. I'd tried to integrate it into the other themes, but it doesn't look right. I may see if I can get some of our talent here to help clean up the look of it with other themes.
