I hope this is in the right place for this, I didn't know where else to put it. I was wondering what the mods or the site would think about having SC2 team icons like we have for Broodwar, to show our support for our favorite SC2 teams. Gom just put awesome icons on the banner for the team league for all of the teams that are participating, so that part of the work is done, if we can use those. Just a thought, what do you guys think?
Edit: Just added the larger icons as well.
|
is TL on there? the icon size isn't big enough for me to see
|
No, TL doesn't have enough people in the GSL to have qualified for the team league. They are in 9th place, unfortunately.
|
ah, they made these for the team leagues.. got it...
EDIT: now fully reading OP, i feel retarded, lol
|
We need to get those icons on the liquibet pages first imo.
|
With the seeds for GSL March (Ret and Haypro get seeded to Code A) they will qualify for the next one maybe.

TL needs 8 players for the team league? So it makes sense to leave them out.
I would also like to see "favourite teams" icon.. but it may be a little bit useless once TL gets a logo because the majority of people would just have the TL logo..
if it was team league specific then there would be a point to it
|
I realllllly want these. A mod should move this to website feedback.
|
Honestly, it feels a little premature to be finalizing team icons yet. Things are still up in the air this early in sc2's life. New teams could be forming and teams could break up without much notice. But sure, if the TL web team has free time, this would be awesome!
|
I don't have a favorite team yet. I will have to watch them in action in the team leagues. But I would love if we had icons. As long as the BW ones do not go away as well. :3
|
it's a good idea, oGs FTW.
However itr is in ST
|
just like the BW teams icons, i still wanna have a ToT) icon more than some korean team
but obv great job Turing, looks amazing !!!!!!!!

Thanks but just to be clear, I didn't make these. They were taken from the GomTV site.
|
Omg great idea ^^
I don't know who I would choose though... =o

Don't think ToT will happen, Mondi is playing for MYM. I think it's a bit early for SC2 team icons, the first team league hasn't even started. Wait a season or two to see which teams establish themselves before dong this imo.
|
I agree these would work great for liquibet if they were a little bigger. Oh well im sure there will be bigger versions available
|
TSL and IM have the best icons imo. I hope more team related events keep coming in sc2.

|
Keep in mind these are not scalable and also have to be extracted from the background to be useful at all.. If they are really to be used we need vectorized formats of them (=
|
I would like my own team icon, George Washington is gna win ESEA open
|
Because the site is Team Liquid why would they put teams there playing against for money and fame.
|
They should add EG, IdrA could take on all the teams solo, no doubt.
|

I doubt they are that petty to be honest.
|
Honestly, if they made icons, I would hope/expect that 90% + of TL users would have liquid icons, so kind of Meh.
|
I know I'd probably either have IM or oGs personally instead of TL, I love watching foreigners play over anything else... but my love from Broodwar makes me cheer for the Korean teams (for now).
|
Yea, I agree with DreamScar, even though I probably will put TL for now, because I don't really have a favorite player yet. But once, more players switch over (jaedong/flash), or some players get some sick skill (like IM has 2 pretty sick players right now)
|
I would have TL as an icon as well, but they're not qualified for the team league, and it might be an easy way to decide which icons to use. That way people aren't concerned about whether to have icons for whatever clans and teams, and theres a strict cutoff. Just an idea.

as right as that sounds in theory, it wouldnt happen in practice
|
There was a thread like this back in October and it shows an admins response to the thread. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=163991
It's an odd thing to balance. On one hand TL is a community site and it'd be cool to express our team favoritism, but on the other hand TL is also a team and it'd be a little tactless to come here and root for someone else :p
|
I understand that it might not be the time, but I don't know if we will have a more established team league at any point, or when that might occur. I really don't want to push the point or anything but some mod feedback would be great. Also, some other pictures of the logos from the GOMTV site:
+ Show Spoiler +
These are also the images that GOM uses and shrinks for there graphics, so they seem to be shrinkable. I'm not sure why the Slayers one is smaller and a different format though.
|
hahaha, the slayers logo is soo small. Now that they're bigger I think Prime has the most professional looking logo. I don't really like the shield designs, and oGs logo reminds me of the OZ logo.
|
All of the icons but the slayers one and TSL also look really similar in their style. Do you think the teams made them or GOM made them? The images I mean, not the actual logo design obviously.
|
Maybe, the logos really remind of other logos. + Show Spoiler +Startale looks like combo of KTF MagicNs and SKT oGs looks like Hwaseung OZ fOu idk but the shield is just overused. IM same thing Zenex reminds me of KT rolster Prime reminds me of playstation TSL is like a combo of wings and eyes Slayers doesn't remind me of anything
|
Interested in what the Mod's have to say about this. I'm sure the idea has been talked about in TL admin... mind letting us know your thoughts?
|
i need them as a wallpaper Q_Q

I like my Wemade icon thanks, id rather not have some new fangled shit i dont even know what is on here

|
I think they'd look pretty cool on wallpapers too, although we need a nice high quality liquid logo to match. I'm sure there's one around here somewhere.
And arb, I would assume an SC2 icon would only show up in SC2 forums, just like the BW team icons don't show up in the SC2 forums.
|
I'd really like this feature. Obviously everyone loves Team Liquid, but you could think of this as showing off your "second favorite" team.
|
What the hell would the point of these be? Everyone in their right mind would choose Liquid.
|
Well at the very least these icons can be used to make some cool stuff for game live report threads and wallpapers and such. I do think the idea of having icons to show support like the BW ones would be interesting though.
|
enlarge that image, it's way to small if possible
|
Just added the larger images to my first post.
|
I want a ZeNEX icon so bad...
|
Sounds cool, I like how some posters put the bw team's in their sig area, I don't know any of those team's so i don't put it, but there should be something like that for sc2.

This would be really sweet. I like the idea.

I think the Team Liquid site is kind of a go to spot for foreign interest in general for Starcraft and Starcraft 2 primarily, with some other things thrown in. I mean, oGs are kind of like brothers in arms and EG has a definite presence, so I think while having a TL icon would be the nice or "right" thing to do, it is not automatic.
Also, I do not think we need to wait for any reason other then the admins do not have the time. We can change are team preference on the fly and swapping tiny little pictures if a team goes kaput wouldn't need a rocket scientist.

Awesome, time to make a jacket.

Thats awesome. Now even just for other team league related things like LR threads and stuff, its nice to have big, pretty icons. No one has a nicer slayers one do they? Slayers is the only team on the Gom site with a tiny icon.
|
sorry guys, made a couple of t-shirts with the blue horsey the fact is i hate paying online (only on delivery)
|
It would be awesome to have some Team League icons in our sigs. The BW team icons just add so much more life into the BW forums, especially on LR threads.
Perhaps once the GSL Team League starts rolling we can get some nice, shiny icons to add to our sigs. The OGS, Prime, and SlayerS team icons just look too sexy for them to not be in my sig.

I like the prime logo, but it kinda reminds of complexity slightly

I think this would be a great addition.

Thats really awesome, I'm interested if you're willing to do that when you have time. These icons could be useful for other stuff aside from user profiles, like TLPD or something. Thanks!
|
Okay, I didn't have a ton to work with, AND some of them were pretty much impossible to make perfect with how small the letters were (even zoomed in at 1600%). Also, fOu and IM both had shield designs that I had to trace out in order to make transparent... And they look horrible. But I did my best, without having my tablet here to guide me. I can try to update these later, or some other people can work with them, but here's the transparent icons (can be put in the OP if you want):
ZeNEX:

Wow, nice work Wolf. Would love to see these get added.
|
This would really be a great addition, and i really think now is the perfect time since the GSTL is coming up. This would be a great thing for the SC2 forums, would love to hear what mods are doing/thinking concerning this.
|
Added TSL. Forgot to put that in there last time.
|
Nice job Wolf, they look pretty awesome. I'm not sure what else you could do about IM and FoU though.

TL does define itself as a SC News and Community website before a programing team, therefore I don't think it would cause them any problem. As TL members, we are already kind of invested in TL and nothing stops us from encouraging a team in our signature. An image isn't that much different.
|
Edit: Nevermind they looked transparent but weren't. Damn.
|
This idea is brilliant and with the recent GSTL totally legit. The sc2-teamliquid community needs those!
Although TeamLiquid.net has a team I think it's just reasonable to be able to root for other pro-teams as well. Having the right to positively root for Teamliquid comes with the right to be also able to negatively (-> rooting for another team) root for Teamliquid.
Hope Wolf's icons get implemented soon.

Oh I see. Haha. I might be able to fix them. I'll do it if TL says they'll use them.
|
I tried my best, but I'm sure somebody else could do a lot better. Those JPG artifacts were kicking my ass haha...
Maybe TL could pull some strings and get a hold of some lossless logos ?
Edit: I liked the images listed in the first post more (seemed like less artifacts) and replaced my original cuts with ones from that instead. Hopefully they're a little cleaner

In the tradition of icons that only use the team's central logo (like all the BW team icons):
edit: yes it is a little jagged on the diagonals, I probably could have done a better job lol
edit 2: also, gimp's gaussian blur seems to be really good at getting rid of artifacts
|
please TL administration, implement these
|
i think it would be cool to have foreigner teams also, for sgl, gcpl, etc
![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3e/EvilGeniusesLogo.jpg)

I'd love to see these added for the sake of the gstl; I think it'd be really neat to be able to see who everyone's supporting during the season and in the live report threads. Even if TL doesn't have enough to participate, some foreign teams have styles that inspire me, and thus I become a fan/supporter- for me that'd be slayers with alicia and boxer.
I think it would be neat if at the beginning of a major team league or tournament a notification to pick a team you support popped up under your profile like liquibet, and for the remainder of that tournament you proudly display your favorite team. Something along those lines would make it easy to add in foreign team icons and the such.
My only reservation is the root icon cause he creeps me out . <3 root though!
|
I would love to see these changes, only for the fact that I never kept up with the BW pro scene and I'm a relatively new SC fan with SC2. Would definitely love to show my support for my favourite team :D
|
Would be awesome to see these added now that the GSTL will be moving into a truer team league format instead of a tournament.
|
Has any TL representative made any statement regarding this?
Teams seem to be reasonably stable and there have been multiple GSTL tournaments and now a proper league. Is there any reason not to implement this?

There's a discussion going on amongst staff about team icons. We'll let you know when we've decided who/what/when/where/why/how.

Which one of my children do I need to offer as a blood sacrifice to get this done? I would really love for this to occur! I would prefer if you did both foreign and Korean teams but whatever you can do would be great!

It shouldn't be a problem since the BW team only shows up on BW forums, so SC2 should only show up on SC2 boards.

What ever happened to this? Why can I still not have the mouz logo in my sig
|
I'm going to bring this thread out of the graveyard to make a request for the powers that be to add a CM Storm icon to the list of favorite SC2 teams dropdown.
I've always loved Polt. I fell in love with Revival after seeing him play in IEM Katowice. So, natural progression of logic: I would like a way to show my support of both of them! I'll understand if you guys have to pass because they're more like a personal sponsor than an actual team (much like RedBull is for Bomber atm), but I'd be totally and utterly stoked if you guys could make it happen.
|
afaik, only teams which participate in a relevant team league (aka proleague) are getting a team icon. that being said:
GIVE JIN AIR ICON

Hi can we have a Team Expert icon pls? Sorry for the necro but I didn't find any more recent thread for it.
|
I'm going to necro this thread instead of creating a new one.
Who do I have to bribe to get an OZ icon? Even if the original plan was to only have icons for 'active' teams, that doesn't really hold true anymore so it would imo be okay to add more 'legacy' BW team icons. And with the potential amount of returning people (BW:R..) the timing would probably not be the worst right now.
