Let's not allow all the negative things distract us from the fact that our beloved LA Clippers franchise was founded exactly 50 years ago!! Here's a remix of a Clippers website background that I came across. I added: - a special logo to help fellow die-hard Clipper fans celebrate #50Years of #Clippers Basketball!
- a title
- and a timeline that starts in 1970 when the franchise was founded.
The 50th season is an opportunity to honor the rich tradition of #ClippersBasketball. It's a "Journey Through the Decades" displaying every era of Clippers basketball since 1970. This artwork is a humble appreciation for all the fans who've supported the #LAC franchise along the way... Go Clippers!! i.imgur.com/RIHMEc6.jpg I wonder what fellow die-hard LAC fans think of this special LAC commemorative logo concept?  HUMBLE APPEAL: Also, please feel free to re-tweet this logo concept, so that more Clipper fans can see it. It'd help a lot. A whole LOT of effort was put into this graphic design. Tweet link below:
Last but not least, here's the Instagram post, if you'd like to go support this artwork with a Like:  http://instagr.am/p/B0_XmeylUTy

This is great.
How do you get those collage pictures in the background, but keep them dark and faded looking, so as not to overshadow the foreground?

Man, I'm disappointed that I dedicated so much time and effort into this and you're the only person who cared to comment... Thanks for your time though.. This reminds me why I don't really even remember about this place. Sad. You be safe. Go Clippers. |

I believe on the old boards, there were more responses, because more people were checking the boards.
Can you expand upon the technique that you used, with regards to the questions that I asked?

Hi again Nuraman, Hope you're staying safe and well. I used Adobe Illustrator, hope that answer your question. Man, I came across a website that has blatantly stolen a logo concept created by me (in August of 2019). Here is the link to that: www.nbaprojersey.net/patrick-beverley-black-50th-season-clippers-t-shirt-p8882 What bothers me is: [/b][li] my logo concept was created for Non-Commercial purposes (unless the Clippers themselves wanted to use it, but I thought if that were the case they would have the decency to contact me, which they haven't done) [/li] [li]The guys who stole my design mention on their website that the merch they put my logo on is "Officially licensed" - that's a blatant lie! [/li] [li]If I can't get profit out of a fan art that uses the Clippers officially licensed logo - then how come some random assh*le can use it and make money out of my hard work? How unfair is that? [/li] [/ul]I first posted the logo concept publicly in August 2019: http://instagram.com/p/B0_XmeylUTy Let me know your thoughts... I'm so angry right now that I can't even think properly... Thanks a lot! |

Actually this logo is not factually correct. We were the Buffalo Braves in 1970. Then the San Diego Clippers beginning in 1978. We were not the L.A. Clippers until 1984. So this is the Clippers 42nd anniversary or the Los Angeles Clippers 36th anniversary. So for that reason I would not be too concerned if somebody else stole your logo. But it looks really good. Nice job.

I was going to suggest a lawyer too (or legal action).
Thanks for the resource.

Certified, registered or couriered. He'll need evidence that they received the letter. After they have received it, then if they don't stop, that's when you spend the $$$ on a lawyer or find one who will pursue it on a contingency. There is always a way to find them with some digging. |

So this is the Clippers 42nd anniversary or the Los Angeles Clippers 36th anniversary. So for that reason I would not be too concerned if somebody else stole your logo. But it looks really good. Nice job. I just saw this. Thanks for your thoughts. I'm aware that we were the Braves in 70, and then S.D. Clippers in 1978 and so on... Still, the franchise was founded in 1970, therefore it is the 50th anniversary OF THE FRANCHISE. Also, the fact of the matter is that the franchise is currrently named L.A. Clippers - hence the name. It is 100% factually correct in my books and in my humble opinion. (Sorry if my post comes late, life hit me hard, I lost my job, my significant one broke up w/ me, it's all taken a toll on me...)   |
