Now (Is it too late?) we can try to define the elements of our Logo:

Essential:

1. A prominent Tiger Ball.
2. Some action pics in the background.
3. Title
4. Slogan (Title & Slogan to reflect our Flag colors)

Auxilary:
1. Stumps
2. Bat

Possible Action Pics:
1. Masri's Famous Action
2. Aftab's Diving Catch
3. Rafiqul Moments
4. Batting Drives from Bashar & Likes

To begin with I must say thank you very much and congratulations to rajputro, ehsan, orpheus and radicalsami. You guys put on monumental displays of creativity and courage. Increasingly it is becoming harder and harder to pick one. Make no mistake, even though only one will be picked up in the end, all of you guys are already winners. I salute you for your great effort, time, creativity and enthusiasm.

Others might differ with me, and I expect it to be the case, here's my critical analysis of the logos in general so far.

Tiger ball selection is very good by the most. It's placement is vital for the final outlook. Being already prominent by itself, placing it in the middle only serve to restrict the visual field. It's probable best placement is the extreme upper left corner as thoughtfully used by raj. Raj's font and color selection for the title is telling. But his slogan's color is the weakest part of his lone logo. His otherwise beautiful background becomes somewhat clustered at the left.

Ehsan's great logos suffer most by three elements. Ball placement goes first. Second one is the title font effects. And the last in my view is the rafiq's still picture at the left which seems to have dumpen the glory of other background elements. Slogan and the rest of the background are his best. His are the best individual items. Little more tweak might take the logo home.

Radicalsami's ambitious glowing effect and the ball placement is discreminatory to the other parts. A great background is vastly hidden by these two. Glowing elements take more space and also push the rest far behind. It's a no no if not used judiciously and meticilously.

Orpheus' simplicity speaks for itself. He made a super background only to be hurt by the font usage as well as by the ball itself. His insight into the root of our cricketmania is beautifully characterized.

The criticism is by no means demeaning. Criticizing is easy, making logo is not. You guys have already spent significant amount of time and energy for this. I think, expressing views and opinion in this regard will bring the best out of the bests. Someone said, artist are never satisfied. Be unsatisfied, be demanding. It will only help the cause in addition to help incorporate viewer's prospect into the artist's imagery. Again my deep hearted salute goes to you guys.

Paco, where are thou?

Thanx a lot for the comments chinaman... really appreciated... I know I am little weak towards glow effect as wud be evident from most of my other digiart works... Maybe I will try something new later... but study and work calls kinda restricts my time from today onwards

Third One:

Chinaman bhai great analysis. I had some other things in my mind placing rafique's still picture; for example when it is the fire wickets, that reflects rafique's bowling and shows how convincingly he can take wickets. Whn it was the tiger-ball placed above rafique's still pic that spoke by itself about the tiger. I do know that the placement were not good at times.

Are we in a stage now to go for a poll or are we sill waiting for some other people to come up with any new things?

[Orpheus]

But I still don't like ppl using the wrong tiger. It's not Royal Bengal Tiger.

Chinaman you can be a very good politician, if not one already :P

No boasting...but I still like mine more than you guys'. You ppl suck and I thought I was the worst graphics software user in the world I am still wondering how the hell ehsan made that template! It's like pro to zero.

Nasifkhan -- 2nd looks best

Orpheus... I dont take direct negative criticism too nicely.... :P Ar ektu politely to bola jai je sami u suck... eibhabe bollen tai bole??? But yeah... I guess I beat you to being the best of the worst graphics artist in the world

Nasif Bhai... The second one rocks big time... just if you could put the flag in there as well in the same manner u did in the 3rd one... taile ekkebare perfect hoito I guess... could u just make one like that and see how it comes out....???

First of all I had no idea what the people wants. At the first place I thought we need a very simple logo, just like the current one, was confused what to do with the background then too many elements in the logo blowed off my head, which ended up in a poor place ment of the elements. The last factor was the time. You didn't had to do a lot of work to get your logo up as you probably had to cut two pictures, if you take a look at my logos you'll see how many I had to. Trust me deigning your own template when you know what you want is very easy than to design a logo for someone else.

Orpheus might actually be right about the tiger. The tiger is probably not a Bengal Tiger. We should find a similar looking Bengal Tiger (Panthera Tigris Tigris).

Chinaman is right. Everyone should be proud of their effort. Whichever one we choose in the end, I think it will be influenced by some part or another by all of us. So its really a team effort.

Right now, I think the choice is between Rajputro's ones which are beautiful in their simplicity and Nasifkhan's second or third one. NK, I agree with radicalsami's suggestion of putting a flag on the second one. And lets try to find another tiger perhaps. I'll try to search for one. We need a real bengali baagh mama.

Here is more...

[nasifkhan]

the Fifth One.

[Ehsan]

I already have a bengal tiger pic but not a violent one as that was.

Here it is.

[Edited on 28-10-2003 by ehsan]

[nasifkhan]

Number 6

[Sham]

Ehsan, that tiger works!

NK, here is my suggestion. I know I'm making it very complicated, but here goes!

Why not try the second one with the following changes:

1. Ehsan's tiger!
2. The flag. (like the third one)
3. The big fonts for Where True Tigers' Fans Belong. (Like in the fourth one)
