There are a few trophies that are missing from our collection of images, and I'd like to see if there are some resourceful people in the community who might be able to help us out (maybe in exchange for free supporter?)

In particular, we're looking for national team trophies. Some (very bad) ideas are included below to get the ball rolling, but you might have better success with your own concepts :-)

The two should be in the same style as (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/images/trophy_2_1.jpg) and (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/images/trophy_1_1.jpg)

One of the trophies will be given to the coach of a country's team that wins the overall world tournament. The other will be given to the coach of a country's team that wins the tournament within a continental region. We'll likely have gold, silver, and bronze trophies for first, second, and (two) third places.

For the continental trophy, one idea is a golden basketball on a stand, with a small image of the continents on a plaque on the ball. Something fairly similar to (http://www.awardsandtrophies.com.au/Images/Products/1563_...) but facing the front, and in a similar golden color to the other trophies). The plaque at the bottom could say "AMERICAS"

Alternately, another idea is a silver image of the continent on the stand and a golden seal on the front, with the same plaque on the bottom.

For the world trophy, maybe something like (http://z.hubpages.com/u/196782_f260.jpg) but with a globe in the middle instead of a basketball. Again, with a similar golden color as the current trophies.

These are my bad ideas. If you have other ideas but lack Photoshop talent, feel free to post them here :-)

Thanks! I look forward to reading what everyone has to say.

I like your continental trophy suggestion....

Here's my share of ideas... for inspirational purposes.

http://www.thetrophyshopuk.com/img/products/A964L.jpg <<<you could replace the word basketball into something different, maybe continent name, then engraving of the team name below

I have other ideas but I can't find it on the net... like a trophy wherein it's just like a basketball, but the lower half of the ball represents the other half of the globe... of course the trophy is in gold....

Other trophy include a ball wearing a crown, and the crown's "spikes" are like flags, representing the numbers of the continents.... (this is for world championship winners)

or like a basketball with a wreath of leaves on top... and with stars above them representing the continents. or something like that.

And you want them to be made in the same size as the images you posted? Can you make a list of what you need or specify more in detail? I would want this because it is much easier to take height for things when planning/making it in the first place than to edit after it is done. Something like:

Continental Trophies:
64x92 pixels
.jpg/.png/? transparent background
X pixel/inch?

plaque with name of the continents (or space for name/in english, open for translation? Preferred size of plaque)
Ribbon/excess detail color preferred
1 gold w/gold plaque
1 silver / 5 silver (depending on if you want open space on plaque or with continent names already imprinted) w/gold plaque
1 bronze w/gold plaque


World Trophy:

64x92 pixels
.jpg/.png/? transparent background
X pixel/inch?


I don't know if pixel/inch matter, or if this only matters for printing. Maybe someone with photoediting experience/skills can answer.

...and you also need some images for the drop down menu's. If you can provide a list, anyone interested in making some can refer to that if they get creative, perhaps with a 1 month supporter for each image that gets used? These are 32x32 pixels and should have center slightly to the left or not fill the whole frame. transparent background. Some of these lead to the same site and can use the same image. What do you say, BB-Mark?

What about medals?

Most international competitions in most sports award medals rather than trophies.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I'd say they award both, typically. My guess is that trophies will look better.

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

Nice idea but maybe..
Can be added medals and trophies combination..
Medals may appear on the player page and trophies on the team page..

What do you think ?

Here is my idea. It is very basic and could be made more beautifuller if y'all like it.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
