Name that Set Poll

Ok, time's up on submissions! Glad I put up a reminder yesterday because the submissions about doubled and we ended up with a nice round 10. The poll is now live on the upper right corner of the blog.

Just the names are in the poll but if you follow this link back to the original post, most of those who submitted a recommendation left a brief explanation of their choice in names.

I have set the poll to end at the end of the day Friday (11:59 PM). In the event of a tie, I will have a runoff poll.

Thanks and good luck to all participants!

Name That Set Contest - Last Call

Like the title says, this is a last call for a chance to Name That Set. Check out the link to last Saturday's post and leave your own submission. There are some good ones already but still room for more!

Remember the winner will get a small lot from their favorite team including "real*" cards and some of my customs.

I will be away for the weekend for a wrestling tournament for my sons but hope to have the final poll posted sometime on Sunday.


*Real cards limited to baseball as that's all I have but I'll do my best to make customs of any sports team.

Name that Set Contest

I've been referring to my newest custom card design as, well, my newest design. The problem with that is I'm always tinkering around in photoshop so there will inevitably be a "newest design" hanging around.

Since I started my blog, I've debuted several sets. First we have the ATCRCS (All-Time Cubs Roster Custom Set). I pronounce it "atcrocs" for those wondering. This is my baby and will probably be my biggest set. Hundreds, if not thousands, of different cards will be made.

As seen in the header, I have three other designs that I frequently use as well. This one I've dubbed the 2012 Team Set since naturally, I used it to make a card for every player and coach in a Cubs uniform from 2012. I will probably use the design again in the future for something else but that's the name I'm going with.

The newspapery one is titled "This Day in Cubs History" so that's the long name. I label the files on my computer "tdich" and whatever the players name is so I lovingly refer to this set as T-Dish. That's its hip hop name. This is the smallest set so far because, well, because they're the Cubs. Here's to next year!

 

But this "newest design" stumps me for a name. I'm going to tweak the Define the Design theme Night Owl has used and run a little contest with it. I'm asking you to help name this latest set for me. Leave a comment with a name suggestion. I'll let the comments accumulate (Hopefully! Don't be shy! Enter more than once!) for a few days and then run a poll for everyone to vote on. I'll put together a package for the winner that will include a few customs cards of their favorite players/team as well as some licensed cards.

Here's a recap of a few I've done already that might inspire you. Keep in mind it doesn't have to be Cubs related since I'll be using this set for other teams/sports.
 

 

 

 

So help me out! Please and thank you!
