Portfolio What's in a Badge? (by Gibbsy.)

[Gibbsy]

Hello all.

Will start up by saying that I'm certainly not trying to toot my own horn here. But in the absence of regular posting on this board by basically all members over the past week I thought this might be worthy of a thread.

I've been experimenting with my new Mac as well as Youtube videos etc. and have gone down the path of this "series" I'm developing called What's in a Badge. Check this first one out and then read on.

What I would love from you guys is suggestions for ideas on what particular badges I should choose to dissect, any quirky or interesting information you have about said badges, and of course any feedback you think would help me improve my videos. Editing is already a pretty tedious job what with the cutting and chopping of audio so I don't really want to do any more effects.

Apart from that I hope you enjoy the video and I'd love to hear the thoughts of this superb board.

I'm on capped internet until the end of the week, but I'll certainly watch your video.

WSC magazine does this, as do FourFourTwo (who explain what each badge element means).

Re: What's in a Badge?

Very nice Gibbsy I would love to see more.

I would like to see you do one of the more complicated badges like Sunderland, St Mirren, Malaga, Newcastle United, Motherwell or Getafe.

Keep it coming!

PS: CBF = Can't be f***ed

Re: What's in a Badge?

Sunderland looks like a goer for my next vid, thanks for the support guys.

And yeah SA, I got my inspiration from FourFourTwo but I just wanted to build on it slightly.

Remember that it won't just be soccer badges, it could be anything.

Re: What's in a Badge?

I'm without Internet plan at the moment. Given I've been connected at home since 1995, when you paid by the hour on dialup, I've had to reconnect with games Thank goodness I can still read the forum at work...

Well done Gibbsy, it's really good.

But, this is first thing that I thought of when watching it:

But seriously, well done can't wait to see the rest.

[Gibbsy]

Haha Bradles its me! I made it! Haha. I will get around to doing man city mate

Re: What's in a Badge?

I look forward to you explaining those stars on the City badge.

"There are three stars on this crest. In the Serie A, clubs are awarded one star per ten titles. Manchester City have three – to indicate nothing at all".

But seriously... I'm sure you'll have a reason for those stars within the next few years. And I don't intend to be condescending in that remark.

Spain would be great, always wondered what it represents.

It's their coat of arms on their flag.

EDIT: And I just watched the video, nicely done Gibbsy. Clearly spoken, and a lot of good info in there.
