Do we have any? are they in any way enforced?

I think we entered the era of the logo meta game. I am old, and grumpy, and would just like to say:

'Down with this sort of thing'

During the majors we often get to see the teams that people spend most of their time on prettifying. We see a lot of logo use, and some of them I do not like.

I don't like:

Any logo covering the whole of your side of the pitch, it prevents me reading the pitch state as a tell for the weather (i know, having to move my eyeballs to specific icon isn't that huge a pain, but it is a little rude)

Any logo coming over my side of pitch. This is just rude beyond belief.

Any logo that makes seeing the players harder.


I would suggest a mandatory 3 board square margin around any logo, on your side of the pitch. This would leave plenty of logo room, but look less ugly.

I dislike the mandatory margin idea. There are some real nice full pitch logos out there, like some of the SWL teams use, e.g. https://www.fumbbl.com/p/team?op=view&team_id=657117

I'd be behind a limit to stop them encroaching on to the other half of the pitch though.

I am all for logo rules, have been for some time. I hate the ones that bleed over and the big black boxes that make the pitch look like crap. I would like to see a maximum size of about 300x250, or there about.

In addition though, it would be great to have a league/tournament option to set a different pitch base. For example, you could have a cool sand/desert theme for all Crown of Sand games, with the CoS logo and mid-pitch. This would be great for leagues too.

In fairness PC, I frequently use team logos and work hard on bios - but never have logos turned on in the client. I could be breaking all of these suggested rules without even realising, and I suspect quite a few other people will be in the same boat with me. I work hard to make things look pretty on the team page and don't really care about the client.

I'm of the opinion that it just doesn't matter. if I don't like them I just turn them off in the client options. Simples

Or.....you could just turn off your opponents logo if it offends you so.....this seems like a common sense solution all round to me.

Many coaches don't know how to resize/crop images, I would speculate that this is the reason for many oversized images. Not everyone is a Qaz/Foulscumm level pic genius.

+100

Why to enforce rules when choice is available? And simple.

I submit that Pchest just didn't know he could turn off his opponent's logo, and still look at his. Simple explaination. Otherwise this thread would make no sense what-so-ever. (that one word? It is now)

For me it's all about spectating. When i join a game to spectate i really dont want to have to then change multiple options i may want different for other games, or my own games.

I think its rude, also i am lazy.

yes. of course.

And i can choose not to look at people picking their noses and eating it in public. Doesn't mean it's OK that they are doing that.

If we talk about logos, first let them appear in blackbox.

Keep your logos on your own side of the pitch for crying out load! Evil or Very Mad

Beyond that I am mostly ok with things. But don't invade my space!
If you could stick to keeping the ball on your half as well that would be great too!
