Whos doing the playoff avatars?

[Little Psycho]

That's not bad at all

Sick of our Powerplay.
Sick of Kopitar killing too many penalties
Sick of Brown's contract.
Sick of our Coach.
Sick of our GM.
Sick of our system goalie.

Sick of Kopi's worse corsi on the PK
Sick of Toffoli not killing more PKs

 

[Little Psycho]

Sick of Brown's resurgence
Sick of Doughty's Norris worthy season
Sick of Dion "is done" Phaneuf
Sick of Kempe's good looks

Oh I like that. Turning it into a positive. That's so good.

 

[Choralone]

Or simplify it where sick has the positive meaning as well (i.e., Kempe - sick flow, Carter - sick hands, etc.)

 

[KingsHockey24]

Sick of this smog
Sick of this gameday traffic
Sick of these celebrity fans

Sick of these talent-less goons. (Could be used for Clifford/Andreoff/MacDermid/Brown)

Is that the axe gang from Kung fu hustle that you put Kings head on lol.


Found it

just throwing out another idea, something around like a specific kings player->Pepto->playoffs or something like that.

Kopitar: 50 point season->Pepto->Hart trophy
Dion: Last place Sens->Pepto->Playoffs
Brown: Worst contract->Pepto->1st line winger (again)
Campbell: Bust->Pepto->NHL

Etc. Something along those lines where we take a negative about a player, pepto and then something positive. I think when we did the Villains theme we did the opposite.

 

[kovacro]

There is some solid creativity in this thread.

 

[2-4 Slashin]

“Sick of” as the preface?
Sick of east coast bias? Pepto Bismol

 

[rajuabju]

Pepto for champions

 

[kingsholygrail]

Dibs on Brown with two hats.

I like this a lot too. I guess it's similar to "sick of" but this might streamline it a little better. Would help since the avatars are smaller than before.

 

[SlimCharles]

So are we going with the Pepto theme? I'm all for it, it's pretty funny. Plus, as previously mentioned, this might be our only opportunity to use bubble-gum pink avatars!

 

[KingsKnight]

I think so. It has a lot of potential for different ideas and different meanings just looking at what everyone's posting. I'm trying to figure out what the frames should be. I'll see if I can mock up something soon.

 

[Butch 19]

12...14...18?

bad karma here as the next number in the series would be 26

 

[Riposte!]

After last night, avatars of Kings players with hats photoshopped on top of their helmets would be hilarious.

 

[TwzKing]

Well if it's decided I'd like one that has Brown with the hat on, saying sick of the contract. Anyway I can help people that are more tech/artistic let me know.

 

[LAKings88]

I’d like one for Kempe.

Sick of his hair getting in the way.

Or Iaffalo

Sick of his puck thievery.

 

[KingsKnight]

I tried 4 combos of similar avatars. Wanted some input from everyone. I'd like to keep it 4 frames or less or it gets too long, but if you have a good reason otherwise let me know. The first and third frame would be customizable for each user. The other frames I'm hoping we can decide which way to go.

Questions:
- Love it/hate it? I'm open to suggestions.
- I tried to get the Kopi drinking image in it. What do you guys think? Where should it go?
- What should the overall message be? I tried a couple slogans.

1.

2.

3.

4.

And here are the frames in the gifs above in case anyone has better ideas on arranging them or replacing them:

 

[kingsholygrail]

You know, if you just make the Pepto logo the Kings logo for both it works even better.

 

[SlimCharles]

I like 3 and 4 best. 4 is probably my favorite because the last frame is so clean. Anyone who doesn't know what Pepto is might be confused though.

 

[mrkolice]

personally i don't like the "sick" narrative. it's like an insider joke going a bit too far. the kings are not sick, they win the cups. i'll wear it but i hope you change it.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I like it so far!

The "Frame 1s" are great so far.

The frame 2s--I WISH there was a way to use that retro pepto graphic because its too good, but I feel like we have to have the Kopi drinking it frame in there somewhere or people are gonna be too confused.

3 needs something, but I'm going to have to think a bit about what.

Someone else mentioned they like the cleanliness of the last frame 4 and I agree. Though I also love the home plate on the bottle so I can't decide. I'll have to think about it thoughout the day

 

[KingTrouty]

The pink font really pops out. Reminds me of the film Drive's pink font.
