MAGfest Pokemon League Badges

[Ashhaul]

Just Checking on this... I'm pretty sure Matt told me they were made by a co-worker of his. But does anyone have all of the MAGfest pokemon league badge images? If so do you know if we can use them for the ECPL or are they MAGfest only?

They look super sharp and I'd like all of our badges to look similar... If possible do you think we could find out if we could have one made for each of the possible gyms? Sadly, my skills pale in comparison to these fabulous badges... and I really think it would be nice to have all the badges share a similar design. If we can't use them, I may be forced to redrawing all of the badges myself.

I do have them. Taylor said she's fine with us using them as long as Orvie is, and I can't see him having a problem with it. He can confirm this IF HE EVER SIGNS UP FOR THE FORUM. The only other issue I can see is that there isn't a direct correlation between MAGFest Gym Leaders and ECPL Gym Leaders. Sure a decent number of us overlap, but for those that don't, people might not be cool with other people using Badges they helped design. Not to mention ECPL Gym Leaders would probably want their own design anyway instead of using someone else's.

Of those not already added to the forum, Poison, Bug, Steel, and Water all were represented by our ECPL Gym Leaders of the same type. I can send you those at least and talk to Steve (Water) about getting set up here.

*EDIT*  Also sending off Dark, not sure if you've gotten that yet. *EDIT*

I never realized that there was a difference between the MAGfest Pokemon Leauge and the ECPL, but I guess knowing that there was a Fire Gym Leader at MAGfest and not the ECPL should have clued me in. I'm interested to see what the Fighting Gym badge looks like, since I was interested in trying to run that gym.

This was the first year of the MAGFest Pokémon League. Orvie is MAGFest Gameroom staff as well as the Ghost Gym Leader of the ECPL, and it was he who coordinated the endeavor. We were naturally some of the people he contacted when looking for potential gym leaders, but there were plenty of others he reached out to as well. Ultimately, some of the Gym Leaders came from the ECPL, but some were not. Badge designs were specifically created for the MPL with input from each Gym Leader. Some MPL and ECPL gym leaders overlap, and many of them are looking to continue using their new badge design. Others simply have their original ECPL badge design. Since badges are designed by their respective Gym Leader in both MPL and ECPL, there is not yet a Fighting Gym Badge, as the position was open in both leagues.

I'll have to see what I can do to fill that void for both leagues then, lol. Here's hoping I have what it takes!

I loved being contacted to be a gym leader in other social events. Gives me so so so so so many more ideas for this new meta and to meet people who love doing what I am doing! .... I had an amazing time .... I basically have to retrain all of my dragons to make any of them viable this gen..... and it was because of MAGfest that it opened my eyes to see my bad EV spreads .... can't wait to send my eventually new uber pokemon onto the world! HEHEHEHEHE

I FINALLY SETUP MY ACCOUNT GUYS, IT'S COOL.


So yea, the MAGPL badges were setup specifically for those people, I definitely don't mind if those folks want to use their badges for the ECPL as well (especially since I'm planning on having new badges each year for MAGPL). However, if you weren't the person the badge was made for, I'd like you to ask the owner if you can use it. I doubt it would be a big deal but some folks designed their own badges and we just modified their effects to be uniform with the rest of the badge designs (Poison and Fire gyms for instance were original designs by the gym leaders themselves that our artist modified).


That said, I'm sure if we wanted to establish our own style for the ECPL badges so keep them all uniform I think that would be a great idea. I'm sure we have acouple artists in our midst or we can contact the person we used for the MAGPL if you wanted something similar.

Hey welcome to the forums. I really enjoyed the MAGPL, if you ever need a someone to be a Fighting Gym Leader for next year's MAGfest let me know.

We aim to have details up soon regarding the vacant spots.

Stay tuned!

Not sure where us newbie Gym Leaders fit into this whole Gym badge deal, but I do have an idea for a badge and this seems as good a place as any to share it. Basically, I was thinking about making a badge off of this image:
 

I know neither of those were fighting pokemon but when I think of "Fighting" and "Pokemon" I immediately go to this image. As for the name, I was thinking something along the lines of "Arena Badge".

I like that idea!

Thanks I've been sitting on it for a while. I would have said something sooner, but seeing how I wasn't the Fighting Gym Leader back then I didn't think it would be appropriate.
