Keeping it Golden... State of design!

by Tony.psd on Jul 5, 2008 10:00 AM PDT in Golden State of Design

It's been one rough week for the Warriors faithful. Boom going Hollywood happened so fast and I'm still in disbelief. I can only wish the best for Davis and look towards our future with the Dubz whether it be for better or worse. Jokingly, a friend asked me what I was going to do now that BD's gone since 75% of my portfolio had him in it. I got started with "designs after Baron..." since so many of my concepts included him in it and revolved around his lifestlye (the beard, films, music). Moving on, here are a couple fun ideas I whipped up with our current roster... We gots to keep it funky! Jump.

Remember Onyx? I swooped up their first album at Rasputin's bargain bin for a smooth 50 cents and gave the cover a good look. A perfect concept for our bad boys of Oakland. I had to add Marco and Brandon on it to give them some street credibility. The album was so blatantly raw, even the cover title had me busting up! Only on GSoM do we dare flip an album cover with a "W" feel!

This wasn't my favorite Goodie Mob album, it actually took me about a year to actually enjoy it. I remember when I first saw the album cover, my first thought was "sellouts!" At the same time, I still buy vinyl and cd's and one thing I really enjoy is cover art. The concept for this was too funny to pass up so I flipped Barkley as a featured artist alongside Stack Jack, CJ and Barnes. The font change was my favorite part of the concept.

I know... Monta isn't Pac! The idea of "Me against the world" is surefire and a big challenege for Monta to step his game up even higher. Pac's "Me against the world" album is a personal favorite in my collection featuring mellowed out beats from Easy Mo Bee and Shock G. it also has an emotion Pac lacing up some of his finest lyrics.

Had to do it... ODOB! I could never get enough of this album and its cover. I just had to flip it with our boy POB. Bakersfield Zoo! Only on GSoM!

ODOB

to the zoo! great stuff!

and I love that 2Pac album. It may be his best lyrical work, but I think that “Strictly” is highly underrated for Pac

Nice work Tony

Wouldn't O' Dirty Bryant make more sense?

And why even try that angle again with O’Bryant? That game was over a long time ago with Oaktown Funk’s Notorious POB Web Pin. Can’t beat that.

I'm just messing around

The Notorious POB is my favorite webpin ever. I felt I had to defend its honor. Keep up the good work!

Glad to see that you can move on so quickly

and still make awesome designs. Jeez, I go to Germany for a month and we draft another stringbean, Baron Davis runs to the Clippers, and we have yet to resign Ellis and Biedrins. It’s a lot to take. But even though we may be on our way to another 30 win season, I can still take solice in the fact that Tony.psd will still make awesome photoshop pictures!

Hey Z, What the hell you doin in Germany? How about the Sonics moving to OKla? What are they gonna call them down there? You gonna go to the games??

Hahahaha

I was on an exchange program. We go there for a month, and they come to Oklahoma City (I know, of all places) for a month in October. I was there during the European Championship, and it was totally awesome, there’s nothing like it.

Anyway, yeah, I’m psyched about the Sonics coming to Oklahoma City. Because I get to see Kevin Durant? No. Because I get to see Donyell Marshall, a member of the 1998-1999 Golden State Warriors, the team that made me fall in love with the Warriors? Well, a little bit. The real reason is that I’ll get to see the Warriors twice in my hometown, plus maybe an exhibition game!!!! Awesome!!!!

As for the name, the local radio station is in full support of the “Dudes”. Personally, I like the name “Rough Riders”, which could be “Ruff Ryders” also. The Oklahoman (the local crappy newspaper) had a naming contest. I don’t know who won, but the final four was Barons (yes, like Baron Davis….), Thunderbirds, Lightning….and something else. Maybe Rough Riders, I can’t remember. Still, what the team will decide is still completely up in the air.

I’ll buy season tickets. I mean, why not? It’s the freaking NBA in Oklahoma City!!!! I don’t care how bad the team is. This is the moment I’ve been dreaming of ever since I was a kid.

Aha, Wikipedia Always Knows....

A Newspaper contest was held to name the team. the nicknames came down to the final four the Barons, Outlaws, Thunderbirds and the Thunder. Clay Bennett said it will either be the Barons or Outlaws. by popular demand the fans want the colors to be Black and Gold. this is similar to the Baltimore Ravens naming.

I guess we’ll be the Oklahoma City Baron Davises….

"Rough Riders"?

Sounds more like a condom than a BBall team? I’d call them the “Okies” or maybe the “Drillers”” or Widcatters”?

by Skeptic con Urquell on Jul 6, 2008 11:30 AM PDT up reply actions

XD

I guess so.

Okies? Most unoriginal name since the Oakland Oaks.

Drillers? Ah yes, lets associate ourselves with fossil fuels.

Wildcatters? Vs. Bobcatters?

Almost every name has a flaw. Outlaws was an XFL team name. I guess Thunderbirds might work, but it might be offensive. Using Thunder would be in violation of the Warriors mascot.

And Black and Gold? Ewwww….

Blah, this name is gonna be horrible, no matter what….

Oh, and maybe we should stop hijacking Tony.psds thread….apologies, Tony. Totally my fault.
