style='vertical-align:middle' alt='https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsoccer/Emoticons/SSL_Logo_20px.png' /></div> As some of you might have noticed, the league has received some new graphics courtesy of <a href='index.php?showuser=30' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-6'>@Thunder39</a>. This is all part of a bigger league rebrand that we are launching for the upcoming season. For starters the SSL will have a new logo and color scheme. Keeping with the blue from the inaugural logo, with a slightly darker hue, the golden yellow is added to the palette, which is finished off with a clean white color. <div align="center"><img src='https://i.imgur.com/FvFJ0Ac.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /></div> The league will also see some actual trophies for the SSL Cup and the, now named, SSL Founders Shield. <div align="center"><img src='https://i.imgur.com/029kj2x.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> THE SSL CUP <img src='https://i.imgur.com/KN3OEp5.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> THE SSL CUP LOGO <img src='https://i.imgur.com/J0lhY0C.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> THE FOUNDERS SHIELD <img src='https://i.imgur.com/NVPYQZq.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> THE FOUNDERS SHIELD LOGO</div> Starting in S2 you will also see some new Matchday graphics that follow a similar theme. <div align="center"><img src='https://i.imgur.com/SMkasZx.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> LEAGUE MATCHDAY <img src='https://i.imgur.com/Bz91xvr.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> SSL MATCHDAY <img src='https://i.imgur.com/osPpfEx.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> FOUNDERS CUP MATCHDAY </div> From Thunder: I am really happy with how the graphics have been coming along. I think the new logo brings a more traditional football style crest to represent the league as we look forward to S2 and watching the league grow. I love hearing everyone's feedback so if you have something to mention about the league and its direction graphically, just shoot me a message on Discord! Finally we are putting the final touches on the SSL Rulebook and are currently talking about some details with the team managers before implementing the new rulebook for S2. / The BoD
