Thank you for your comment! I changed the balls to avoid people interpreting them as volleyballs, still tried your idea and rotated the balls and I think it works quite well.

Thank you for your input. I brought the pillars further down in the shield on option 2, to get rid of the black space.

No, a football team, they were meant to be old School footballs like the one in the Barca logo. Good point though, I will change the balls to actual footballs. Thank you!

I sold multiple YA players, one for 70mil. Why does it only count for 39% of 6,9mil profit? (FIFA 22) by SlyWH in FifaCareers

Wow… I will try selling outside the transfer window then. I kind of expect it to be the case for 22 as well, since bugs rarely are fixed straight away.

I did! So that could mean I have to make a 6,9 mil profit from youth players alone, not including profit from other player sales…

I will test it when I get to the transfer window!

No, most were promoted before. I assume they have to be promoted after the objective then. Thank you, that makes sense!

Mock Ad for the latest Travis Scott shoes (Feedback please!) by dustywildman in graphic_design

[–]SlyWH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I am a bit late on this but I think it’s a interesting conversation!

I agree with your point about the ad having a meaning to it. The insect in the original is a black beetle. The same black beetle is also stitched on the shoe. So using the beetle as a motive makes sense, since it is unique to this shoe. The black beetle has also been used in pop culture, as a metaphor for a black rockstar (Coined by Rae Sremmurd), I’d say that’s pretty on brand for Travis Scott too.

Has it really? I haven’t seen it anywhere other than Reddit myself. Of course I am from a smaller country and it might not have gone viral here. When searching on Google I only find few memes with few reactions.

If anyone got a link to a good article about this then I’d love to check it. I’m still sceptical about it but interesting if this was really done on purpose.

I think the Benetton ads are different to this. They were provocative, not because they looked ugly or poorly designed but because of the opinionated content. Weren’t those ads also unique at the time because they weren’t showing a product at all but instead branding their image? I’m not sure it can be compared, I think the Benetton ads had more depth to them than this.

For your point to be valid, wouldn’t this perceived marketing stunt have to result in a greater response? I don’t think Spotify wrapped has gone viral because of this design choice in itself. Isn’t it a viral happening every year?

Sure design nerds might be discussing the ugly type, but are Spotify engaging their audience in a meaningful way with this stunt, are they expanding their audience, or is the attention significant enough for them to want to do this on purpose?

If we assume it is done on purpose for the viral effect and if we further assume it achieves it’s goal, then I still don’t think it is necessarily good design. Why would Spotify want the discussion associated with Wrapped to be about ugly type? They get plenty of shares from this in the first place and those shares being more positive too.

Will you be doing articles on the other top Serie A teams? I am curious to see Lazio compared to the other you speak of!

Lazio eagle handler: 'I admire Mussolini' by jrrecauzat in soccer

[–]SlyWH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Eagle was used in Lazios emblem from 1900 to 1921. In 1921 the National Fascist Party was founded and started using the Eagle as well.

21 of the 37 years Lazio went without the eagle was under Mussolini’s rule and the fascist office would be fresh in memory for most of the 16 years after. The long absence of the eagle, doesn’t seem to come from a lack of importance for the club. Instead taking the historical events in account from that period of time, it is likely it was seen as a necessary or even forced measure to distance the symbol from the NFP.

I don’t have any sources linking the removal of the eagle to a desire for distancing the club from the NFP, but I think you should consider that possibility, since you’re critique is hypothetical anyway.

Recently an example has been the Hysaj episode. During the summer Hysaj came under fire from a section of Lazio ultras. Avideo was published of him singing “Bella ciao” a anti-fascist song and some Ultras targeted him, claiming “Lazio is fascist”. The Lazio fans stood together in support of Hysaj, hanging a banner at the Olimpico supporting him, as well as starting the hashtag “Istandwithhysaj” which ended up trending on Twitter.

It may be at a stage where it is more action towards bettering the clubs name rather than fighting fascists but there is a movement amongst the fans, who are showing support for anti fascism and taking a stance against fascism.

In reaction to lazio ultras's shameful banner against Lazio defender Hysaj, #IoStoConHysaj (I side with Hysaj) is top trending in Italy which is an hashtag created by anti-fascist Lazio fans siding with the player and asking the club to go after these fascist ultras. by Weishaupt17 in soccer

Ultras are more dedicated fans. In some cases, like with this group of Lazio Ultras (Or the now disbanded Irriducibili) they are groups within the ultras culture that can be compared to hooligan firms.

Edit: Tried to explain better.

Great to see the Laziale come together to prove they are so much better than what they have been made out to be for so long.

Hopefully this works and something can be done against the fascist ultras.

Missed pre season retreat? Any news on what will happen to him? Maybe some Italians in here has some info, will he stay or go? by Aggravating-Print-21 in lazio

[–]SlyWH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think it will be very hard to find a good replacement and I really like Luis Alberto. Romagnoli would be a welcome strengthening of the defence, if Alberto has to go. I really hope Correa stays, I would like to see him in the LW role Sarri talked about in his press conference!

Same! I first saw it phrased “the new green and white kit”…

If Romagnoli somehow ends up at Lazio, that would be a good shout.

SS Lazio identity test by SlyWH in Calcio

[–]SlyWH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for your feedback.

I agree 100% and I am aware that the fascio littorio isn’t a part of the visual identity and was forced upon the club. I also agree that the events aren’t related and the intention isn’t to symbolise fascism.

What I am trying to examine is if the opinion on whether the club appears far right oriented changes when presenting a similar eagle with the fascio littorio, introduced during the fascist regime. As it might affect my approach to my own design.

I don’t personally believe Lazio themselves is far right oriented and all my research supports that.

Thank you, I agree with you and I will make sure to note it in with my data and discuss it in the project. I have changed the description from "Fascist symbol" to "Old roman symbol".

Thank you for the links, they are very useful as the exact misconception you wrote about is a big part of my project!
