Latest custom - BABE Ruth STyle - POLL

Here is the latest mockup...help me decide on playcement of the "BABE RUTH" and the CUT.
Which do you like better

hofautos · Jan 17, 2011

And if makes any difference, it will be displayed side by side the cobb

hofautos · Jan 17, 2011

so far 3 way tie

69MetsFan · Jan 17, 2011

IMHO the cut shouldn't cover any of the images of Babe Ruth. It should be the center piece and be accentuated by the pictures.

wolfmanalfredo · Jan 17, 2011

I voted for bottom, but when the page refreshed and I looked again, by far the right one looks classic

uniquebaseballcards · Jan 17, 2011

I liked the one on the right too. Do the stats make the card too busy/are they too big?

blitzerlover · Jan 17, 2011

I like the top right one the most.

I think it adds some charactor to the card, would look lacking without something there imo

you have to realize the cards are blown up, and the font is not that big.
The cobb is already made, and it looks great...i will show an actual scan of finished cobb in actual size in a moment.
That said, regardless if you think it is big or not, it will be same size as cobb.

hofautos · Jan 17, 2011

this is about actual size, and the numbers are supposed to stand out as their greatest achievements.

Krom · Jan 17, 2011

The one on the right.

My opinion also.

I picked top left. If it is going to be displayed next to the Cobb then the design should mirror the design of the Cobb. Having the Cobb cut right-aligned will make a center-aligned Ruth cut look "off". If they were displayed apart -- the opinion may be different. Just not when they are right next to each other.

Thats a good point, + the cut is right below the name (Cobb) as is the one on the left.

This is my thinking also, but dont quite like the way it feels like the font has to be squeezed below ruths face.
I am thinking to remove the "ghost ruth pic" all together so the cut and name will breathe better.

A_Pharis · Jan 17, 2011

Just see if you can find an era-accurate stadium shot to put behind it instead of the ghosted Ruth pic.

A consideration. Do you want "Career .690 Slugging Percentage" as opposed to .690 Career Slugging Percentage?"

mwheeler27 · Jan 17, 2011

I chose the right one as well.

Both of those cards are beautiful! Well done.
