I hear that because it was leaked early, the team name is now the Arizona Snake Bites. The helmet features Jake Plummer half swallowed by a Rattler...

 

[Jttsaz]

I know...I do wonder if somethings afoot...I don't see why they should be mad...It just makes me more excited for the PC tommorrow!

 

[DieHardCardFan]

Yeah they may have just saw that it got cracked and didnt want the "official" board to be a part of it getting out.

 

[DieHardCardFan]

Hahahaha

I put this on the duplicate thread...

So in the name of balance:

Back up now...was down for several minutes...

I doubt they are mad. What would have made them mad if there hadn't been all this frenzied effort to get to the bottom of this thing. And the bird leaking out the night before the press conference might have been the best part of all. And we still don't know how its all going to come together. As far as generating interest in this team in January, this couldn't have gone any better.

Hey RV, you know I usually see eye to eye with you but when you say generating interest, generating interest from who? Really no one that I know outside of these message boards has any clue about any changes with the Cards ect, and they could care less. The only people that are "buzzing" about this stuff seem to be the ones that were gonna be there, support and spend $$ on this team anyway. Us. Who besides the already faithful do you see having been made interested?

The only people the Cardinals front office should be mad at are the designers of that animation...why they would embed a vector graphic in a Flash file and NOT think that we would figure out how to extract it, is just plain ignorant.

I do this all the time (take vector logos out of Flash files)...it's a pretty simple trick...my wife watched me do it...it took me all of 2 or 3 minutes total.

If they wanted the logo hidden, they should have just taken the portion that showed in the egg and only embed that.

They did this on purpose. They wanted the logo to get out to make even more buzz for the uniforms. There is no way that anyone with half a brain and computer knowledge would put that logo in that flash unless they wanted it to be seen.

You just might be right.

I tend to agree.... why would they spend all the money in keeping this thing a secret for so long, and then let something like a cheap flash animation get cracked UNLESS they wanted people to find it.

 

[Espo]

I actually think its smart because now you want to see the jereseys and helmets even more than you did yesterday. Plus its a nice thing for the diehards sense they wanted to see the logo so bad. It's the "keep them wanting more" mentallity. They reward the diehards and keep them interested and excited.

Why did the Colts have shirts saying AFC Champion on their website before they played the Patriots? Mistakes happen. I can believe that it was done on purpose but I could see how it was a simple oversight as well.

can you teach us that trick?

 

[100%CardsFan]

I am thinking the helmet is gonna be a different color cause why would they put a white trim on a white helmet?

The way I do it - and others may have different methods - is to have a way to print a document to .PDF (Adobe Acrobat Professional has a PDF Maker). Then, open up the .PDF in a graphics program (I use Adobe Illustrator). All of the vector (scalable) objects are in there. I just deleted the "egg" portions of the file, along with the old logo stuff...
