iPhone4 - NFL Wallpapers - All 32 Teams

It's not glow. It's a radial gradient from transparent to black over a solid layer of team color. The team logo is then placed on top of those two layers.

Regardless of what it's called, some of the chosen background colors covered by the gradient mask are too dark, and as viewed on my iPhone 4, look like a solid black background. Especially the Bears, Texans, and Packers; from most apparent to least. This problem is not as apparent on my H-IPS calibrated display, save for maybe the Bears. The target device and audience should always be considered for any successful design. I just thought I might mention it, as the gradient consistency between wallpapers seems lacking for the above mentioned examples.

Thanks for making these. Though I must say, as a Chiefs fan, I doubt I'll be rocking these any time soon. They consistently depress me. Maybe in another year or two.

I appreciate the feedback. I've updated the zip file with both versions. Here is the link again: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6688660/iPhone 4 NFL Wallpapers.zip



Here you go:

I probably won't be doing any MLB wallpapers anytime soon. These NFL ones are enough for now and I'm still working on College Football ones back in the iPhone 4 Wallpaper Thread.

My Flickr has been updated with all of the NFL wallpapers (with NFL logo and no NFL logo). For the sake of this thread I'm not going to post all the pictures without NFL logos. You can either download the zip file or you can go to my flickr page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/krislegg/) and download the individual ones you like.

Any chance I could sweet talk you into removing the logo from the ravens pic?

Either way, much thanks man...You are AWESOME!

You're correct, the target device and audience should be considered and if I was being paid for these I might consider spending more time to fix the couple of teams which don't look as good as some of the others.

As far as gradient consistency goes, the only inconsistent factor is the difference in primary team color between the teams. The gradient layer used is the same layer used in every other wallpaper. A darker color is obviously going to blend more naturally with the black so the gradient may look to be of a different size. Some of them also may look worse based on the brightness of your iPhone display.

Overall the problem is with the team colors which I have no control over. Could I create a new design that didn't cause these problems? Probably.
 
I used paint to get rid of the NFL logo. Other than that it looks great. BTW, that is the old NFL logo. They changed to the 8 stars at the top last year I think. Go Ravens!
