Shabber Posts: 9 Joined: 2026		Thanks zag, appreciated. I'm happy to take this on. I already have an image pipeline that generates matchup graphics, so I can produce full sets for NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB at 1280x720 ( or other format you want) away team on the left, home on the right. A few questions before I start, so I build it the way you want: 1. Map reuse: Will strThumbAlternate use the same league map as strThumb, so one upload per matchup carries forward to future events with the same name? That would make it one image per home/away pairing (about 3,700 across the four leagues) rather than one per game. 2. Uploading: Until the API supports uploads, is browser automation through the site OK for a bulk run of this size? If you'd rather take a zip named by matchup (e.g. HomeTeam_AwayTeam.jpg) and import it on your side, I can deliver it that way instead. 3. Style: Any rules you want followed? I’m a designer of 35 years and did the MLB THE SHOW packaging and over 150 video game packages/ads/tv so I can design my own or something you want. Lmk. zag

I'd imagine its mainly useful for the major American sports. Curswine has ways of automating the artwork upload I believe. So just a zip with all the artwork would be enough, I'm guessing by event name or event ID?.

Shabber Posts: 9 Joined: 2026		OK. I built an app that can create these farily easily. Link below to a PDF with 4 quick designs for NFL. I am using SVG on everything to get the best quality and can output for jpg/png/??. I could build the to the poster/square or any other size you need as well. Output can be for US or international layout (home team first or second) and your naming setup. There is a ton of customization available. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/6wnae61sgyq9z939hxzqc/4-layouts-contact-sheet-2026-10-22.pdf?rlkey=eb4tlcgkftk3zbstgrt2vbp6z&st=uk2vflcn&dl=0

Shabber Posts: 9 Joined: 2026		The colors are all from the teams official colors. Primary, secondary and more.

Shabber Posts: 9 Joined: 2026		So you want copies of the current designs but with switched teams? If all of the matchups are done would you already have those just named differently? I based the ones I did on banners nbc, cbs, fox and the nfl have used.

Shabber Posts: 9 Joined: 2026		Ill do this. I will make a simple vertical split with primary color backgrounds and the league logo middle bottom middle. Ill give you NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL and MLS. each file will be team names like DEN_GB and GB_DEN for every matchup (2 files). You can then use those for both the US and International options and all of those sports will have the same design. I dont have any current sports projects but for this design work, can I get the lifetime single developer membership? Will prob not use but I might come up with something in the future. LMK if that works for you and Ill move forward.

I think its the swapping of the primary colour with the secondary colour in 2 and 3 making them look weird. So you want copies of the current designs but with switched teams?

Shabber Posts: 9 Joined: 2026		um not really doing for a key but thought it would be a simple ask. if you can do it yourself, no problem. I was offering a overall design or whatever you wanted as I felt your images could be better. Cheers.

You never mentioned anything about 'the images could be better', just that you wanted the artwork displayed as away team at home team. If you don't want to do it without being reimbursed then don't.
