Not especially. I'm messing around a bit and thought I'd use my attempt as my sig.

The Datum and reference system are fine. It's the map projection that isn't.

Give me a link to a free USA shapefile in your favorite projection and I'll be happy to change it. To be honest, I thought you were commenting about the "projection" of JMU being in the conference and I was being a smartass with my reply.

Keep in mind a few things.

1) I've only included football playing schools, but its easy to add the rest if it was a desire.

2) I did not include any future projections that have not accepted invites (that is also easy to add).

3) I'm thinking about changing his number to represent the year (thoughts?)

4) Naturally I'll replace the Sun Belt logo with the new one once the rebranding is finished.

Don't leave all that empty space. You gotta fill your void, man.

The Negative space is good, especially for a background because people like to store files and folders on their desktop, that way they can do that and not have them sitting on top of the image. Thank you for your input though, I'll take it into consideration, something more like this? (The highlights behind the logo look bad that large, I'll have to find a way to fix that)

Can't see the metadata, as I don't currently have arcDesktop installed, but it should work alright. Sorry to split hairs, but the proper projection does wonders with appearance. I think your wallpaper will look much better in a new projection.

Here's my first attempt. GO SBC!!!

This OBVIOUSLY isn't your first rodeo.

No... I do this for a living. However, I will never claim my own work to be better than someone else. I just did it for fun (needed a distraction from work today).

I do it for a living too. Sometimes for Troy, most of the time for the newspaper in Ozark.

Awesome! Random Fact: I was in LAX once and there was a ton of commotion a few gates down. Turns out Megan Fox was making her way onto a plane. I didn't see her though.

Yeah, I've been meaning to change that. Not a huge fan of Megan Fox, at least since the last four years since I updated my profile, haha. Changes coming soon, stay tuned.

You should design some more stuff for Southern. I find myself disappointed by some of their web designs and videos. I hope they hire some professionals like you for design and video. Our video quality for hype videos need some serious work, but I think its mostly the programs and equipment they use though.

Somebody should do a mobile one because people have those phones and stuff.

We have a app called Eagles GATA. Its ok, not really kept up to date and has a lot of kinks that need to be worked out.

I mean a cellphone wallpaper. Something that looks good on a smaller screen.

If I win, I'll format a bunch of them for different size screens, once I finish the final layout.
