Since the creation of the web page for Tom Bowl X we have created special banners for each game. Below is a display of all the banners used since Tom Bowl X.

Tom Bowl X |
Now this banner is all about excitement. What set this apart was the use of a special technique which involves using a slightly larger font. |

Although we never realized this beforehand, the banner for Tom Bowl XI looks a lot like the banner for the logo gallery which is interesting to us for some reason. We also think its ugly. |

Simple straightforward metallic letters. The Tom Bowl XII banner is a classic. Note the use of 3D shadowing and how for some reason it gets thicker the further the letters go. We aren't sure why that is and we don't like it.. |

There isn't anything really interesting about this one. It's very symmetrical and rather brownish. But we like it well enough. |

The banner for Tom Bowl XIV is bigger than most. It's also the first to have a big black blob around it. It gives it a neat depthy kind of look on the PC. At least we think it does. |

We wanted something nifty and kind of throw backish to commemorate the 15th Tom Bowl. We aren't sure if we succeeded. |

This is our favorite logo we ever came up with and we felt exceedingly proud when we got to see it on national TV when it was used by CNN Headline News as part of their coverage of Tom Bowl XVI. This was also the year we quit using Word Art for our logo and started using Corel Draw which we think is pretty evident. We were also excited about how we were able to work the subtle "3" into the logo because of the three way game but were not sure it was all that subtle. The first version of the logo didn't have the three or the helmets. |

This logo was the result of the first annual Tom Bowl Logo Contest where fans were invited to make a game logo for Tom Bowl VII. This logo appeared in the Sporting News so it was shown (although very small) in a national publication. We like this logo for its simplicity and its use of a football. Really, the football graphic makes this the first logo we ever used that contained a tangible recognizable element (whatever that means, sounds impressive). |

Big blocky powerful. That sums this one up. Yes sir. Gotta love Impact as a font choice. The beam across the middle. It's all about bolditivity a word made up just for this logo design. |
