When a school is planning to order a new digital scoreboard for their sports field, there are many decisions to be made. The scoreboard can be customized to fit the needs of any school and offers a lot of options for colors, styles and layouts. One thing a lot of schools like to include is a scoreboard logo of their school or mascot.
This logo can help build team spirit with the fans and can be added to almost any configuration of scoreboard available today. This scoreboard logo is typically added to the front of the scoreboard itself and can be created from almost any artwork that the school supplies to the scoreboard manufacturer. This scoreboard logo, along with the school colors will determine the basic color scheme of the new scoreboard and should tie into the theme of the stadium where the scoreboard will be mounted as well.
This scoreboard logo can be added to a graphics package in a number of ways. The simplest way to add a logo is to have the logo painted onto the scoreboard itself. This is a permanent logo that will last for many years without the need for maintenance. This is the most popular way for a team to add a scoreboard logo and can either be part of the main scoreboard, or added as an extra panel to the scoreboard mounting. These logos can be created in any size and color and should be designed to fit into the general dimensions and theme of the scoreboard. Most scoreboard companies have a graphics designer that can help integrate a schools logo into a particular scoreboard.
The advantage of having it mounted on a separate panel is that if it ever needs replacing due to wear or fading, it is an easy matter of having a new panel created and replacing the old one. Even though the painted graphics can last for years, its nice to know if can be easily replaced.
With the introduction of newer LCD screens to a lot of larger scoreboards, many schools are adding a graphic of their logo to the images that they display on this screen. Displaying a scoreboard logo on an LCD screen has the added advantage of being able to be animated instead of just a simple graphic. Some schools have created quite elaborate animated logos for use on these screens and this can really help to motivate the fans. These animated logos can even be made unique for each team a school may play that season and incorporate that team’s logo being defeated by the home schools logo as an animated cartoon. With the LCD displays, the possibilities are endless for a scoreboard logo.
Since the fans have come to recognize the logo of their favorite school, being able to display this logo on the scoreboard helps inspire the fans at game time. Adding a scoreboard logo to your stadium will help reinforce a schools brand and can also help fire up the fans. Every time the fans check the score during a game, they’ll see your schools logo and cheer even harder.
