so... i'm trying to stir up some interest in hooping in buffalo (where, as far as i can tell, i'm the only hooper)
i was wondering if anyone had some hooping graphics? i did a bit of googling, but i've yet to come up with something just right. i was hoping for a nice solid siilhouette of someone hooping. i need something eye catching i can put on flyers etc. and maybe could be a logo, should the buffalo hoop scene take off *crosses fingers*
thanks!!! :)

Re: hooping graphics?
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 10:52 PMIf you want to use the graphic as a logo, you don't want to acquire it by googling it! You want to create something original that no one else is using. If you are looking for a great silhouette of a hooper, I suggest looking through your own photos of hoopers and finding one that has a great shape. Then you can take it into photoshop and cut it out and mess with the levels, or take it into illustrator and trace it and fill it. If you need any help, I'd be glad to assist you.
Good luck!
(And, *of course* the Buffalo Hoop scene is going to take off! It's more a question of when!)

Tue, May 13, 2008 - 12:20 AMHow about a hooping Buffalo?
It wouldn't be too hard to create a picture in photoshop. It's amazing what you can make with a bit of photo manipulation.

Tue, May 13, 2008 - 10:51 AMHey Diane, good luck starting the movement. If you start a Buffalo hooping tribe, please post a link here or the regional hooping tribe thread. I make it back to Buffalo a few times a year and would love to hoop it up. In flow.

I love it Alan. I know I left that on the pic but I just had to say it again.

Tue, May 13, 2008 - 6:19 PMthanks guys! i found some simple silhouettes to use for flyers. but alan, i will definitly be in contact with you in the future! thank you sooo much! once things get started, we'll need a cool logo like that. i love the buffalo actually! and buffalo itself will respond well to it. people round here respond well to logos with buffalos. it's tried and true
