FREE Twitch Graphics, Banner Labels And Screens

Yes you read right, FREE Twitch graphics.

I had some free time recently and thought I would create some 'generic' graphics for use with game streamers, namely Twitch.

I've visited many streams over the years and most of the time I think to myself "wow their graphics look horrible" (like something drawn in M$ Paint that took all of a minute to create).

I've also tried to google 'free twitch graphics', and saw/found that any good ones are hard to come by (at least in my opinion), or if they are good, they cost. Most that I saw were very plain/generic (2 solid colors), or bad pattern/layout or bad color scheme, etc.

None-the-less, I have created some graphics that are 'generic', but more appealing to the eye than most (I hope). I left the color scheme very subtle and mostly kept it to a white/black/grey/translucent theme, although the hint of color within (default is a blue/grey) is easily changeable via hue adjustment. The font used is clean/simplistic with a hint of shade and a solid border.

I have created as many generic banner labels as I could possibly think of, as well as creating a few 1920x1080 'screens', namely 'starting stream', 'be right back', 'intermission', 'ending stream' and 'stream offline'.

Anyway... here are the graphics (free to use, but please include the 'graphics by soulkobk' banner on your page). Whether on a white, grey or black page background the banners look nice and clean.

...am I missing any banner labels? or want a custom one added? let me know via social message (twitter/discord/etc)

And here are the screens (please keep the graphics as-is, do not modify them in any way)...

Stream Screens

 

You can also see/download them here

*Note that the 'pink' sections of the above graphics are 'chroma key' sections (usable within OBS) to make it translucent so that you can place a web cam or such behind it. One of them is a 4:3 ratio, the other is a 16:9 ratio.

Please also note that any 'custom' adjustments (color changes, custom additions, text changes, etc) to these screen graphics will incur a small charge to do so. Again... please do NOT modify any of the graphics in any way.

I have also created a Twitter/Twitch banner in the same theme should anyone want one, but this will also incur a small charge. The example is below...

Whatever the case, I hope that someone finds these graphics of use, as it would be nice to see them used (be sure to pm/link me if you do use them, so I can check out your stream).

Thanks, and I hope they will be of use.

Until next time.

Gaming 4 Gamers, New Logo Creation

I was approached recently by G4G aka Gaming 4 Gamers clan to "create a logo that will look good on a tshirt".

Here's a look at the completed logo before the explanation...

completed logo (round) no text

After a week or so of brainstorming, I thought a black/grey/white color combo would go well, as then it could be put on any color tshirt... so I got to designing something. After a few revisions and enhancements... the below is what I originally came up with.

logo on white background

logo on black background

After another discussion with G4G and wanting some changes to the logo, the below logo was the next revision...

logo after the subtle changes

I then also created one with lettering as well as a round variant due to 'wanting it to fit discord' so I came up with the following... (as below).

revised logo with text

round logo variant

round logo variant with text

The design is symmetrical with a base of black with white highlights and grey-scale 'shine' similar to a metallic (brushed aluminum) surface. As most logo's, it consists of a G and a backwards G (which most see initially as a P... but it's a logo, not text). Then there's the four vertical lines, which of course represent the '4' in G4G.

The way in which I have designed the logo allows for an easy change of hue in order to colorize the logo to any possible color... examples below.

logo colorized

logo colorized and inverted

All in all, I spent a fair amount of time and effort in creating this logo, so I hope it now gets used to brand G4G, aka Gaming4Gamers.


Like what you see? Want something designed for yourself or your clan or company? Feel free to contact me via any of my social media so we can discuss further.

Thanks for reading.

myBB, Custom Gaming Clan Community Forum Example

So I've spent the last few weeks dabbling in the realms of web hosting, specifically a forum for gaming clans, that being myBB with a custom theme.

I wanted to attempt at creating my own custom forum, as I had never attempted it before. I chose myBB as a base due to having used it within the gaming realm before and I quite liked it, although it was all front-end, and not anything involving customization or administration. As I always do... I jump in the deep end, and hopefully stay afloat... and yes, I did stay afloat. I got a web hosting presence, set up myBB and a base theme then customized it a lot. Layout, icons, text, etc etc etc were changed, custom pages added, custom widgets (donate, gametracker, teamspeak, discord) all themed to the base theme.

You can check out my creation below (screen shot) which is based upon the gaming clan "Total Annihilation Gaming" to which I am a founder/administrator there. The [TAG] color scheme is green/yellow, to which all the graphics shown are also my own creation (yeh, I can kinda do it all, hehe). Anyway... check it out below.

 

Here is a FULL SCREEN example

Had a look? What did you think? I'm quite proud of what I accomplished in very little time... as I thought manipulating the code (HTML and CSS) would have been more difficult than what I encountered.

None the less, what I am presenting as an example (as above) I am now offering gaming clans that want a web/community presence, but don't want to pay-the-earth for it. Yes it will cost you, and pricing will also depend on if you want the 'whole package' or just a myBB 'theme' or such.

If you or your gaming clan is interested, I can provide the following (based in the USA) for an up-front cost as a package deal...

  

+ WWW Domain name (.com/.net or such)
+ Unlimited sub domains (based on your domain name)

+ Unlimited storage
+ Unlimited bandwidth
+ Unlimited email addresses (based on your domain name)
+ Unlimited MYSQL databases (myBB uses 1 database)

 + Automated R1Soft daily backups

+ myBB installation and set up

+ Custom myBB theme (created by me)

and if needed as an extra...

+ Custom graphics

(check out other links on my blog for examples of my graphic design)

or I can use existing graphics that you already have.

The pricing I can offer is very competitive and is close to half price of what IPS (Invision Power Services) costs per month (which seems to be the go-to forum base for start-up gaming clans).

See what you like? Interested in checking out the LIVE forum? Want something created for yourself or your gaming clan? Send me a private message via one of my social media accounts via my links on the front page of my blog and we can discuss things further.
