European Cup 2008 Country-Flag Visio Shapes

June 1, 2008 By Visio Guy 4 Comments

Read Full ArticleWell Visio Fans, June is upon us, the weather is hot, and the UEFA European Cup 2008 is about to start!

Europe is going soccer crazy, and signs of Fußball-mania are everywhere! As I walk around Vienna, it’s pretty hard not to notice these waving from store-fronts and car windows.

Of course Visio Guy wanted to get in on the football action, so we’ve drummed up some rabble-rousing, chest-pounding Visio shapes to fan the flames of nationalistic fervor!

Spice Up Your Euro Cup 2008 Visio Diagrams

Come on, admit it! Your office has a pool going! And then there’s that shiny new colour printer that just arrived…

(Edit: don’t miss our pre-made, automated tournament bracket: European Cup 2008 Auto-Updating Diagram)

Now I know that most of our readers are in the USA, and they are currently more concerned with baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. But soccer-interest is growing in the US, Americans have heard of David Beckham, and we are annoyed that we showed so poorly in the 2006 World Cup.

But more importantly, Americans, like others around the world, won’t be able to resist the temptation to morph a major tournament into a friendly office competition–and the chance to win free donuts for a week at the expense of their co-workers!

So when you set out to create that Euro Cup chart for your office pool, don’t just settle for drab, boring text boxes like this..

…when you can dazzle your peers with eye-popping, toner-burning graphics like this?

We know the choice it clear, so we’ve conjured-up a set of 16 Visio shapes that combine a country’s outline with its flag. The shapes have a bit of “wave shading” to add a bit more flag-effect, as you can see in the Germany shape above.

And if you are digging those star-bursts, highlights and lens-effects show above, you can get them here: Lens Flare & Highlight Shapes – Bling Bling!

    VisGuy!

    This is SOOOOOOOOO kewl!!! And believe it or not, there are Americans that embrace European and Global Football.

    Please tell me you did similar shapes for WC2010, I need to make a decent bracket poster.

    Keep up the great work!

    Cheers,

    Raoul

    Hi RD,

    You might be interested in the bracket-diagram I made for US college basketball’s Final Four earlier this year: NCAA Final Four Interactive Visio Tournament Bracket

    The problem is that it isn’t very easy to edit these things for new tournaments. I haven’t figured out a good way to do that yet, and these things were a lot of work.

    I will probably put together a template for the World Cup 2010, and the flags will use a technique similar what is described in this article: Visio Film Strip Shapes: Hurray for Hollywood!, fyi.

    Hi, did you ever extended the library with more country shape flags, such as Canada?

    With kind regards,

    Richard
