Tay Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 As a small 'thank you' for community donations (see this post for details), we're opening up a special "badge" on the forums software. It can be changed up to once a month (for holidays, seasons, or the everlasting war between Purple and Pink for #1 most fabulous color), and this thread is meant to be the place for hashing that decision out. June 2015 - First Badge (Ever): Currently we're using this glorious placeholder: , but that doesn't mean we can't change it! Entries are open for anyone who wants to submit a badge mockup (width should be 93px, height should be between 20-25ish). If need be we can vote on a winner. Past Votes: N/A Quote
Kurokusari Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Sorry but I decided to go with blue and not purple or pink. #BlueMasterRace Jokes aside, decided to give it a try since I took a break from reading. Yep, decided to go for a similar style with the current badges for mods/admins for the sake of consistency and not because I'm too lazy to think Sorry Lewy but you're the sacrifice.

astro Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I was kinda thinking something more simple. Along these lines: We should make everyone rock this badge IMO Kurokusari, rainsismyfav, solidbatman and 1 other 4 Quote
Kendjin Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I was kinda thinking something more simple. Along these lines: After the pics I just got in my PM, I might be ok with that badge Quote
Fiddle Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I find that you'll appreciate this innovative design of mine. Tay, solidbatman and Eclipsed 3 Quote
Eclipsed Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Even though people think the staff badges are ugly: Quote
Flutterz Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I don't like the idea of a staff-like badge because I want to be unique because it might cause some confusion. It should be obvious at a glance that it's not a staff badge. Quote
Eclipsed Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Ah, of course. There should indeed be a differentiating difference b/w staff and a donor badge. I vote for Fiddle's badge :3 Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Not a fan of the term "donor" for the badge. "Benefactor" is cool. So is "patron," "backer", "supporter" etc Quote

DatYandereGirl Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Fuwu Supporter sounds pretty good! tfw cannot design a badge. Quote
Nosebleed Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 My attempt Using Rooke as a slave (all 3 themes): Darklord Rooke, Kurokusari, Satsuki and 3 others 6 Quote
nohman Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 My attempt Real nice work. I like the cascading colors. Quote
Nosebleed Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Followed your advice to add more hearts Couldn't add more explosions, though. Quote
Nayleen Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 White outer glow surrounding white text ... Completely illegible even on high-contrast screens, imo. Quote
astro Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 My attempt Using Rooke as a slave (all 3 themes): Those pastel colours really bring out the eyes in Rooke's avatar Tay and Darklord Rooke 2 Quote

Nayleen Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 The problem is exaggerated in the Dark Theme, where the contrast between the badge and the background is just too much, making the text harder to read. Quote
Kendjin Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 The problem is exaggerated in the Dark Theme, where the contrast between the badge and the background is just too much, making the text harder to read. You'd almost think this man had used colour theory in his life. Quote
Fiddle Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Would replacing all the white with transparency on Nosebleed's proposal not work? Quote
Fiddle Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 A'ight, please excuse the double post, but I'm feeling pretty doggone unfabulous right now, so it's time to get started on this shizzle. If you don't think that it looks good on your heathenish dark skin or whatever, I can make the entire background thing transparent. If you call in the next 12 minutes, I'll even make the text outline darker! Want more transparency? Want a different font? Want more saturation? Want a picture of your dad on it? Want less saturation? I don't care! The world is your oyster! The fabulous placeholder has done its job well, and it's time to step down to leave room for something more fabulous. WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE FABULOUSNESS!? I wouldn't mind making a transparent version (or whatever fixes it) of Nosebleed's, either. Eclipsed 1 Quote
Nayleen Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 All of these work fine on both the bright and the dark themes, I prefer the darker outline, though, since it's easier to read. Quote
Eclipsed Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Can I remove my board mod badge so I can get Fiddle or NB's fabulous, fabulous badge? Quote
