Member Badges/Stars
« on: March 22, 2010, 12:55:56 AM »
I have been looking for a better alternative than using stars to display member rank and higher positions. Its been sugggested to me and I am considering badges similar in concept to this. I think it might be cool to have a design similar to TWC graphics or using some sort of style like that. So I would like to open it open to suggestions/ideas/comments and anyone who might want to try creating a sample design!  :biggrin:

How about these?  I wasn't sure if the star section was a set height so here are two versions:
-Also, I figured the stars and background colors could be changed with the category you are in, i.e. member, admin, meteorologist, etc.

Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't realize that you wanted feedback.

I really like those stars.

This is what I have so far. I've only made badges for regular users as of yet, but the badges for users with special titles will be very similar to the TWC titlebars (just much smaller! ;)). This is just the subtitlebar, chopped off from the titlebar. I had to make it dark because it wouldn't show up worth a crap if it were to use the exact colors of the subtitlebar. I'd appreciate comments...thanks!

Both designs by Mark and Jonathan look good.  Maybe we can work something out after the forum merge is completed. :yes:

Jonathans designs are really cool. :biggrin:

Whether we use his design or something else, I think we should have some type of badge rather than the traditional stars. :yes:
