Empire Skin Rep Symbols? And another question on skins....

[Desperado †]

Empire Rep Symbols - Have some been made?

If not, could we have a competition to make some like we did for the Empire Banner?

Also, I have a question regarding skins.



See those things. Will they be changed for the new Empires skin? Also, would it be possible to have an individual symbol there for each forum (e.g Thema Devia would have a ?, Scriptorium a Quil, Anthaeum a test tube or something)?

It's possible to have as you suggest different forum symbols for different forums, it has been done on some American Football forums to provide forums for each team with the logo as the symbol. However it would be something that Rahl or whoever is designing the skin would have to decide upon, and personally it seems a bit unnecessary since not everything would have a simple symbol so it would look a bit off only included in some areas.

I see. If it causes a lot of bother for little impact there isn't much point.

What about the rep symbols for the Empire skin?

[Augustus Lucifer]

If you want to make some, I'm sure they'd be considered, make sure you know which size it is that is being looked for. If you're after a formal competition, contacting Simetrical or gigagaia would probably be the best course of action, because forum skins are a combination of Technical and Content.

OK. I'll make an attempt, and I'll see if some other people would be intressted in trying and if they are I'll ask Simetrical or gigagaia for a competition.

Thanks Augustus

Is anyone actually making an Empire skin?

Not a full-blown skin change to my knowledge. The Banner Competition gave the impression that Rahl or someone similar would just replace the banner in the CSS with whichever one won the banner competition. I suppose doing the same with rep icons wouldn't be that difficult.

The best thing would be to ask any of those with the "Artist" award, or, see if anyone else is interested in being commissioned to do so and knows CSS.

I don't know how to make skins and don't know how to work forums, but any symbols you need or any 2d art, contact me, and I will have a go and perhaps we could have a competition.

I also remember some talk about renaming things to fit Empire, such as the user titles assigned by the board for post counts and stuff like that.
