Opening of the badge Competition

[Thoragoros]

The new ones are nice, but the other ones I pointed out feel less contrived to me. The look more "natural", if such a thing can. The other ones look cheap in comparison, no offence to whoever made them.

Agreed. Still like original Concept 2 better.

The first concept and third just don't 'feel' right. Specifically, I don't like the title names being in all caps.

[Katsumoto]

I've always liked these, made by Guy:







Maybe the font and characters could use changing, but the rest I think is perfect.

[Justinian]

Guy's are beautiful. I like the font, the actual images could be changed a little bit but the font is awesome.

[T.C.]

Guy's are nice also, but the text isn't easy on the eye. More so in the Hex badge.

[Lord Rahl]

I think if the red font was fixed a little I'd go for the newest ones. Atm it's too rich. I'm no artist mind, that's just what I think would help.

Remember that these are just concepts. I can change them once made. If you don't like the red being too...red then that can be easily fixed.

Let's see the moderator ones.

I'll have to see what I can do with that. Maybe use the tiger for mods?

Agreed. Still like original Concept 2 better.

Here's a different Hex concept:

It took forever to make that dragon look decent.

Guy's look nice but they're too big. As far as I know the size limit for badges is still at 175x60. I'd definitely love it if the limit was larger.

Overall decent, very atmospheric.

But must the Citizen's badge be a Geisha? Maybe a Samurai or some such thing? There is Sengoku era 'gentry,' I would suggest switching to that.

Then again, as long as the Artifex badge isn't a Geisah I'm good

[Harry Lime]

I like Guy's font and Frakes' images/background but anyway this is all moot without the approval of Honour & Glory.

[y2day]

Nice badges LR. I think I made a few somewhere. Will see if I can dig them up or create a few new ones.

Ha!

Here's my first attempt at a Citizen badge:

Moderator: Anyone recognize the image?

[Ishan]

Anyone recognize the image?

Using of other people's work!

[Aanker]

Could you perhaps show us your Artifex concept? I remember seeing something in the Content Art Staff forum, but this thread seems more fresh (new).

PS. Oh, wait, silly me, I just noticed it on the previous page. Either way, I like the theme, the only thing being that the glowing metal might need some attention, it doesn't portrude a lot from the background badge, is there any way to replace it with a steaming barrel perhaps (a scene with a weapon smith cooling down his work in water)?

[Lord Rahl]

Sorry for the delay in work lately. I've been a bit busy. Expect more within the next few days. And remember, the more feedback the better. I want to know what y'all like and don't like because I want the final product to be excepted by the community.

[magpie]

I just want to wish the artists involved the best of luck with their creations, Maybe a little more speed lads, otherwise we will be at RTW2 before you know it

[Major Darling]

So... What's going on with this?

[Major Darling]

Any thoughts on how to progress? Or is this another VB4 thing?

[Ishan]

Badges and stuff have been already finalized iirc.

[Major Darling]

So once we switch over forumwise, we change all that?

[Ishan]

Yes i think that's the plan.

[Major Darling]

What badges were chosen in the end?

[Ishan]

I never cared to ask.
