Choose TWC's new Badge set!

That's right! Our talented Graphics artists have provided us with new badge sets inspired by the release of Napoleon: Total War! The set that gets the most votes will move on to the Prothalmos for the official proposal. Now the choices,

Voting will be open for a week, good luck to our contributors!

Voted

for set four

Also traditionally polls havent been allowed in the Curia, but the current rule only limits polls on particular amendments or decisions. Whether to clasify this thread as a decision or not is the curators call I'd guess.

Set #4 is far and away the best! If it's chosen the font could be made a bit more bold, but yeah. My vote is cast.

So let me get this straight in my head, we are voting to choose the set of badges which will be put in a decision to change the badges?

Yep

Why do none of the moderator badges have a ban hammer (or heck a mace)? All of them are either a sheriff's badge (how thats NTW related I'm not sure) or a person.

Maybe "ban hammer" isn't an impression we want to give the members

Perhaps not, but I think it wouldn't cause any adverse reactions none the less, but that concern is why I also suggested a mace. Personally I've always disliked the person on my badge. What did police of the time wear as a symbol of office anyways?

[Nazgûl Killer]

Whoa. Tough candidates. Voted.

[karamazovmm]

Can we have a option of overhaul of the current ones?

the change from persons to symbols? And why there is a sheriff star?

I'm grumpy today i know

[Squid]

And I just noticed an adjustable wrench in the 4th set?

[Hotspur]

I rather like set three. Bold, colorful and easy to read.

[Garnier]

I think 4 is best. 4 is the only one which I would support changing to from our current set.

Though the wrench is out of place (maybe Mr. Spock with a huge napoleon hat?) and am confused why the magistrate has a bigger hammer than than the tribune..

Very difficult to choose, Thanks to the artists for their hard work. I will say I chose a set without whigs.
I like Spiffs badges anyway voted.

The ones I linked to were in place when I joined the site.. I dont actually know who made them (if i had to guess I'd say Lord Rahl). Either way they're awesome.

In saying that though, I did do a set of badges that were used for a while before Medieval 2 came out, I think.



Then again they're not particularly memorable, and were based on the designs of Besim.

[The Noble Lord]

Done and done.

I thought you would have liked this one.

I voted option 4 - the loudness of the others isn't in keeping with the rest of the forum design. I think our current badges are the best of the lot, though, and are actually pretty in keeping with the Napoleon theme (just look at the senior mod & Hex badges, for instance).

[abbews]

Set 4 gets my vote, but the text could be enchanced with a gradient and a border ( I'm looking at you kid )

[Spiff]

Personally Id have the text as black and a bit thicker.. that way they dont have to be redesigned if the staff wanted to change the colour schemes (as has happened quite a lot in the past).

Speaking of which, is there a saved record of the old badges anywhere? I guess all the old ones were deleted from the server whenever a new set was added?

If a few of them are still around i'd like to make a visual history page on the wiki.

EDIT:

oh wait, there already is.
