Y, I prefer your first submission to second.

But every submission in that thread looks amazing

[Finlander]

Very nice work everyone.
@Prometheus: I like your first 2 the most over the 3rd. Also, the Gaming Staff should have a orangeish colour.

Thankyou , I found a lot of discording opinions ,claims and so on on color. Coding , icon imagery etc , so I provided the generic look and feelof the badges , theycan be easily fixed refined , upgraded and adjousted later on easily once the final choices are done eventually .

[StealthFox]

Just something to think about. If you have two similar sets you may have a lot of people who like your style but you might divide the vote and end up with neither winning. It's going to be an incredibly hard choice! There are so many great entries I'm seeing!

[PROMETHEUS ts]

Can different J Washinghton or Stalker images be used as alternatives?

[StealthFox]

You can go ahead and try it. We can hammer out a detail like that at a later date.

Stalker

If you notice, it should be from STALKER movie, not from game.

Thanks MD, you are not the only one. It's funny I thought people would like the second since it matches the main logo for the Rome 2 skin, but everyone who has seen the two sets likes the first. Since we have had badges in the past with secondary images to represent the "rank" it seems any set that doesn't have a secondary image just won't do. I think a simple but well designed set of badges would look more "official" than having the cartoon character hanging off the side. Of course this is a gaming forum so we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. Also! Who cares what I think. lol I'm just the monkey with the paint brush.... now back to the drawing board.

A request for artists: please make the background light, with the text dark and the contrast extremely clear.

[Finn]

I remember there being a lot more entrants in the old submission thread....hopefully well get a few more in the next week.

Prometheus, I say your Mosaic-Marble is the best. However if the round marble frame (not the tag frame) have patterns like the mosaic, so it looks like historical painted marble, it would be even better.

Regarding the Administrator badge, is it allowed to change the text from Hexagon Council Administrator to just Administrator?

Later edit: wrong thread...

[StealthFox]

You can do it as a test, but keep in mind you may be asked to change it back to incorporate the full Hexagon Council Administrator.

Since the site has been experiencing some difficulties, I'm considering extending the competition. What is everyone's thoughts on this? I could extend it until Sept. 3, when Rome II comes out as you all may be playing that instead of doing graphics work. Or, I could extend it a bit further maybe to that Friday (Sept. 6) or the following Monday (Sept. 9). That way you all may get inspiration from the game and perhaps even use some in-game assets. Thoughts?

[ElvenKind]

Hmm, that would be a wise thing to do.. maybe extend even til 9.

[Maximinus Thrax]

It would probably be better to extend the submission period until September 3rd. Perhaps you could also PM the rest of the competitors from the first round (June I believe?) and inform them that the contest is back on.

I don't know how usefull woudl it be extending after all its not that in 2 days more anything different will pop out so far , for me the best was to extend the number of submissions allowed and not the number of days .
The coolest woudl be to have the new badges the same day of RTWII release , that woudl be cool . But impossible because this competition was delayed too much time waiting for that skin .
