We need an actual awards. We need an actual awards. Some examples are ribbons, medals, statuettes, trophy...

The something simple and 12x12 is the requirement.

No way we can do 15x15?

Host


Mentor


Samaritan


Presenter


You really have to enlarge the hell out of them to see what they are (TILTED across the top in braille, then the award name in braille, split up where necessary, and a monogram.

Cynthetiq

what does the 15x15 look like?

MSD

Like that, but with spaces between characters (16x16 would be ideal.)

I don't actually have any, and the ambien is making it increasingly hard to do anything. I'll get some together tomorrow evening.

Halx

How about simpler.. more symbolic rather than literal?

Ok, I'll bite.

The 12 x 12 constraint is really hard to do...these are 15 x 15.

Kept it very simple and clear...it may still be too literal but oh well...never done this before heh. Was cool to try.

Tilted Host(ess)



Tilted Mentor



Tilted Presenter



Tilted Natural



Stumped for Tilted Samaritan though.

Cynthetiq

you must be using the themes with backgrounds that are white :P

I checked them against all the themes and they are still interesting as is.

Okay Logan and tippler are the testers... anyone else posting here that isn't staff will be tested on as well...

For Natural, a tilted bar would do.

For Mentor, one full sized palm with a smaller white palm of contrasting color inside.

That last one is awesome, Jinn. Very cool.

Pfft. Look at all the guinea pigs.

I have no artistic talent, so I can't help. I'm just here to point and laugh.

It'd make an interesting game of internet tag.

Nice work with the badges.

I think they look great. Maybe have a link to a page that explains the awards?

Jinn

My take on the "Samaritan", helping 'clean up' the boards. I know it kinda looks like a banana, but it's actually a broom.



Much easier to use Photoshop at home then MS Paint at work.

I like it, Jinn. I can tell it's a little dust broom. Very nice and clever.

I will post one once I've gotten the graphics down. I've gotten the coding down, I believe I've gotten the staff process down. I just need a couple more things to put into place like that thread.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to do it tomorrow or Monday.

Sorry, Jinn, banana was not the first thing I thought it looked like.

It looks like a penis with a tongue.

forgot to mention that if you hover over the graphic it explains the award, and if you click on it, it takes you to this thread. Again this is just a test, but it will in the future take you to the appropriate thread that explains the awards.

I was thinking severed flaccid penis after you mentioned it.... John Bobbit Award

I vote a pac-man award be added to the list!

Does not read at all on my forum skin, which has a white background.

little_tippler

yeah I figured it might not work for all the skins...I use one with a dark background...though this white thing is neat

But, the ideas are there. Colours can be changed easily. I'd do more but I'd need some feedback first.

Okay I've been holding out on comments as I'm hoping that other artists will also post.

so far, few takers.

Tip... i'll ask the staff for comments and post in a PM to you.
