Title: New Forum Rank Images
Post by: vizioN on February 23, 2013, 12:29:25 PM: Well, it's been a while since we've changed anything visually on the forums, so I took it upon myself to create new and improved forum rank images.

Here's a list of the new images (listed alphabetically):

The logo placement on the old ones definitely looked much more out of place.

Once the new ones are uploaded (awaiting Somone77), I'll update those.

Nice job!

It will work just like before. There's always been badges for DJ and Trial DJ, but they don't show up because they're not your primary rank.
Unless a plugin to display more than one badge is installed (we used to have this), then the badge just won't show up.

I've always thought it was a good idea to reinstall, and fix the multiply badge display plugin, but it was not fixed up due to some people in the developer team now liking the fact that it made the post "size" a lot bigger.

Edit:
On another note, the new picture from the OP has been uploaded and are in place now.

Post by: wakeboarderCWB on February 23, 2013, 02:24:36 PM: They look great! Just one question, shouldn't HL2 Super Admin be HL2RP Super Admin? You could probably decrease the leading of the characters a bit to make it fit, but hey, they look awesome!

That's the only tag at the moment we're unsure how to adjust. It'll definitely be changed soon, but not sure to what.

It'd look nice if the super admin text was longer i think, or it'd just look dumb

Post by: vizioN on February 23, 2013, 03:06:52 PM: The HL2RP Super Admin tag has been adjusted. The height remains the same, but the individual letters have been moved slightly closer to each other to allow room for it to fit on the space.

Post by: smt on February 23, 2013, 03:09:40 PM: That looks okay too
Title: Re: New Forum Rank Images
Post by: Nicknero on February 23, 2013, 04:02:50 PM: Would be kinda odd to see 2 lines of text on the logo, so it looks fine the way it is now.
