... or should I say stickers? SEVA had a nice idea and made us new staff badges based on the Royal Stickers from Paper Mario Sticker Star. [img]http://i.imgur.com/9ApQVJy.png[/img] We liked them, so we thought let's try them out. There are some opportunities that we had to take, too: - The new badges match the color of the rank, for easier identification - There's finally an appropriate badge for Thunder Dragon! Look here and check them out in staff's postbits. What do you think? SEVA is currently working on a set of extra badges that will be revealed along with the upcoming modifications of the competition rules.

Don't worry, even though they look like crowns, we'll not act more like kings than before ;) If you guys absolutely hate them though, I still have the old ones, so we can always go back. But I hope that's not the case.

Before and after?

It's beautiful compared to the old ones. Kudos to you SEVA from GOTM badge creator.

At least they stay matching but I feel like the simplicity of the previous badges is lost with these new ones as the old badges were all quite simple shapes. Also, where's the Oldbie, Founding Member or Bowser Tech Associate badge for those of us who've been around for 10+ years? :P

I guess there's a minor style clash here too. Could also be it takes a few days to get used to them. Maybe now that SEVA sees them in action, he has ideas for improvements, so leave your C+C in here :)

Nah those were just names I was throwing out for the same badge. I honestly don't care, though for people like Nite who've pretty much been here forever and neither imploded nor been an asshole over the years, it'd be a nice way to honour the years of contribution.

Could be we even have some unused badge that can be reactivated for that purpose. Let me browse through them tomorrow. I think there's even some unused "Bowsertech" badge...

I like them. I think it's nice that the staff badges are easier to distinguish from the Submitter/Happy Heart/competition badges. The Bowser Tech badge is a cool idea if anyone can find a suitable graphic for it.

Good to see they're up now. They look great. Especially the matching colors makes it much easier to identify which one means what now. However, purple might be confused with Event Leader, but it shouldn't be a big deal.

They look so pretty!

Meh, I think older ones were better but these are good too.

I think these ones look much better than the others.

Yeah, these are nice. I honestly didn't pay attention to the old ones, they just mixed in with everything else.

These look much better than the last set, to be frank.

Looks amazing! Glad the badges got a makeover, and they look...dazzling, to put it loosely. Also, I'm glad a founder badge was added, so nowadays certain--ahem--TD can have an exclusive badge, just like Reteiver II! JOY!!!!! Edit: Other badges? Competition? Like what? Oooooo, the SUSPENSE!

Once again, the members care a lot more about my badges than I ever will. ;P I assumed that "big help" badge was to serve as a stand-in for a founder badge, and, well, there's also that huge honkin' rainbow thing-a-ma-bob that says "founder" on it -- but hey, I ain't compainin'. That crown is pretty nice, if I do say so myself, so thanksssssss.~ As for the other crowns though, I like the idea; but I feel the contrast on them could be upped a bit. I would also suggest adding something of a shine to the colored sections.

^Glad you like it. The golden crown wasn't made with you in mind, we just had all those crowns with different colors and the golden one. Since I don't think the host/webmaster needs to have this special a crown, and RII already has his own "RII" badge, the only user group that was left was "Founder", so I thought, why not :) ([s]Next time you'll log in your name might be in rainbow font :3[/s]) I agree with your C+C of the other crowns. I think that's the one thing that's missing, but then again I am not sure how much that is the fault of the source material used.

I honestly like the previous badges more than the current ones. I can't really say why, except the fact that I liked the previous designs more.

I like 'em. [size=85][b]EDIT:[/b] I've been "informed" this is a two month bump but I don't see why it matters since a.) it wasn't very far down the page, b.) my bump was valid since I want to convey that I agree with keeping the new badge designs, and c.) I replied to a few newer threads afterward anyway, which pushed this thread down the list until LM9 replied.[/size]
