Here are the originals:
And here are the potential replacements (exactly 70x16 ... the very same dimensions though the enhanced detail means they are roughly twice the paltry 1.5k size of the originals):
You can see the drop-shadow below the stick and anti-aliasing on the corners really makes these look amazing.
I've also had a silver border added. My recommendation would be:
0-49 Fresh Reacher
50-99 Junior Reacher
100-199 Senior Reacher
200-499 Expert Reacher
500-749 Silver Boarder
750+ Gold Boarder
Thus still yielding our most prolific poster, Bart, his Gold Boarder. With GIF or PNG files, we can add very slight animations as well. A subtle sparkle can be added to the Gold Boarder, for example, when a poster reaches 1000 (giving Bart something to aspire to!).
Who would I talk to about getting these installed into the system? This is an amazing site - and looks professional all-around with the exception of these rank badges which have always looked a bit rough. I think this small change (which was a non-trivial amount of work for the graphic designer) would go a long way to improving the site (cosmetically anyway). It's the little things that add up!
As an aside, there still hasn't been any traction on the FavIcon we had designed many months back. The forum section still has no favicon. My browser weeps gently at night - crying itself to sleep
We've never been able to get platinum right over on RPG Geek. Partly because of the light background we use. We've generally stuck to Copper, Silver and Gold as our primary color levels.But if you would rather have Gold followed by Platinum that's fine.
