[req] dude icons

btw, the dudes they dont look like the have a crown... they look like they are destinctly missing the crown a la hanibal lecter.

except this time he thought that it would be prettier if he cut it open in a zig zag

but licho... to horiffy people is so much more fun!

yea dat works ^.^

my guy should look like this

There's a flea of pink on your nose, ddaba. Tell pink to selfD it.

Chevron proposal:



Colors are easy to add then.

I figured out imagemagick enough to colorize in batch, so tweaking or adding new colors is minimal work. My rankings here don't need to be official yet.

Copper:


Bronze:


Silver:


Gold:


Diamond:

Nice, nice.

Gold could be more yellow for a more shiny feel.

For "pretty" reasons i would swapp copper and bronze. Bronze looks like less nice to me.

Brilliant.

I think the symbols from bronze to diamond should get progressively glossier in order to look more unambiguously 'better'.

Copper 0 - 1300
Bronze 1300 - 1500
Silver 1500 - 1700
Gold 1700 - 1900
Diamon 1900 - infinity

That isn't a problem so much. I already tried to tackle this before; I can make the parts as inkscape layers and then export in batch mode.

The real trick is to make anything comprehensible at 16x16, and still look 'good' in a way that immerses the player. The most efficient way would be to just literally use small numbers, but that isn't as fun.

I can give it another look though.

Thanks all for the feedback. I have been using this page as a baseline: http://code.google.com/p/zero-k/wiki/LevelRankBadge
(Where the idea originated from anyway)

So the next step is to also have faction-based banners behind insignia for the website. Kind of like it currently is now, except instead of red for everyone it will be your faction color. So I'll be tweaking colors as suggested, but also in a way that nothing clashes too terribly with banners also.
