Custom Rank Revamp

[Trip]

I noticed the ranks are sometimes not very legible. I also thought it might be good to go with the dark blue on the forum headers to keep it uniformed. I tested with two variations;

Anti-Aliased (smooth):





Pixelated:





All are the same size as the originals and set as .gifs with white mattes to blend in with the headers.

What have you, ladies and gents? Easier to distinguish? Each has their custom rank's border too. I'd be more than happy to devote a lot of time to reformat them all the way you'd like if I could get the post count for each rank. If you have an idea of what would look even better, lay it on me as well.

Totally. The ranks make me see double-vision. Great work trip.

Good stuff. I like these a lot. The current ones are good, I just don't like the font much.

That's what was bugging me :/ the letters stick too close together in their pixelated form. I'm leaning towards the anti-aliased look so no one will have ulcers over the same thing.

like they would :blink: I dont have a job as of yet, so I get to be a nit picker. :3

Well, I made the first ones, and I totally like yours more, so they should be introduced

[Drknecro]

I like your anti... something one better then the pixel

I also like the anti-aliased version. Much easier to read than the current.

[tweedles]

i vote anti-aliased.

OFFTOPIC: on a related note, they should change GB's font to something else, hehe.    

[Camden]

Yeah, anti-aliased is definately much better.

I vote anti-aliased too.

As far as chaging the forum headers, that would also mean changing all the custom made buttons and such that everyone has worked on, plus all the little ones that haven't.

[masterofme]

I would go with the anti-aliased, too. Any idea when we can get these changed?

[tweedles]

btw, to the GBGL team nice new buttons! and the newpost/old graphics on the site. cool.  B)

Credit to Quik for the buttons under the Banner, and to Aroon for the New, No New, and Nav buttons.

TRIP, anytime you wanna do them. I will send you the list of ranks via PM.

Take heed though, if you look close, the post headers change every other post, off-white, to white, etc.  So they would probably need to be transparent.

Today would be nice. Seems like I'm the only Graphics head that isn't a mod and unable to reach this info 6_6

I had masterofme send me the rank table the other day, but I forgot to save the AIM logfile with him >< a PM would be great.
