Tournament Ribbons

With the maximal tournaments in the past I made ribbons for 1st-3rd places. I would be willing to make them again for different tournaments if you guys would be interested here are some of the past ribbons.

The idea's good, but I think you need to make em look more distinctive (ie have each different placing an entirly different colour rather than just a different colour border).

By just changing the border color I am able to keep each tournament separate, but still keep them distinct. Plus If I make a different design for each ribbon, I won't run out of designs one day and the players don't have to remember 3 different ribbons for one tournament... just one :).

Now Maybe if I changed the transparency of each ribbon for each place also, that might work too. 1st Place 100% opacity, 2nd Place 66% opacity and 3rd place 33% opacity .... hmmmm I will play with that tonight and post some test ribbons.

I think length, rather than colour, would work. Gold would be the longest, then silver being medium and bronze kinda small.

The easiest thing would be to have a small logo for each tournie, then put that on a standard gold, silver and bronze background.

The logo dosnt need ot be much, just a stylised version of it's innitials would do.

I could make 30x30 badges with the winners faction symbol in the background so it doesn't cover the actual badge. Depending on how the placing is set up I could make them for different finishing orders. How do you propose I distinguish them from one another ... I was think through transparency (faded) look for the lower placing badges. What are you guys thoughts on this?

I think you need something instantly recognisable as denoting rank, not something like different transparencies where you'd need to go and find out which is which. Size or colour (gold/silver/bronze) would work, even if it's the initials of the tournament that are coloured.
