I'm thinking that the skinnier ribbons might be the better choice just for the simple fact that they don't take up as much room. With the ribbons you can get around 7-8 across the sig and 15 rows.

With the bigger ones like those you'll get 10 across the width but only 7 height wise. Also, something that size would start getting in the way of your sig a lot quicker.

Now i'm not saying it doesn't look good because I like the idea, I'm just trying to have a minimal impact on the sig area.

it can be compacted etc. since there's quite some unused space nor are they space optimized.

It was fixxed. These ribbons are quite well done.

-- Matrix Finder (first day holder)

-- Chaos Inducer (one who is determined to have caused the G1 return, "One Bad Shot")

Here are some additional achievements we can consider highlighting (originally from here).

I think the first set looks better personally.
I would recomend this though, have the rank bars over the base picture, rather than along side it, so the overall thing is the same size nomatter the rank.

IE: Image

And no offence neliz, but those look aweful.
You need to at least keep them within the standard 'medal' size that has been used unoffcially for a good couple of years for verious reasons.

Not as such, but a 'standard' size for this kinda thing has developed over the years, and I think it's probably a good idea to stick to it. Especilly if we have to resort to adding them to the existing sig image (as I suspect we will have to in the end).

At a quick glance, those look too much alike, or it could just be my monitor. Looks like the brown/bronze could use just a little bit more lightening up.

The difference between the the 1st and 3rd is only 6 pixels so the difference on a sig bar would't even be the size of another ribbon, so I don't think it would be that big of an issue. Plus moving them in cover's up the ribbon art. But, if you guys/gals want them moved in I can do that easily.

I don't think we necessarily need one for the finder. But, definitely one for the Champion.

Unless there are objections those ribbons are perfect for the additional achievements (although I don't see the difference betweeh the Matrix ribbons). The finder ribbon is for story elements as their team will have significant writing behind them.

For the placement (participant,1,2,3) could a generic padding put put to the left of the image that's filled by the level achieved? It would standardize the size and clearly indicate placement.

One has a yellow border.

I thought the gold/silver/bronze would indicate that. I don't want to add too much to the width as it will begin affecting the ribbon width quite a bit. I can move the "bars" onto the art itself if that would help in standardizing the sizes. And, if we stay with this standard we'll all know who was in first/second/third by default of design.

To be honest, I dont see any problem with part of the picture (especilly that one where the ends are relativly empty) is a problem. It probably looks better than having em squashed into different sizes, and looks better than havign the overall size differ.

But I've always been rather fussy about this kinda thing.

I see where you say it starts to look a bit goldish. But i'm sure with it being just 1 band opposed to 3, and the gold's being fairly bright, it'll be easily picked up that it's 3rd. Those look great though *Thumbs up*
