im not sure if im being ignored or if what i say just gets buried, but the tags are still brighter and larger than the names of the bot. now all my bots looks like theyre named AWC.

so please take into consideration about changing the location to not before the name and not have it stand out more than the name.

Killjoy wrote:Sorry, but I don't really see this adding value to HMW as is. This seems to be an elitist addition that takes away from the factions as a whole. Now, there are clan tags that draw immediate attention to names with the effect of just HIGHLIGHTING them over others. "Join a clan - get noticed!"

Possible solution: If they want to be RDD, AWC, MDF, and _?_?_?_ then replace the or logo with a modified one for the clan or to include the clan name.

Or maintain the integrity of names and use just text. As pointed out earlier, it isn't as fun, but it isn't distracting advertising either.

i think this is a valid reason also to reduce the size and color of the tags

It pretty much goes along with your comments.

I don't think anyone has a problem seeing them, but not when they take away from the names overall seems to be the main concern between you and I.

i think the pair of you are absolutely right. again i suggest rather than the ugly bubble font prefixing our TF's name, he have the [RDD/AWC/PAC/MDF/XXX] suffix our team name.

by **Shadow Dragon** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 8:44 pm

Yes the font needs to go, a simple reading of the whole thread shows that we're coming up with tiny icons instead, and it must be on the bot not the team in case a bot wants to be held out of tournaments for whatever reason.

basically we want something exactly like the Minicon icon, but sybolising clan.

i know OS likes suprising us, but a little communication would've been nice before hand.

I think it's fine as it is, to be honest.

by **Tammuz** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 8:53 pm

yes but you're drunk and think a bright purple hat and grey woolen sweater look good.

Right, only much smaller. 11px is very tough but I've got a few things I'll be posting in our forum here soon enough.

And honestly, is it really that big of a thing that he needs to give a weeks warning? It's not like he made changes to mechanics or stats or anything like that. Plus you know we're the only proactive clan anyway so if we waited on the AWC to get something done we'd never get anywhere.

It's not bright, it's vibrant.

well we'd get ours, and they'd be left wanting.

i'll see if i can knock something out

EDIT: the minicon symbols weren't 11pixels surely?

Nope they were much bigger, but OS stated in here that he didn't want the tags to be much bigger if at all than the text of the robot name. Going by the size of the one's he's currently using it's 11x36.

I've started a thread in our forums for us to submit images that fit the guidelines and pick which one we want to use for ourselves. http://www.seibertron.com/forums/viewto ... 25101&sid=

Apparently it only registers one membership, since I think I'm on RDD and PAC. Guess I need to find the pages.

It only displays the clan forums you have access to.

Ive been playing around with this, I started with the RDD because I know what their symbol looks like.

unfuzified version

and from scratch:

Any of these good enough? I tried to make them small while still being identifyable, I can made the others in the same style.

I added these two to our vote page. I'd say do the others when you find out what their symbol is if they don't get around to it soon.

For reference here's what I had.

This lovely beauty is a simple 11px version of our symbol. Oooh ahhh.

Add in our Letters, shrink to 10px.

And bold.

Fuzzier or sharper hmmm.

by **Tammuz** » Sat Dec 08, 2007 10:40 am

i like man with a bit of fuzz.

by **Shadow Dragon** » Sat Dec 08, 2007 10:56 am

I usually don't but that one actually looks pretty good.

It's funny how tiny things like this can generate so much conversation. :lol:

Depending on the man in question, could be both.

I'd look at at tammywammy, er, Tammuz, but we never can quite tell on that one :lol:
