The Energon Pub

Can someone with Modlike status (or Modlike knowledge, ha!) tell me what the size of those "clan" tags are that show up next to combatants names in the quote area and the mission results?

They've haunted me ever since they were created. Such a terrible font choice. So, instead of being part of the problem--I want to part of the solution and make some new ones.

Anyone know?

Word.

P>S>If anyone has some requests or thoughts in regards to the HmW graphic design, please feel free to comment here or PM me.

I think it is 36x11

Yeah, it's 36 x 11.

No idea on size, but as far as suggestions:

Why not use the subfaction symbols?

Like and instead of AWC and RDD?

Although, if that worked, I assume that would have been the original solution.

some one go wake up green lantern, his tags were great, and just be thankful os listened to us about the graphical redesigh based on beastwars profiles, black red and yellow blocks are not very nice

Id love to see that, but I think the transtech logo looked odd when shrunk that small (the one in my sig for example).
By all means try it though.

Do the furries have clan symbols? I know the insectiods do.

The Maximals were torn between and the two "Maxalorian" Symbols that were blends of the BW and BM symbols.

That was your avatar for a while wasnt it? Its definately the coolest.
Get Ratty to pick one, he's obviously in charge over there.

Guess thats the problem with the clan logo's, you'll never get everyone to agree on it. Jeep hates the one we have, but that just makes it more fun to use.

I'm up... I'm up...

I believe these are slightly bigger than the current tags, if its a problem let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

Edit: Trying for a more visible RDD tag

Da, I love that design.

It's a firm second place in my list things I hate about the HMW experience.
For those interested, shut-outs, the imbalanced nature of avoid, lack of quality opposition, the state of the in-game text, OS going back on his plan to let me fix the aforementioned texts, 'catering for everyone', the disarray of the beast factions, repeated questions as to V2 and minicons, and the 12 character maximum round out places 3 through 10.

Why do they even need to be images?

[ AWC ] / [ RDD ] / [ PAC ] / [ MDF ] would look much better.

I think the current ones are looking good, maybe the only thing that could have changed is that the tags could be near the teams name, not the cons'.

^ Yes. It'd save space on the registry page. And really, it's not like you can have a bot from your team who's not in your clan, is it?


I like Green Lantern's works. But I recommend the RDD one be in a lighter colour. Purple + black background = hard to see clearly.

I like the images GL made, the RDD logo is supposed to be dark.

I do agree would look better on the team name instead of by the actual minion, but im not bothered enough to want to change it.

Those are absolute über WIN!
I like those a lot mor then the current ones, we need to get these!

Well, my work is done. Scratch that. It's been done, by GL. Great stuff.

Why do I even bother?

Word.

Cheers for trying QS.

What's stopping you from putting out your own versions for people to consider?

Time. Lack of confidence. Receeding hairline. Could be any number of things...

Buy a wig and post something.

I'd almost forgotten about the ones Gl made. I'm still in favour of useing those.

I rest my case. Not like anyone likes my craptastic art anyway.

I say go with the ones GL did, they look awesome and fit the bill perfectly. Wow, this keyboard is really springy...

Word.

I will agree that the current subfaction tags are gaudy as all getout... but personally, I wouldn't mind just a simple boldfaced colored text tag beside a TF's name instead of an image.

How will we know your ideas are craptastic if you don't even show them to us? xP

Srsly dude, post what you've got. If only for sh*ts and giggles sake.

Bullshit.

I'd love to see an ongoing little comic in this "Behind the Lines" thing i'm putting together, even if it's only three panels and just a funny little strip. And you know who the first person I thought of to ask if they'd like a crack at doing it?

You.

Because despite our constant conflicts I know how much talent you've got when it comes to drawing.

So consider yourself asked.
