[Your View] LotC Graphics & Feedback

[Halt 1338]

Hey everyone,

 

I’m writing this post to solicit feedback on graphics for LotC. I’m the guy who made the previous, current, and ostensible future sets—I want to make sure they are in line with what the community wants (this poll indicates that they aren't). The idea to revise some of the graphics as seen below started when the assets got lost in a forum theme update; this includes the old VIP icons.

 

Here are the two old sets of staff badges and icons:

Presently, the donor icons for the LotC forums are broken. Here is what's broken, and this is an old screenshot of what it used to look like prior:

After seeing the results of the poll, I went ahead and made another draft of the icons. I used whatever feedback was provided with substance that I could gather. Here is the result of that:

 

 

Some of the LotC assets have lost their source files over the years, and some icons just look dated. The old adage also comes to mind: if something isn't broken, you don't need to fix it. I don't think any icons are set in stone or are going to be forced on anyone. Originally, they were rolled out just as a test to see if they were still possible with the present forum theme. I'll include a poll to gather feedback, but what might be more helpful are references or ideas by way of replies and comments. These icons are very changeable, and I'm very interested in making sure the community enjoys the assets they're using on a day-to-day basis. Thanks for your time.

 

Here is a post using the "new" graphics.

Also, a quick shoutout to @Amayonnaise for the dragon-themed Discord and Minecraft server icons; she is incredibly talented.

I am a massive fan of the new graphics. Think they're slick.

Make having the VIP/staff badge next to your forum name something that can be enabled/disabled

Over all good things, me happy. However, I wish I could add something to my profile to remind people to drink water. Speaking of which, drink some. Hydrate or dierate.

in my opinion those updated shields look way better than the wing design we have now

[Sefardi 1501]

I like the shields, but I especially like the dividers -- I'd like to see if there are different drafts though, maybe other concepts

[MaltaMoss 1773]

I always like updated and fresh graphics, they're clean.

Shields are a dope aesthetic, but we can switch it up too.

The current wing designs give me gross minigame server vibes, I like the shields though, but I feel like the old shields were totally fine
