Community Badge Design Competition

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

Because we've recently seen some fantastic badges in the community, we thought it might be fun to do a badge design competition. The badge that receiving most kudos will win and get a special mention in the community highlights and the announcement box.

Here's how you create a custom badge:

• Use the right piece of software: I would recommend Photoshop, Gimp or Paint 

• Create a new image: Size-wise, 170px by 195px should do the trick

• Design your badge: You can add images, borders, effects, etc. 

• Choose a profile badge & upload your background image: You can do all that here

• Add an avatar if you want: You can do that here

All done!

Let everyone know you've got a new badge by posting in this thread. The one with the most kudos will win eternal fame. 

Here are a few examples of some fantastic badges:

Great idea Leonard.

Depending on the entries you may entice me to design a new one

As many of already have one, I assume this is to entice people who don't.... Not ready to change mine just yet

You could always do a temporary badge - I still need one

Reason for doing the competition was just to have a bit of fun.

Pity my PC skills aren't up to designing skills, heck I've only just learnt to type! Anytime I try to change the background image it just appears with a thin border, hence the boring present badge!

Made one, but it seems to have been tiled rather than added as is. did do it 170 x 195

Very creative, MI5

@Pablo, it might be that I was wrong with 170 x 195. I stole those dimensions from another Lithium forum.

I made the image larger this time and the same thing happened.  Can see it with another few where the image seems to repeat itself.  Its called a tiled effect but doesn't really look right.

Nice one. It looks like the bottom part is still tiled. I'm going to try and find a bit more info on dimensions.
