Current requests (links to requesting post):

NOTE: ALL BADGES MUST BE 30×30 pixels. That’s the exact size. Logos and other things can be any reasonable size and should scale without looking terrible.

Note: Bumping this topic is acceptable regardless of how old it is, as long as there are requests.

Radio PSI segments often offer badges as prizes for consistant winners. The problem is some of the DJs (read: me) are pretty useless at art. THUS, a challenge!

DJs can request badges here (look for the “RADIO PSI DJ” banner under their name), and you can produce them for rewards. The DJs will list any requirements in their posts, but I’ll list a couple things here.

My idea is to, if allowed, offer credit for having created an avatar (see also the Fanvatar topic) for an accepted set of three unique badges. Generally, the segments offer different badges for different numbers of wins/points. To get a Fanvatar credit from me, you would need to submit a set of 3 different badges. Simply doing a palette swap or other small change will not get you Fanvatar credit; these are a lot smaller than avatars, after all.

ex: The Name the Thing that the Ring is From Thing 5 and 10 wins badges are not different enough for this. and

But J64’s personal badge as Ringtone Maestro would be: (note: This is called “Cellton John”.)

Logo: RPG Club
Logo: DJ Mon – Digital Monsters

First request: I need badges for the Treasure Hunt.

I think I’d like an actual chest to be one of the badges, but I’m open to suggestions. My only significant requirement is that they must be roughly Bronze, Silver, Gold in that order.

Once upon a time I was the best and that never changed.

Note from the Badgevatar Czar: Creating three unique, quality badges earns you a credit towards an avatar; you still need to earn a total of four credits to have an avatar. For example, if I made avatars that two people use, then make 6 badges (thus earning two credits), then I’ll be eligible for a badge.

Another thing I reminded cyan of is that if a badge you make gets accepted, you will be eligible to earn the Badge Maker badge. If you enter your first three badges and you had the Badge Maker badge prior to the submission period, you will be eligible for an additional credit. Please note that this kind of opportunity concerning avatar credits based on the Badge Maker badge is not likely to happen often, if at all, so take advantage of this opportunity!

I don’t keep up much with Radio PSI, but this thread looked lonely, so I made a few badges

The theme is TREASURE!

The third place prize looks kinda like a treasure map. Neat, huh!

The second is modeled after some sort of silver coin or dubloon. Spooky…..

First place will net you this brilliant treasure chest! What’s inside? Why radial gradients of course!!

I’ve made badges for second and third place so far, and I intend to get something in for first as well.

Here’s what I’ve got now:

Digital Erde Kaizer

Hmm, I like the ideas in both, so far.

Arch Duke of the Board

I got some first place ones done. Let me know if you think I should change something- feedback is nice.

EDIT: The second two should be sparkling. Not really sure why they aren’t doing it in the post. They sparkle if you click on them to have them open in a new window.

afc your 3rd place badge looks more like a cracker then a map. Besides that they look great!

Even the smallest mistake will follow you forever.

I’d actually say remove mention of 1st/2nd/3rd. Radio badges usually aren’t awarded for finishing in place X, it’s more for consistent performance. Winning X times, for example.

fed306

So you want badges for how many wins?

I decided that I didn’t like how my gold-themed one turned out. I made it more shiny, and it now fills more of the 30×30 space. Also there is no more “1st,” as per your comment.

As before, clicking on it should bring it up in its own page, where it will be animated.

EDIT: And here’s a static one, as well. Animated on the left, static on the right.

This is the best treasure chest so far, I think.

I’m looking for badges for the Golden Medley – the only specifics I have are:
- the badges need to look roughly like the object in the attached pictures
- There need to be three versions.
– One very, very fancy one
– The other two can be designed however you wish as long as they look less impressive than the one above.
If you have any questions, send a PM or ask in here.

Arch Duke of the Board

Would you like them to say “Name That Tune” for the nostalgia, or “Golden Medley” because that’s the segment title?

eggstree
Epic Beard

The fancy badge and one of the less-impressive badges can say “Golden Medley”. The other can say “Name That Tune”.

If you can work that in, so much the better. If you can’t, it’s not a dealbreaker.

“You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.” – Dave Barry

Arch Duke of the Board

Well I tried putting actual words on it, but nothing was legible at 30×30px. So I abbreviated it. I hope that’s alright (you can give badges alt-text, right?)

Anyway, I wanted to see if this was fancy enough, or if you want more glitz. Or if you have any other comments on this design- feedback is always appreciated.

(Click on the attached image- the preview section doesn’t animate images, but it’s animated in its own window)

That is pretty dang nifty. Needs a bit more color and maybe a touch more flashiness for this version though…I’d use this one without any animation for the mid-level badge.

Arch Duke of the Board

Here’s a more colorful (and by extension, flashier) version. (As before, click to see it flash and all that)

Attachments:

Arch Duke of the Board

And I apologize for the double-post, but I wanted to keep the static (less flashy ones) in a separate post, since I can’t divide them into separate sections of the same one. Here are few non-flashy ones:

I don’t know if you’re still looking for treasure chest badges, but I made some. They’re not bronze, silver and gold, I still need to get around to fixing the gold color… I might touch up the third one, too.
(and for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of the white background. Curse you, MS paint… How does one go about doing that, anyway?)

MS Paint is pretty terrible at dealing with transparency. I highly suggest the open-source GIMP. You’ll have much more success.

Proud Member of the Flowey Fan Club™❀

Ah, that’s what I thought. Thanks for the link! I’ll see if I can get the transparency to work…

Hmm, I’m ok with the idea of the varying fill-levels of the chests in place of the gold/silver/bronze variation.

eggstree
Epic Beard

J_Spade, the latter two on your last post I will accept as-is as the two non-fancy badges. For the fancy badge, you’re definitely on the right track, but I would like to suggest some things:

- the inner and outer ring of lights might need to animated differently to achieve either one going at a slower speed or the appearance of a clockwise ring and a counter-clockwise ring, if doable.
- The “GM” might need to be a different color – maybe a white, a silver or a more fancy gold, if doable
OR
the background should be a solid black and all the other colors kept as-is.

I’d like to see two versions of the badge with both the color ideas implemented (the change about the lights is most important and should be made if at all possible) if that’s is not too much trouble – I know for certain I will pick one of them as the third and final product, but I am not sure which idea I prefer more.

“You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.” – Dave Barry

Arch Duke of the Board

Good calls there- I really like what the changes did for it.

EDIT: I can also make these faster/slower, if you like. So far, I’ve just been picking speeds that seem to work pretty well, but I haven’t played with that extensively.

Attachments:

I love the first one, and I hope I can eventually find some active use for it – maybe a badge for the host?

I’ll take the second one as the “Fancy” badge, so that makes a set of three! All of these designs are awesome though – I wish I had the ability to use them all.

(For official reference below, I have attached the three badge designs I am accepting. Incidentally, they are in increasing order of value.)

Arch Duke of the Board

Awesome. Glad I could help.

Digital Erde Kaizer

Just as a thought, unless it’s somehow just me, I’d really like to see them flash just a tiny bit slower.

eggstree
Epic Beard

I suppose, although I personally think it’s fine as is. Up to J_Spade – if he edits it, I’ll just replace the older version of the accepted design with the new version.

“You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.” – Dave Barry

Arch Duke of the Board

No problem- here you go! (delay between frames is now 150ms, up from 100)

(I have no personal preference here, BTW. Feel free to not pick the one I just edited- it literally took about two minutes to edit the file in GIMP to move slower, so I’m not all that concerned about wasted effort, or anything.)

Attachments:

Digital Erde Kaizer

I’d probably put it about halfway between that and the original, personally … I just don’t know how to do it myself. XD

The original just seemed a bit too attention grabbing, to me. Kind of like this ridiculous “Dino Rampage” badge.
<—-

I’ll second that notion – the edited version is just a touch too slow.

I like your faithfulness to the original design, Jojoraz. I wish 30×30 was big enough to give it due justice.

You HAVE given me an idea for an avatar, though…

Hey! Sorry about the delay, but I finished fixing the transparency (and some other stuff) on the treasure chest badges. Here they are!

Aww spoony. I thought I’d replied here, but apparently I didn’t.

I think I’ll go with Rhyselinn’s, though I have a couple requests:

I was wondering if you think you can make the gold in first badge just slightly lower than the edge of the chest.
If you can make a fourth badge like the 3rd but sparkling, that’d be awesome.

Proud Member of the Flowey Fan Club™❀

Oh, okay! Thanks!

Requests:

Number 1: No problem! I should be able to do that some time this weekend.
Number 2: I can make a fourth, sparkling treasure chest. When you say “sparkling,” do you mean animated?

Follow me on Bluesky. I’m @rhyselinn on Discord

Digital Erde Kaizer

Yes, animated.

Proud Member of the Flowey Fan Club™❀

Okay, here they are!
(here’s to hoping that animated GIF works out okay…)

EDIT: Yes! It works! At least, if you double click the image… Does that mean it’s working okay?

Anything else I can help you with, cyan?

Digital Erde Kaizer

No, I think that’s good. They’re not all in one post so it’s too much effort to quote, but I’m going with Rhyselinn’s.

I’ll figure out the exact details regarding the Fanvatar credit for you and J_Spade.

Proud Member of the Flowey Fan Club™❀

Alright. And thank you!

Both of you should have the avatar credit by now, Rhyselinn and J_Spade.

We do! Thank you very much.

No, thank you. That badges are awesome.

{I’ll be starting to hand out mine tomorrow. Doing an update of radio stuff.}

Digital Erde Kaizer

Looking for some logos now.

DJ Mon – Digital Monsters: Obviously must have some sort of Digimon motif. I like my avatar, but I think it’s a bit too active for being displayed if we’re streaming anything during the show.

DJ Mon – Digital Monsters, “Technical Difficulties” placeholder: Must be Digimon themed.

RPG Club: Must say “RPG Club” somewhere. A fantasy motif is suggested, but not required.

Radio PSI: I’m going to be pretty open on this one, mostly because I’m not even going to guarantee I’ll take a new one. I’m just interested in seeing what people come up with. This does not need to just be a main logo, something suitable to use in a video stream may also be accepted.

All submissions must be tasteful. Size is irrelevant during submission, but please keep it within reason. Submissions that scale well have a better chance of being accepted.

Any submissions deemed reasonable will receive Participation Points, the accepted logos will earn a full rank of RPPA badge.

Regarding use in streaming, you can find some of our broadcasts at http://twitch.tv/radiopsi so you can see how logos are being used so far.
