fancy arch logos for TU/Adivser/Devs

Does anyone else think the little arch logo would look better on the left side of the username? I'm not even sure this is possible, but I think it would look better due to the varying length of usernames.

I'm just glad I no longer see stars.

Haha, this new icon next to the nick kind of reminded me a bit of Star Trek suits.

A little transparency could do wonders.

I preferred the star. Although to answer your question, I reckon the arch is in the right place.

I like the arch.  Looks... Arch-like?

Re: fancy arch logos for TU/Adivser/Devs

Why do you feel the need to have a badge? Isn't having a title enough? Anyone that can read what's right under your name can see that you're not a regular user....

Re: fancy arch logos for TU/Adivser/Devs

Because people don't always read that stuff!  So I thought the "badge" would be a quicker guide.  We already decided that the stars said the wrong thing though.

Re: fancy arch logos for TU/Adivser/Devs

I liked the stars better as they are more self-explanitory for someone who has never been here before.  I think the star stands out as more of a universal symbol of something different.  The Arch badge might not be instantly recognizable by a new person, nor would it's meaning be conveyed just by being there.  The Arch symbol also blends in way too much to be noticed easily.  Just my $0.02

Re: fancy arch logos for TU/Adivser/Devs

Bah, it's fluff.  I like it.
If anyone says "I don't care" and has an avatar on these forums, you're lying - if you truely didn't care, you wouldn't have uploaded an avatar image!
That's what you get for poo-pooing on my badge parade.

*beep-ba beep* Go ahead Spock.

So how come I don't get a Arch badge? I use Arch, I should have a badge too.

(Just illustrating a point here.)

And what would that point be?

The point with the badge is to allow easier distinguishability amongst members of the community who are designated certain roles, ie. Developers, TU's, Admins, Forum Advisers, etc. Think of all the positions that have "Forum" prepended to their title, including regular users (Forum Resisdent). Even if everyone else was given a different badge/icon/whatever, the purpose would still be served.

I really don't see point of complaining about it -if you really want a badge that bad then do something for the community to earn it. I believe the TU's are always looking for people, I think we still need a documentor, and I know the Forum Advisers would like to have another member. Otherwise stop complaining like a bunch of babies and move on.

Re: fancy arch logos for TU/Adivser/Devs

Zomg, more Arch hostility.  What's going on these days?  Is there a full moon out tonight?

I'm going to lock this thread for a bit, because the fire has enough fuel.  Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have a reason to unlock it.

Also, I'd hope other Forum Advisors don't take it upon themselves to continue commenting when this is locked.

Thanks
