NEW BADGES!

Go To

The new TVTropes app (in beta testing) has resurrected The Badge Shop and moderators can now give out award badges via the app and anyone who uses the app can add any other badge to their account for free! Badges are viewable in all sections of the site on the app (Forums, Queries, Discussions, TLP and Reviews)

The new app should be available to the general public within the next couple of weeks!

NEW BADGE SUBMISSIONS:

  • Users can submit designs for new badges for review via this thread. If approved by the moderators and the admins any moderator can then add that new badge to the badge shop via the Badge Shop Manager.
    • New badges should be of higher quality and not appear pixelated like current older badges, we can now upload higher quality images for them.
    • New badges should have a transparent background so they don't show a different color background when on night vision.

     old post 

(Started this thread based on this thread/post.)

For those that are unaware, one of the ideas for bringing in some money from the forum-side of the wiki is to sell "badges" (sort-of like the Herald one) that you can buy and put up as part of your "gingerbread" .

The shop can be found by clicking on the "basket" at the top of any post. There is a 1 USD -> 1Þ exchange rate.

Each person who buys a badge will also be able to customize the hover text that people see for their particular badges. (Note: Only plain text is usable for a caption. Potholes and other wiki formatting will not work)

There are three slots under the avatar and above the "title" space to display them. You will be able to get to your gallery (where you can chose which ones you want to show and their order) by clicking on these slots.

If you wish to participate in making the badges, they need to be a max of 24x24 pix.

The only things we are completely keeping out of the store are symbols that are generally associated with any religion (the Yin-Yang and such are more known for other reasons), gender/sex/sexual orientation badges, and ones that infringe on copyrights. If you see things that you think do infringe, you probably don't have to worry about it. Those are images that don't match their originals (the heart container), are free-to-use, or the original copyright owner has lost their privilege to go after the "offending" images by not going after them in the past.

Please use this thread for everything badge-related.

The rest of this post is taken up by badge ideas, links to badges people have made, and default text ideas. NOTE: The list has not been updated in quite a while (and will probably never be) now that badge ideas/submissions appear naturally in the thread and go strait into the shop.

Yay! Thank you! zerky was honestly just curious if she qualified for one.

As for the snake. Yessss. She highlighted some of the problem areas.

Better, but you want to watch your volumes. Some of the areas, like the part touching the end of the tail, and the chest area (boy it's hard to talk about parts of snake anatomy since they're basically a long tube of meat with no limbs... Please don't make a dick joke) are a little too thick, and the doubling up of the black lines there is looking too bold.

Don't have the snake touch itself. It looks wrong.

LOL

That was top notch innuendo.

Anyway, there's still a distinct lack of "curviness" for better words.

zerky hopes she won't be stepping on your toes by doing this, but she made a small example of what she means.

Can't we just recolor zerky's original snake? I may or may not be able to open the mouth.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

[up][up] I agree, that seems to be the most logical course of action.

I prefer the snake in 2408 myself, should it matter. :(

Lighter version.
I think the thick version is at risk of looking cartoonish. Can someone try an open mouth for this one? My attempts all come out like a beak.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Hello everybody!

I've been gone for almost 2 weeks now; can someone fill me in on what happened?

Also, that's an awesome snake.

(I'm assuming someone has already made the obligitory Snake? SNAAAAAAAKE! joke.)

Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.

Welcome back! We're opening Mister Snake's mouth atm, and trying to make it not look like a beak. At least I think that's what everyone is doing.

Also, there was a badger, but I'm not sure what happened with that.

I haven't been here for somewhere around 4 pages, and I'm still just sneaking on someones computer, so I don't have time to check what happened.

Anyone ever do those chess themed badges?

Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.

First one might be copyrighted. They look good, though, 'specially the second IMO.

I second the second one. With the tagline "WARNING! May not make you large!"
