Answer 1

I can't work out what the gfx on the badge are ?

Comments

Thomas MacEntee said the same thing. :-) It's *supposed* to be embossed copper. And there's a little hand holding a pen. Maybe we'll need to re-do the badge.

I did a "view image" and enlarged it.  Then I could see what it was.  I couldn't tell at first, either.

---

Hmmm. So you mean the hand?

Does the embossing of the letters make sense? Do they look raised?

We're going to do other badges soon, so having a repeatable style would make sense. We already have the Club 100 and Club 1,000 badges, which are in a completely different style, but maybe that doesn't matter.

Maybe its a matter of screen resolution. I can see it well on my screen.

I don't think the  style of the badges matters, I assume eventual groupings, and different styles would group together.

---

Yes, I couldn't tell what the hand was at first glance.  As Tom mentioned, resolution may have something to do with it.  I'm running 1600x900 on a 17" laptop screen.  Some graphics can look pretty small in that resolution/screen size.  Also my superb eyesight is something I can only reminisce about these days.  :-)

Chris, I think the issue is that as a line drawing you can't tell "inside the object" from "outside the object" at this size, so I'd recommend going for a filled shape drawing like a cartoon - maybe something like this... http://www.wikitree.com/photo/Allen-6100.jpg
I'm no artist but I think this illustrates the point.
Cheers

Thanks, Wombat.
