I have zero artistic talent, so if you want something other than a simple color, you'll need to create the image.

If you create an image, you can modify more than just that half-coin. I did that originally only because more than a half coin's worth of color is distractingly colorful. Colorizing half a coin doesn't symbolize anything. If you create an image, make sure it's not more distracting than the normal colored half-coin.

I have set up the template, so you can choose any color you like. I've played around with a few, as you can see below.







Those look very nice by themselves, but I think that they might be jarring if actually used because your coin icons look similar to but not exactly the same as the current coin icons. The current icons don't have the BTC. Still, I added the first two to the poll.

You bitches are talking like you're picking out a new dress.

I like the blue best but the yellow goes with my hair color. Maybe the gray would be better because I can wear it to Sunday brunch too. lol

Gray and orange look the best.

However, orange is too similar to administrator rank.
My vote is on gray.

Both dark blue and gray look good and not so easy to be confused with other ranks.

However, the grey looks a bit like Satoshi's platinum coins


satoshi has 5 platinum coins, so even if legendary members have half gray coins, it shouldn't look too similar. Smiley

What color do you like best for the the Legendary coin/"star"?

Dark blue:

Grey:

Violet:

Orange:

Light green:

Yellow:


You can also post your own suggested images.

I think legendary needs to be marked by an extra coin, not color. In coming days there may be activity levels like Full Legendary, Sr. Legendary and Hero Legendary. Colored coins will become a problem then...

Well as theymos said has planned on adding those ranks? I don't there would a need for those ranks and being legendary..is just being legendary I don't think a extra coin would be suitable they have more than admins then.

Well we are not playing a game to have so many ranks or levels.. in fact new people even notice the ranks.. but ontopic i would say that the first custom coin that made the user was great.. one above the rainbow coin

Stunna always said, he don't want to add extra coin. It will look odd, for me half dark blue coin looks better.

I don't feel legendary, can't I make it look like before? Also I propose my current Avatar Text to be substituted for the member type.

"Drama Junkie" has a nice ring to it don't you think, and if you are honest it's also the one reason to keep posting.

Annnd this is the reason why you deserve the title legendary.

I agree that orange could be mistaken for admins and should not be used I liked the grey color but that is also similar to mods coin.

Theymos, definitely don't make it orange, it can confuse people with the red coin that admins have :/

Light green is very similar with the donator's green coin
Violet is very similar with the VIP's purple coin
Grey is very similar with the coin that Moderator's have

I would only go with the one you have set now (yellow)..

Isn't it a bad idea to have Legendary be more flashy than Staff which is light gray, or Global Mods? Although Donator/VIP is flashier than both of those already. I guess if we're not going to go with yellow, I'd be for making staff/mod/admin more visible because with over 2000 users who are active, you'll see it often.

Anyway, I like the dark blue one same as everyone else it seems.

Fabulous, even better.

But yeah, doesn't carry over well to the small version, just looks like a blob of pink on the corner.

Those first two coins look alright when they're large, but not when they're tiny.

Changing my vote from blue to rainbow. Also to rename Legendary to Flamboyant Grin.

How about just 'Fabulous'?  Cheesy Fabulous Member  Cheesy.

About the poll, I would vote for any of the other options but not the yellow.
It seems transparent when displayed on the light gray post row and furthermore it has no shadow anymore...
Looks like the Legendary level only has 4 coins and half, less than Hero!  Grin

Some questions and suggestions:

Is the coin dimension mandatory? Actually it's only 13x13px and the coins seem a bit washed out. If we could use a 16x16 icon like the favicon of the forum then they will be a lot more detailed.

Why use only the 5th coin to distinguish among the upper levels? It always seems to me like a not "full" Hero. Am I the only one?
What about using ALL the coins and color the half bottom part of them (or just the last third)? It could also be just a smaller detail to make the difference, like the color of the BTC symbol or just the border of the coins.

As perhaps an added bonus when coloring all the coins, is the fact that a senior staff member could easly have both 4 coins and the "color badge", instead of always 5 coins even if he's lesser than hero. But probably it was an intended behaviour, just not sure about it.

@rugrats:
I think they look better than the current ones. Just be aware that you resized them to an height of 12px instead of 13.
