      @tatsu I was thinking of replacing Diamond with Crystal just for fun :D. I have a few drafts for the two higher tiers but the final tier is still in the idea phase.

      Crystal/Diamond:

      Master/Maybe some other gemstone:

      Coloring not final

        I can dig that.

        what about grand-master?

        don't you think they'd look much better if they weren't a single stone slab/ thinner?

        and then you would have two axi of progression : color and thickness, grandmaster being the full block.

        I do like Petrics Desgin but for me the Gold and Broze look a bit too simular from a quick glanse

        I don't get that feeling at all. bronze (or rather copper) clearly looks like copper and gold clearly looks like gold, look:

        maybe gold could be a brighter hue, a bit more reflective? copper looks fine to me though.

          Please keep in mind that we also need a big version. I don't think that a quite simple icon would look that good when it is ten times the size.

            @BlackYps I have done a color remaster of the icons for the large verison. I am tinkering with adding some more detail for the larger version.

                @WasserMelon progress but doesn't look good enough, I think you'll have to push this waaaaaaaaay way further.

                try photorealistic silver and gold ect :

                you need to occupy the pixels otherwise it'll look way too bland.

                  the 20x40 size, you mean?

                  yeah I agree, but wasn't the implication that Aeolus avator base size would be increased or did I missunderstand?

                    I'm uncertain if the avatar size in aeolus can be increased, and to be honest, it's probably not a good idea.

                    Icons in the actual TMM party tabs as shown in screenshots around here is fair game.

                      @tatsu I've made some progress with photorealistic textures as you sugested, I enjoy the outcome but would be great if the change is begin made from 40x20 to 80x40. And perhaps do you know when the deadline is?

                      I have to correct some stuff to make the ranking a bit more clear. Here is how they would look.

                        I still think these lack in shape.

                        it's a bit of a shame to use 100% of the allotted space save for rounded borders instead of playing a bit more with empty space as the above examples have done.

                          Why is there still discussion about existing proposals that aren't Petric's?

                            I don't have a dog in this fight (although I should tbh) - I think Petric's designs are nice, but are too busy. They force the eye to make sense of them, and that's less optimal.

                                  Anyone know what kind of time frame is left to submit something?

                                  I'd like to submit something but think it is alittle to ambitious for the time remaining.

                                  Thanks

                                      @Azraeel Busy would be nice if was animated, and animated would be nice if it was responsive.

                                      Busy was nice in the 90s.

                                      I still think there is just something simpler.

                                      In the end, as long as there is a good winner doesn't matter how it's won, it's still for FAF!

                                        There is no real deadline, just when one is chosen.
                                        Also, do you have anything else to use than a slab serif?

                                          Changing out icons is not a development heavy task. Can basically look at anything until a week before tmm releases.
