Ok well since we thought it would be a good idea that for the tournament we would give a sig to the winners. So Oko came to me and asked if I would do it. I implemented that we could do userbars.
So I want your opinion on A do you like them or not. (use the poll please) and B what would you also want changed or taken away from them.

Userbar example:


This is to give you a general idea of what they might look like. Aside from it having TGGT Winner #?. It will say if you won Gold, Silver or Bronze. And whatever the theme was. (in this case Brett Favre)
As of now this will take up 350x75 of your signature space.

Now about the Userbar. The image used in the Userbar will depend on whatever stock/render you used to make your winning entry. You will then send it to me and I will then make a 75x75 img of whatever you used and add it for your userbar.



To be added/taken away:

- Maybe a C4D of some sort that will be placed behind the scanlines.

I like the concept, but the text is a little hard to see. (Please note i'm practically blind lol. my vision is horrible)

I love the idea of putting their winning entry up for display. It may end up with mixed results depending on their entry though. In this case I think it looks great. =)

Well I thought maybe not using their winning entry but using the stock or render they used. But if I were to use their winning entry I would only use a part of it and not the whole thing.
And text size can be increased if need be.

The only problem I see with your userbar example is that after 1 or 2 tournies, depending on whether you placed on podium or not, you would basically be running out of room in your sig to display any podium finishes you might have.

Perhaps a 75x75 medal of some sort or something along the line of it being small so that you can display multiple winnings with it affecting the overall size of your sig.

Of course, people can also choose to display their best finish in a tournie. Say they enter 3 tournies and won 1 of each medal. They could just choose to display their gold win. If that is the case for most, then I think your userbar would be a great way to display it. But I think the colours of the userbars should correspond to what place you finished? So a yellow/golden colour for gold medal finishes, white/silver colour for silver medal, etc.

Anyways, I still vote yes to the userbar though.

Right now only the final four remaining people would win a signature.
Pretending we have 16 people enter it would be like this: http://www.printyour... ... ation.html

Where the competitors in the final 2 brackets will win a medal. the 2 people who dont move on into the final round will remain tied at 3rd place and be awarded with a Bronze medal(sig). then the winner of the final round will get a gold sig and the second place winner would get the silver. Just winning in the qualifiers won't win you a medal.

I planning on doing something that would correspond to that. I was thinking on either doing that or using from the colors that they used in their work.
I might also might make some sort of little medal that would have TGGT Winner #?, The persons name then their placement. (gold, silver, bronze). The medals size might come to about 100x100.
They could use this if they didn't want to use the Userbar.

I think you misunderstood what I was getting at. Of course I know that only the top 3 would get medals (ie gold, silver, bronze), what I was referring to was someone placing in the top 3 in multiple tournaments and getting 2-3 userbars. At the current size, it would be hard to display all the userbars for every tournament that you won in. That's why I talked about possible smaller graphics for winners.

My other point though was that they could choose to display only their highest win. So if you won a bronze, silver and gold and had 3 userbars, they could choose to display only their gold winning userbar instead.

Anyways, I think Halo got my point.
