Wow. o_o. Nicely done. Most of the rank images for staff and members are basic 15 pixel high images or stars or some other random shape. I never seen one of this eight and detailed. o_o.

Your designs are awesome, I assume the colors match what the link color of the username is? Like a regular moderator green? Super moderator blue? Administrator red?

I do like how they popout and are 3d. :].

I am impressed by these, there are occasions where one sees these and they aren't detailed, or no thought has been put into them at all. The only issue i have with them it the size - for many forums they may be a bit on the large side but for what they are, it's an excellent job {Smile}

Gah, I don't actually like these.

Ok, the actual design of them, is fantastic. Theres a nice gloss, 3Dness, detailed, original etc, etc. I could compliment you on the concept and execution all day.

However, who would use them? They are way too bulky and most forums use thin bars, stars or sometimes the stock suits them fine. I could not see any of these bars fitting the theme of any forum perfectly, as they are all too different.

As I said earlier, you want thin bars to make sure your forum isn't as crowded as what it may seem to be. By having a large bar like that only makes it look bulkier, rather than sleeker.

Design = Fab
Practicality = Not much

Think of forum designs now. Some forums have different mini profiles. Some to the top, some to the right, some under. So if it is coded so these show in a certain area will it become more practicable?

Try not to hi-jack someone else's thread please {Smile}

To answer your question, you'll need a graphics software program - you can make them in Paint, but the most popular programs are Photoshop, Gimp and Paint Shop Pro {Smile}

Very nice Anime, i've never seen them as good as this. Most of the time they are just stars. I like the details on this. Well Done. {Smile}
