can someone make rank images like the ones here for the following ranks? (preferrably as something other than .bmp) :


admiral ( this color )
administrator ( this color )
mega mod ( this color )
mod ( this color
mini mod ( this color )
clan leader ( this color )
french ( this color )
spanish ( this color )
dominator ( this color )
stuff mod ( this color )
officer ( this color )
member ( this color
user ( this color )


you know, in the same kind of style as here? meanwhile, i will go on paint.net to try to figure it out while you all try to help. thank you in advance! :) :) :)

what program did xiaolin use?

Any preferred background color/texture?
Would you prefer all caps?

ADMIRAL or more proper Admiral

I know you didnt ask me, I personally use Paintship pro.

Yes also Xiaolin quit computers for some reason a few months ago and he hasnt been back since and this is on ALL the sites he is on :(

Is that what your looking for, I can do the rest, or let me know if you want something different, maybe I can change it accordingly.


Its ok if you hate them... thought i'd try and help.. hehe let me know.

umm what font do u want to use i can use anything from www.dafont.com

Thats where I get all my fonts too, handy site. Sammy, if you dont like the font I used, you could pick another (regarding the rank images i'd made as examples already).

i like the transparent background. those look cool. thank you. :) really, those are really good. and also, i like the alien text on that site.

Give me a little while, i'll see what I can do.

hmm is it just called alien?

yup. i think. it has lots of alien heads.

Are you gonna make'm lovelocket, dont want to put the time into it, if someone else is.
Already put a bit of time into the samples above.. heh

ok i made them lol it took me long but here they are
tho i did use pharmacy text

EDIT there huge i have to crop them they should be finish by tomorrow

Can you post one, so he can see if thats what hes looking for?

(perhaps hes already seen them, i dont know)

Im not going to create another set at this point. hehe I guess we wait.

kk lol buts there gonna be big :D i had gone afk for like 1hr and dont think i'll be on much here is my example ;] http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...22/officer.png

Here you go Sammy, with Alien font:

Let me know if you want me to do the rest.

lol i just said i liked it but still that looks cool lol. :) i was asking to use the pof ones as an example to show them in features request. thats really cool though. how do you do the transparent background? i like that site. :) and sure, do the rest. :)

Oh I know you said you liked it. But I didnt know if you'd still like it with the Alien font you'd mentioned. The "transparent" part is the easy part hehe. Its the way the text is colored etc that is a bit more challenging (trying to make it look similar to POFs style).

I basically start with a transparent image. Add text, do some tricks to make the text look similar to the POFs rank images 'style'. I add a drop shadow to the text for effect (3d effect), and then save the image in PNG format which retains any transparency (ie no background).

I also admit, I didnt want to take the time if it was unlikely you'd use them.

before you do everything, i want to show them one or two of them as an example. before you do everything.

I got bored, thought i'd see what I could do flag wise...

Didnt want one for myself though... so I tried making you one Sammy.
Used a few tricks trying to make the text look like it was on the waving flag. Not sure that it worked that well.

i think moderator would be good. and can you make spanish and member just a little darker? thank you. :)

Sure, will post them tonight, those are sorta the ones I saw as needing a bit of a change as well :)

one question: how do i do the transparent background and put the white around the edges? i asked if i could make the partners in crime under-name logo.

Transparency isnt that hard, but it would depend alot on the application your using. Paint for example is not robust enough, its just designed to slap some text or an arrow on existing graphics, or create simple graphics. It has limited effects/tools and does not support layers.

Different graphic applications have different features and effects in them. Some may actually have an effect that puts the white around the letters. Paintshop pro that I use, does, but it doesnt work the way we want them to look, so I had to use a series of nifty tricks to do it.

Basically:

1. Started with a transparent image.
2. Typed in my text with text tool on new layer.
3. Created an extended outline around the text, on the original transparent layer (behind the text).
4. Painted in this extended outline, which now appears somewhat like a thought bubble in the middle of the transparent layer.
5. Created a drop shadow on this white bubble for 3d effect.
6. Merged the two layers and saved as a PNG which retains the still transparent portion of the image.

I do not consider myself a graphics artist by ANY means. I've played with Paintshop Pro for years, creating website graphics, creating skins for games, i've painted all the stockcars that I race in our clans online races, etc. Im constantly learning, and creating new tricks.

Swashbuckler regarding your request, choose a font... (dafont.com) you want same style?[/QUOTE]

i would like the style pof uses

Sammy, updated the list above with darker spanish/member ranks, and added moderator.



Swashbuckler, I was bored and used a little artistic freedom.
Tell me if you want something more straight forward.

What color Sammy, might as well keep it consistent with your others :)

(assuming your using the ones I created)

yes i am. just click visit my homepage. you will see that i have administrator, dominator, and user already in use. waiting for more members to use mod.
i would like it to be kind of a goldish shiney color. if not just a dark-yellow gold color.
