lebubu Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 [quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1290449302' post='2520382'] Nice flag. Unfortunately I will have to desecrate it on a regular basis. If it makes you feel any better I will take slightly less pleasure in doing so. [/quote] Make sure you post pictures.

OOC: the signatures look better but the theme is stupid and uninspired. My signature, on the other hand, is brilliant. [/quote] No, they do not clash.

Branimir Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) Not a fan of pixelation, sorry. The smooth background feel of the flag with easy on eyes "aqua blue" and sharp black lines do not mesh with the "abrasiveness" of the pixelized shield*. The two collide-- sophisticated smooth background with the rough shield* *specifically, obviously, the 'shroom in the shield Edited November 22, 2010 by Branimir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be very sophisticated yet simple, a great combo. Though I understand that you wanted to express some of the character of the alliances by the pixelated part.

A pixelated mushroom makes far more sense than a 3D mushroom, especially on a flag. I can sort of understand where the pixelated mushroom clashes with the smooth shield comes from though. Personally I saw it as the crest on the shield, so the disparity there doesn't really bother me (say you saw someone actually holding a shield with a pixelated mushroom on it. I doubt you'd say "That pixelated mushroom doesn't mesh with your shield!"), but I can see where as a design it might seem off. Which is why I was wondering how a pixelated shield would look. The background behind it is generic enough to work with a smooth or pixelated design. It's not like there's a lot of smooth curves or other shapes or whatever in it to contrast with it.

Just sharpen the black lines (make them curvy) on the shroom, giving it a "natural" flat look rather then a look of a poor overblown digital image.

But as said, Id rather ditch the entire pixelation. "Brave" element to put in and experiment with, but on a flag,...I dunno if it works most of the time.

Duncan King Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) Will you be changing your flag ingame to reflect the new banner? Also, it's cute. The old one wasn't horrible, but it was pretty complex. The new one is simpler. And for what it's worth, I like the pixelation. It helps denote where MK operates (the Cyberverse).
