raysox Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Who doesn't like incentive? In an attempt to promote better concepts, I came up with an idea. Think, boy scout merrit badges. It's basically the same idea, but for concepts.Say someone comes up with a sweet Washington Capital concept. 3 members with 500 posts/6 months say that you deserve the Capitals badge. Bam, someone comes to this thread,and posts this in the thread.You put it in your personal information on your profile. Easy as that. I'll set up a data base on this thread if it goes well. I'll make ones for all sorts of things like, Excellence in pro combat, numerical badges(10 badges), and gold ones for getting an entire league done. Each league will have their own design. Here are the 4 major sports, but eventually it will grow to numerous soccer leagues, college ones, and just a league as a whole(I'm not making individual ones for Australian football or something.)Any suggestions on tweaking? @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I like the idea, but I think that the NFL and NHL patch designs are far superior to the MLB and NBA ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Badges? Badges, we dont need no stinkin' badges.Nice Job RaySox www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijas Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 That's brilliant. Do concepts have to include all Home, Road and Alt or just one or is that up to the "judges"?? Could this also be something to put in your signature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 It's pretty much any concept for any team. I just don't want newbs saying THIS CONCEPT IS AWESOME, and giving one. and yeah they're sig compatible. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijas Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yep that 500 posts/6 months thing is a good idea, but is 3 too little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 You think? I figured 5 would be too many for prestigious members. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Mind if I take that Caps badge and use it as an avatar?

LetsGoOakland9 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 This is a cool idea, too bad I'll never get any But I hope the concepts section doesn't turn into debates about whether each post is badge worthy or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GatorHunter Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 i like the idea, you can have a nomination thread. if you feel someone deserves a badge, post in the nomination thread and a link to the concept, total of 3 nominations for the same concept gets the badge. but have the 3 nomination come from 3 different levels, so everyone is involved. Level 1: below 500 post with less than 6 months membership time. Level 2: 500-1500/6-12 months, Level 3: 1500+/1+ years. This way 3 newbies can not nominate one person, but they are still involved in the process.I also think adding text to the badge would clearify what the badge is for, like, if someone put up just one uniform concept, u have have "UNI Concept" but if another posted a full Home, Away, Alternate Concept, you could put "Full Set" on the Badge. if they get the same badge twicw, you could either post the badge twice ot just put a #2 on the Badge. I'm willing to help make the badges if this gets off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Just to clarify:So Bob makes a great concept for Team X. He gets nominated, and is awarded the badge of Team X to show that he made a great concept for the team.Is that correct? Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

raysox Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yeah just to have and show that he makes good concepts. It's a reward that people would want to get. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHcreative Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I really like the idea raysox. I think it's brilliant and I hope others think the same. I'd love to see this idea take off. It's been so hard lately to get comments for your well executed concepts when the board is being flooded with a bunch of kids posting crap that they've been working on for 5 minutes. And then seeing that thread get 100 comments really irks me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijas Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I like the idea of having a thread for the nominations. On that note, would you be able to suggest yourself for nominations? As for getting the same badge twice, I can't say I see that happening very often, but when it does there could be two stars on the badge whereas the first time you do it there would only be one.And as for how many nominations you need, maybe you're right RaySox, 5 is a lot. I like GatorHunter's idea, but how about 5 and at least one of those 5 has to be a 1+ member, 1 can be 0.5-1 year member (or 1+ year member), and three can be noobs (or "higher").

GatorHunter Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 i have another way this might work, i have been a member of a lot of graphics sites, and some of them have Signature of the Week (SOTW) how about Concept of the Week (COTW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac12 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Badges? Badges, we dont need no stinkin' badges.You had to use "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" quote, didn't ya? Intersting concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Bmac and I were working on ideas, and I thought that something with the league logo and serial number would be neat.MLB will be released today in another thread. What we could do is have a group of 5 judges and if the majority thinks you deserve it, then you get the badge. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 What about doing PotD format? Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 There needs to be some kind of authority, though. Anyone can like a concept and say BADGEZ. But if it's enough to get some experienced concept guys to go whoa, then yeah, badge for you. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
