It's obvious, if only from the [thread="329409"]Carlos Boozer Is Single Handedly Keeping Black Ice In Business[/thread] thread, that our community is filled with talented artists and graphic designers.
With our latest community fundraiser now underway, I thought it would be a good idea to see if we can marshal some of that talent for good.
We're currently in need of THREE different badges to award to contributors:
- A standard badge for supporters at the $10-24 level
- A special badge for contributors at the $25-99 level
- An elite badge for donors at the $100+ level
The basic badge should fit right in with those from our previous fundraisers:
The special badge should be a little larger, though no larger in size than the special badge from our Somalia fundraiser:
This was the highest level badge awarded last time. Changes in the platform have reduced its stature a bit, since everything has to fit into the same basic box size:
What we're looking for, then, are badges that are differentiated by design rather than by size. We'd much rather have the design tell the story than have something explicitly say "elite contributor", etc. - and that's why we'd prefer to entrust the task to those with talent.
If we're absolutely crushed for time, I can cobble something together as I have for previous fundraisers - but that's nobody's preference.
Great badge designs make for better incentives, so your work will literally help us raise more money for disaster relief efforts in the Philippines.
Since we are pressed for time, the selections won't be subject to user vote or anything terribly elaborate. If we see something we love, we'll use it.
If you'd like to submit a design anonymously, just send me a PM or you can email the support account,
Thanks to anyone and everyone interested in helping us make this latest fundraiser a success!
