    Possible idea for an elite



    This image riffs off of a famous temple in Katmandu.
    I honestly don't know that much about nepalese/buddhist culture, so I don't know if this would be considered misuse of religious symbol


    @Methodical Management

    If you would like me to recolor-resize-alter anything Im happy to oblige.
    Im also happy to simply share my assets in case someone more experienced wants to take a crack




    resized these two as well. UNfortunately, the mountain one (my favorite) ends up with smaller font in this size

    Hey all, sorry I'm just now checking in. I will try to do something as well. To be honest, I doubt that I can come up with something better than the mountains idea. The real challenge here is showing the progression between the three badges. I will give it a shot though.

    It doesn't necessarily have to be different from the mountain idea, it can fit in with the other badges if that's what you'd like.  

    With these two, for example, the one that includes graphics extending beyond the NKETLK script could be considered "building on" the earlier version.  It's more elaborate.  

    The Typhoon Haiyan badges were designed by three different people, but the sense of progression is similarly demonstrated:

    $10 - 24  Basic Supporter Badge

    $25 - 99  Special Contributor Badge

    I don't have access to their transaction records.  As long as you didn't make the donation anonymously, I can match you to a contribution via email address, though.  

    You can PM me the address if you like, so it doesn't need to be posted publicly.

    Today was NOT the day we needed to have a DNS issue... hopefully we can get this back on track and have the badges in place this evening.  My apologies concerning the service outage.  

    For anyone curious about the status of the library we sponsored in Nepal, we won't have any news on that for some time.  Room to Read's Kathmandu office, and their field offices, are all closed for the week.  Some of their staff lost family members.  Those who lost their homes are now living in rescue tents.  

    While I don't have any specifics to share about the library in Vhingri, we do know that Room to Read plans to assist affected communities in their efforts to rebuild.  

    They've established a separate fund for this purpose, and anyone interested can contribute directly here:  https://www.roomtoread.org/Donate?f...gENWtP40hkTlnBCnhIA==&program=NepalEarthquake

    Needs in a situation like this are many, so it's worthwhile to consider long term rebuilding and recovery efforts in addition to immediate emergency response and relief work.  Our continuing support for Room to Read and our existing disaster relief fundraiser for Nepal via Mercy Corps should allow us to assist on multiple fronts.  

    Thanks so much to all of you for helping us respond together as a community.

    For those who dont have a credit card, a PrePaid gift card would probably work for this. 

    Another option is to PayPal the money to another NTer and have them make the donation on your behalf with your username. I wouldnt mind doing that for some people and I dont think it would become a disastrous situation, maybe Meth or another admin would be willing to be the broker for such a thing, or some other "trustworthy NTer".

    Sorry for the misunderstanding... I actually donated through a credit card but it also didn't send me to a comment page. I can pm you a screen cap and receipt.

    just want to see how this translates here...


    I'm a fan of flat designs. I think they are more effective since the size of the badge has to be so small.


    edit: changed the font to white and lightened it up a bit...

    I prefer the second one it seems way more visible with the NT black background.

    Awesome design @lobotomybeats !



    Agreed. The white looks more striking somehow. But maybe a brighter color for the Temple would make that version more visible. The Black/grey tower still kinda disappears in both versions.
