Gamertags & PSN IDs under avatar
 

Haven't pictured this yet, so it might look like crap, but wouldn't it make more sense to have gamertags and PSN IDs to be part of the information under your avatar. Seems more practical then going into a member's profile in the hopes that he/she owns a 360 or PS3 and games online.

Possibly a very, very tiny 360 / PS3 logo next to them rather than "Gamertag:" or "PSN ID:" which would potentially stretch something.

Well for Live tags at least, the score table under the quick links pull down shows the gamertags of the 100 members with the most achievement points (including banned members, hence your being on their twice). If something similar could be added for whatever the equivalent is on PS3 that might help. Failing that, I think an icon to show they actually have a tag at all might be better than listing it in the post bit, kinda like the gender and online blobs Acer was toying with for a while.

Running with that idea, a tiny icon that has an alttext or link title of whatever your PSN or GT or Wii Number is? Hover over and you've got your shit?

Under Join date would actually be pretty fucking pimp shit, gimme a moment.

Don't leave out the PC members. If you put up PSN or XBOXLIVE IDs, you gotta put up Steam tags aswell.

Time to play around with pixels again. =DDDD

That's kinda wide, Acer. I was thinking more like:

Nice, Skills. More pixel work~

Last one wasn't spherical enough and the X wasn't high.

Then again short text isn't bad either.

Do something for PSN and I'll work something out. I'll even try AJAX.

I really like the text icons. Here's what I came up with for the rest of them. =)

Wait a minute the Steam one looks a bit off I'm gonna edit it a bit and then make them individual icons.

Here we go~ Xbox Live, Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, PlayStation Network, Steam~

Looks good.

The L in the XBL looks like it should be one pixel longer, though...unless the contrasting color is just creating some kind of illusion.

You could also try making one that just says "LIVE" in the gray box and see how that looks.

Okay, here it is. http://e.photos.cx/xbl2-7fb.gif

How's that, Megalith? Which do you like? =o

Personally, I think you're right and it's better one pixel longer. Also, there is some darker shade of gray around the red because it wasn't popping enough so that might be the slight illusion you're talking about.

Get rid of the extra pixel. Looks goofy to have the L be wider than the other letters when not in context of the entire "Xbox LIVE" logo.

Tube, with the extra pixel extending the L the vertical part of the L is 4 pixels high and the horizontal part of the L is 5 pixels in length. They aren't the same length.

However, I'll extend the horizontal part one more pixel with a darker shade of red because with another bright red it looks a bit too long.

Yeah, not bad.

What do you think is best?

I was saying it looked better without the additional horizontal pixel. Adding yet another one sure doesn't help, lmao.

Last one.

Oh lol did you edit your post? Also, I'm trying to recreate the logo's lettering as best I can at that size. Obviously the PlayStation Network isn't the greatest since S and N are a pain in the ass to make at that size. I had to use in-between colors to create curves and angles.

RR, so by last one do you mean the one that has the shortest horizontal length?

I'd like to know which one you guys like the most.

Here's what my eyes are seeing when I look at the most recent one:

I was saying that the first looks best because all the letters look the same size. The second "L" is closer to the actual logo, but looks stupid to have a wider L when you remove everything except "XBL".

I actually prefer this:

Am I crazy.

Gotta antialias that stuff.

Wow, are we arguing over single pixels here? Personally, I think the L has one to many digits of Red in the websafe colorpallet....

No guys, seriously, they look awesome.

Yeah. Didn't see tube's post snuck in before mine, so I didn't elaborate more.

That's not bad at all. But the thing with the icons is that they are abbreviations. But if you all like http://www.photosled.com/uploads/7316/xbl3-7c9.gif better then I'm all for it. The mixture of green and red is nice though from an aesthetic point of view.

And loooooooool Tube. =)))

I'm down with all the originals that Acer posted in post #9. This is a really good idea, considering these are the -gaming-force forums and all.

I dig the XBL one with the short L.

If lurker comes in here and agrees with Diss then this is a done deal. Sorry but pixel crew knows best. =')
