Design Challenge:Contribs.org forum badges

You might have noticed that a lot of users in the forums have a badge underneath their user name ranging from tasks they have in the contribs.org community to their donation status. During the years there have been a few flavors made by enthusiast members of the community.

The current ones look like this to give you a idea on what we are looking for. File:Forumbadges. As you can see they could at least use some TLC by someone with a little more graphic skills to improve the quality, therefore we suggest a design challenge to see if we have community members with graphic skills who can do better and come up with a set of nice badges we can use in the forums.

Regulations

Since no challenge can be without rules we decided on a small set to not limit creativity to much.

Ownership

All artwork will be submitted, including templates and other used items like fonts will be submitted to contribs.org community in order to ensure we can (re)create, enhance and modify badges in the future.

Decision

The decision on the eventual winner will be made by a limited group of people which will be fixed and not open for discussion. The following people will decide on the winner of the challenge.

Price

Since we are a community that does things for free you will not benefit material or financial when winning the contest. You will however get honor as well as your badges being used on the forums in the contribs.org community.
