Vote! Official Membership Card Design

[Kaebora]

No malicious voting. Be a productive member of the Pack, and please take this seriously.

Here it is, the moment where the entire Pack gets to decide what will be the official membership card that will be eventually distributed to everyone. Or... if a redesign is in order. Vote Now! This vote will close in one week. You may also vote on your favorite, and post about any minor changes that you think would improve the design you voted for.

Design #1:


Design #2:


Design #3:


For those of you who voted for Option #4:
If you dislike all of these designs, explain why so we can consider how a redesign could be done. Not giving any input on this only makes progress impossible. Therefore, if you do not lay claim to your "redesign" vote, it will be subtracted from the overall concensus and considered to be a malicious vote. (If do not wish to post about it here, you can PM me your reason to vote for a redesign.) We NEED input on this if the first vote comes up empty, or else it's a neverending cycle of remakes.

I like 1 & 2. I like #1 because of the oval headshot. I think #2 looks more like a real ID though. I would take either or.

[MoonKit]

I like a combination of two and three. Three looks the most professional however two matches the site better (which i like) and I like the info on it better. Plus, the third one gives out the wrong website. Good job Kaebora!

[KittyRose]

1 and 2 both look good but I voted for 1 because I enjoy the oval picture and the overall design.

[Kzinistzerg]

I like design one. However, the picture ought to have a yellow border around it; currently it just won't fit.

Truthfully number two is almost as good, and provided it also gets a yellow border, I'd take it willingly.

[outwarddoodles]

I'm in for between two and three.

WHAT I THINK YOU SHOULD DO:

-- Take the layout of #3, but apply the blue background with the logo and wolves, and also replace the red/gray border with yellow. The blue background is much more visually appealing than the yellow/white/red/gray.

-- Put the Pack logo in the corner.

-- Keep the "Official Member" and obliterate titles such as "Admin or Moderater." We're all equal members here, even if I can't edit your post.

-- I like #3 because the signature and rectangle-ID make it seem more authentic to me. Keep those. (And the website url, except, with the correct url.)

Just my ideas.

[Silverclaw]

Didnt vote; but I agree with what Outwarddoodles said.

-- Take the layout of #3, but apply the blue background with the logo and wolves, and also replace the red/gray border with yellow. The blue background is much more visually appealing than the yellow/white/red/gray.

Only other thing I'd say is to keep the font/ font size of the first two

I like outwarddoodles ideas myself as well.

[Kzinistzerg]

i agree about the moderator thing. titles change, and we're all equal here.

[Kaebora]

Hmmm. I even brought up that position title issue before I designed it. Nobody rejected it in the discussion. How about we let Admins and "Representatives" (lookin at you Fig) keep their seperate titles, and give moderators "Member" titles, since moderators are just basically hall monitors. Not principals. We can lose our mod status at any time. Sound good? By the end of this vote, if the suggestions outweigh things, I'll make changes according to what is said here.

Not to strip you of your right to have the title but Admins can change. Its better (in my opinion) in the long run to just put pack member. It makes it sound more like a pack and less like a forum.

Fair nuff. I still want the Admins to keep their titles though. They deserve them.

After this vote, I'll set aside the winner and we'll have a more open discussion (in this thread) on ways to improve it before finalizing it for an "official" status. For now we're voting on what looks best in it's current form, and/or has the most potential after a few tweeks.

[Shadow Wulf]

God, I cant seem to choose between the 3. I think outwarddoodle has the best idea so far. you should add that as option 4.

[White Paw]

1

[Scott Gardener]

I voted in favor of #1 as well. It and 2 look more polished and pleasing to the eye than #3, and its design is more reflective of our current web site design. #3 looks cheaper by comparison.

I favored 1 over 2 because the oval just felt more aesthetically pleasing as well; it puts the Pack logo in the corner rather than plopped onto the photo, and having it round rather than square gives it a more personable feel, rather than looking like a mug shot. (for, say, Operation Blue Moon's Most Wanted?)

Design 1 is really nice and professional-looking.

[Kaebora]

The vote will draw to a close tomorrow night (Sunday). Hurry and voice your choice everyone!

[psiguy]

I am all for #3. It just seems the most professional.

[Kaebora]

Ok. Voting is over. Design #1 has won. Now, I understand that certain changes were requested...

-Yellow border around photo?
-Put Pack Logo in corner(s)?
-Enlarge Pack logo?
-Change layout of #1 to be like #3?
-Eliminate "Admin" and "Moderator" titles?
-Add website url?

What should be done?

[Midnight]

Having a look at #1... I notice there is a large Pack logo, but it takes a bit of looking to see it. I'd suggest more contrast for the background image (particularly if you can make the dark darker without making the light too much lighter, so that the lettering can still be read).

Otherwise... to be honest #3 had a more "professional" look to it... ID cards and suchlike are a lot plainer than the #1 style... but #1 was the best overall package.

[Kzinistzerg]

I suggest having the circular logo be more visible, with there being no logo in the corner. Make there be a yellow border around the image, like in #2. Eliminate the titles, except for admins. Also I like the "animal" category, if that could be added.

[Kaebora]

Well, if I make version 2 of card #1 tomorrow, should we have a vote, or just a general concenus through discussion?

[Kzinistzerg]

Discussion should work fine.

[Kaebora]

Before...


After....


Does this work better?

[Kalira]

That looks really good, I love the pack symbols in the corners. Really nice job Kaebora!
