Badges: Large Size?

Badges: Large Size?

I have only been at WCG for a short time. I was wondering is there are any larger versions of the badges around than the tiny ones, such as appear next to this forum posts. It is a little hard to see what the design is on these badges.

It might also be nice have to some WCG desktop wallpaper with nice images of the badges. If done right it could be presented with all the badges and then someone could use a photoshop program to adjust it to just the badges they have.

Might be nice to have a certificate with the badges one has earned. This has probably been suggested before elsewhere in the forum. We have already shown we care for the projects, but these little things can help keep our attention, so we do not get distracted from WCG due to other things in life and slow down in the work.

Re: Badges: Large Size?

Hello

I think it's a great idea to create some wallpapers for WCG. Maybe even not with the badges - but with some sort of WCG logo or made from high-quality projects graphics.

Or, maybe, WCG admins could issue a chalenge for fine-made wallparers with some prizes like t-shirts or sertificates?

Re: Badges: Large Size?

I would envision something like this, though I do not have good images to complete it.

Re: Badges: Large Size?

This would be great for people in offices trying to interest workmates in crunching. Then, some of us would give up running screen savers, whcih act as catalysts to get new folks attracted.

Re: Badges: Large Size?

Hi!

Unfortunately, it seems that the idea is not interesting for admins.

Re: Badges: Large Size?

I'm using the original science illustrations for some custom graphics.



Meanwhile, keep the ideas coming. Even if 1 out of 100 is taken, it can be called a success. Wallpapers and enlarged badges all registered as ideas that go into a "what shall we do next" planning list.

Re: Badges: Large Size?

We hope to be adding milestone certificates soon, which I believe will address the wallpaper idea to some extent. The idea for certificates is to print them out and hang them up (for your office mates to see), but we will see about adapting them to work as wallpaper as well.

Re: Badges: Large Size?

Hi!

Besides milestone sertificates maybe milestone greeting letters should be added too? With a link to a sertificate, for ex.

While I see the need for recognition as a motivator for some members, I get enough email as it is.
