I'm really excited about the custom monthly badge ideas you all have going on. Perhaps I will do a monthly task now eh? :D
For referrence, look at some of the badges in Clairity's post here.
You'll see that Goldney's fish fits perfectly into the style from when the badges were being customised each month.
Thanks Oneironaught.
Yea, that's what I thought too. Just a simple little recognizable thing in the middle.
GH, great reference...that's perfect for the badges. :goodjob2:
Really all we need are nifty little icons to super-impose smack dab in the middle of the badge...and I'm all thumbs for a wings revamp.
Thanks GH! :oops:
I completed the tasks but I was able to copy the monthly badge information from a thread originally created by Pyrofan1 (and later updated by Kromoh and then myself) that listed all the tasks and their subsequent badges. :)
Here's what I came up with. It seems everyone was behind revamping the wings so I did that. I made both a static set and an animated one.

I saved the photoshop files with all of the layers and if these get adopted I'll make those available so that the DV logo in the middle can be replaced with an image to represent the task of the month. The real photoshop images are 5 times the size of these, it makes them easier to work with and Photoshop can scale things down far better than any of us can.
Maybe we should start a vote soon on using a new design, a new month is fast approaching.
Yeah Jeff, it's really easy. Although Adobe Illustrator (a program that comes free with Photoshop CS2 and handles all .gif making etc.) is ridiculously bad. It complicates matters so much and so badly. Just trying to save a .gif is terrible. I was playing around with it and for some unknown reason it decides that my file should be saved in black and white, even though it was in colour.
My tip for using illustrator? Don't. Download serif photoplus 6.0 instead. The animation options are so, so, so much better. Which is surprising seeing as it's a free program. It's what I use when I'm editing my emu.
I don't know what illustrator is, use ImageReady instead, it's very easy to animate the gifs. Like I said, I left the layers intact so that it would be easy to create animated centre images.
Load the Photoshop in ImageReady. Use the Animation window, on the submenu click on Make frames out of layers. Then simply Save Optimized As...
For those of you who don't have the money for Photoshop, I'm fairly sure that Gimp has some support for animation, but I don't know how to use it.
I'm not sure how relevant this is but,GIFworks.com is a free online (nothing to download) GIF editor. I'm pretty sure it offers frame by frame editing and some other features. I've only used it to re-size GIF animations so I can't speak for its other features. But hey, it's free so you might want to check it out. If nothing else, it's great for resizing GIFs for avatars/sigs.

Made this one, for the "Pull your reflection out of mirror" thing. It's a bit hard to tell, but that's a monster coming of a mirror :D
Ignorants! All of thou!
I would be willing to make a custom one for each, I made two for this month and posted them in the task of the month thread.
I made two out of the new wings that I made for next months tasks. I can't post them here for obvious reasons, but for those of you who have done the tasks this month I put them in the suggestions for november thread in the lucid task club.
