Here are a couple of starting points. Trying to make a compact badge that will scream Tennessee without creating any intellectual property problems. Lemme know what y'all think.

I really like the one with the text. Others' thoughts?

I agree, and that's what makes the badge tough. You don't want to just make it a badge of text cause that can be boring, but you also want others who aren't associated with this specific board to know what it is. I think DGAtl did a good job of that.

Preciate that. I wanted to hit you with a plus one back, but that dang Chuck Norris thread used up all of my votes for today.

... I thnk it's going to be a combination of longevity (over a year as a VIP) and participation (right now we're leaning toward 366 posts and higher - being that if you've been here a year hopefully you have made one post a day on the board).

Crap. I guess I better start posting more often. I used to try to comment in threads that I actually had something to contribute, but I guess I will now post a lot of "Great post, I agree +1"....

I kind of like the one without the text. As others have said, it's hard to include text on such a small badge.

It's certainly a small canvas to design. Anything behind the version with text is too busy to be legible.
I also liked the silhouette of the Volunteer statue, but wasn't sure on its status as university IP.

Not positive about that, either, so rather be safe than sorry.

Hello everyone,
Wes, Ryan and I have been kicking around the idea of creating a badge for folks that have been loyal to the site. I thnk it's going to be a combination of longevity (over a year as a VIP) and participation (right now we're leaning toward 366 posts and higher - being that if you've been here a year hopefully you have made one post a day on the board).
Right now my idea for the badge is the "Torchbearer" badge. It is symbolic of UT, and if you stick with the site and contribute to the board you could be considered to be "carrying a torch" for the site as well.
What do you guys think? Like the idea? Like the criteria?
I don't want it to be some crazy lofty minimums, but we want it to mean something and be a badge of honor as well.
Thoughts? Fire away.

-KR

Love the idea.

So, is there a target date in mind yet to kick this off or is it still on the drawing board?

You can replace my LNC badge with it. I want to keep the George Washington one....
