So, as many of you have noticed, I designed a campaign ribbon for Closed Beta testers. You can check out the current "One Year of Service" version in my sig or in this thread: http://mwomercs.com/...ear-of-service/


I figured, with launch around the corner, maybe it might be fun to do a campaign ribbon for Open Beta as well (even if it's not as exclusive a club as Closed was). Here is my current idea:

As with the Closed Beta ribbon, the five center bars represent the four new maps. From the middle out: Alpine Peaks (blue), Tourmaline Desert (tan), Terra Therma (charcoal) and Canyon Network (puke green). Instead of the Founders colors I opted for white, yellow, and bright green as the primary colors of the ribbon - these are the featured colors of Sarah's 'Mech and the campaign to design and implement it. "Operation Heromaker" is also a reference to Sarah's 'Mech, as well as the introduction of the other Hero 'Mechs in this phase of testing.

Any thoughts?

I like it! Kind of wish I could use both of them in my signature. :unsure:

Maybe should make a signature that includes both ribbons but smaller, and maybe include a ribbon for Phoenix Project supporters. Though that latter part should probably wait until we see the mechs in a more finalized state, in case that orange/black/gray paint scheme seen in that concept art isn't final.

hmmm..... Well.

IDK< going by the forums, I would say we need to make the Open Beta Ribbon the color of tears, ragequit and immaturity, with a qolden QQ embroidered into it.

But I could be getting a little jaded.

Bow I gotta find out how to combine em, then minimize them so that the ribbon salad takes up one side of my siggy, instead of all of it.

I've put in my year, and i'd love to see a full "set" of campaign ribbons(i.e. Operation Inception, Heromaker, Phoenix, etc.) as they come along. Maybe we'll convince PGI to do something official for us old hands, eh? Good work on the ones so far, they look amazing.

I'm a little short of my year :)

Give me a few more months and I'll probably want to grab one though :)

Edit: for typo

I like it, and Hey PGI using ribbions to promote Game Play is a great idea. Think about It, If you fight for every day in a month you get a campain ribbions. Put them on our profiles, and when someone looks you up they can see the things you've done, not what you've bought. thats the problem with the badges. "yea we know your a founder, but are you any good?". With Campain Ribbions (wich could be diffrent for each house) you get "oh your a founder? and you have 4 campain ribbions! I'm going to go hide over here"

I love both of your Ribbons. Being a Founder / Closed Beta/ Open Beta/ Project Phoenix Pilot I'd love to see these stacked in the same image. Would you be willing to do this OR mind if I do?

I would love some salad for our profiles, makes me think of the ribbons they put on navy ships, maybe if they become official, have an option to place them on our mechs, under the cockpit or on the chest.
speaking of which, I think I shall do some arts now for a new sig, of which these will feature prominently.
