If you mark yes please state why and how they could make it better.

I think its just too similar to the Elite one and the Veteran's one is the odd one out. I would think the Legendary Founder Medal would be well... more legendary... I see all the awesome concept art and know they are more than capable. :)

I think the whole point was recognition, not looking freaking amazing

In general i feel the medals are just too *smack you over the head with a fish* a little star or something in the corner would be nice, but this giant garish token is a little much

I like the new ones though I still sorta wish it just appeared in the corner of your avatar rather than as a second avatar beneath it.

I hate how huge they are, I don't like what it's so in your face. Yes, I paid money, that doesn't make me the king of all cosmos. lol

Most of the complaints seem petty and the poll shows that only a small portion of members dissaprove.

Its a military game and the founders medal just happens to be shaped similar to todays military standards. Saying that and coming from a graphic design standpoint I think they are fine. They are simple and distinguishable and I am glad they made the decision to put forth a little more effort and give us a medal versus a line of text or a small star by our name.

Thanks guys

I don't see why the icon matters. I'd rather everyone get a cheapskate medal until they pay for it to go away. Yeah. I like that idea.

This might help even though I seem to be part of the few that are not 100% happy with it...

I agree. I feel the tags are kinda plain for how big they are, and I don't like that the Veteran tag is so different from the Elite and Legendary ones.

Maybe from a color standpoint they should be:

Veteran: Green
Elite: Blue
Legendary: Gold (as they are today)

Then shrink them and put them in the corner of the allegiance icon or something.

*** OR ***

Make them more elaborate.

Taking the time to say you don't care shows your care >_>

I liked the old ones feld more like medals these are just patches like you would show I am part of this group, not even suited for a rank imho.

Above all though:

I like shiny and old one was more shiny!

I liked the older ones better, but these do have more of a military feel. What might be a bit more interesting, if they do consider a redesign, would be differentiation like the US military uses - 1, 2, and 3 chevrons, perhaps, or an increasing number of stars. Something other than color to tell them apart. And yes, I could see going for a little smaller, though I don't want it to be unnoticeable either :)
