@DVAted don't worry about editing the image of Shepard, I was only using it as an example and not an actual submission.

CURRENT VOTES:

105x300 - 0 VOTES:

105x320 - 3 VOTES:

105x350 - 3 VOTES:

Ok, so the above scoreboard shows the final tally, 3 votes for 105x320 and 3 for 105x350. No other GFX team member voted so I'm gonna make the decision, we should go with this - Min Size 105x320, Max Size 105x350. Anything in-between those sizes is fine.

Now onto the transparent backgrounds, @DVAted, @Drayce128 and @OakshieldDream provided good examples of what they could look like. Also DAVted pointed out that they don't need to be video game characters.

On to the scoreboard:

Transparent Backgrounds Vote

Yay - 4:

Nay - 0:

There is no change from yesterday, @Mattafex and @Drayce128 have yet to make their votes so there will a 24hr grace period for them to decide.

Oops! I got so wrapped up in making a sample yesterday that I completely forgot to cast my vote.
I vote YES on transparent images.

Transparent Backgrounds Vote

Yay - 5:

Nay - 0:

VOTE PASSED

Ok, so there we have it. User online images should be between 105x320 - 105x350 and have a Transparent Background. Preferably with no cutting of images used, which means images used should not overlap the borders this will prevent any visible edges.

Like This:

As you can see Daryce128 made sure Shepards whole body fit within the boarders and there is no overlapping / cutting of the image. But this isn't set in stone its just the preferred way of doing it, if the design is good and it does overlap the borders it can still be submitted for the voting process.

if anyone has any other design suggestions for the user online images let us know, otherwise we'll put this info out to all the GUNNERS so we can make a start on the first 25 we'll be voting for.

Ok Guys and Gals

I know we have voted a lot lately on the users online buttons but we have ONE final vote before we put the specifications to the community.

Will we allow Animations in the User Online Buttons?

I'm ok with it so its a Yes from me.

YAY or NAY

YAY - 1:

NAY - 0:

My vote is YES. It is a good idea, much wider design options, very good idea.

@DVAted - Maybe put a limit on number of frames? I don't know much about .gif animations so don't know if this can be implemented.

Seeing as there are three votes in favor and only 5 GFX specialist able to vote right no I'm gonna say this has passed

Results:

YAY or NAY

YAY - 3:

NAY - 0:

Now we just need to put the info out to the community.

Thanks for voting guys.

Although I'm a little late and it has already been passed, I too vote YES for animated User Online images.

I nominate these 2 to be part of the first 25 User Online Images we need. I have also suggested some changes.

Punisher by OakshieldDream:

Really like this @OakshieldDream, I would ask if you could move the skull logo up above the text at the bottom, seems to be covering it a bit.

Mad Max by Cruz011:

@Cruz011 This is awesome dude, can you move both Max and the text up a bit though to centre it a bit more, seems like there is a big empty space above his head, just looks a bit off. Maybe its just me

These wont be added right away, I'll keep track and once we have the first 20-25 we'll update the images.

I am with DVAted on this one. Currently I would vote no on them for the same reasons mentioned but after some adjustments have been made I'm sure I would vote yes.

Yes i can add "GUN" to the top no problem. I notice that i wrote "user online" instead of " users online"! If thats a matter please let me know to change this too.

here is the edited mad max users online button
