@Jerlene: I'm looking for something brighter and more colorful, and also something that is a bit more in line with how you earn the badge, rather than just the name of the badge. @OriginalEXE: These are great. I really like them. I like the bottom four more than the top two; they seem more connected to the achievements. The other piece of feedback would be around the colors. I'd prefer something brighter and more colorful. The final logo is viewable at http://www.itsplatonic.com and could provide color guidance. Doesn't have to match the colors of the logo (either way is fine), that just shows the type of colors I'm looking for. Thank you both for your submissions and I look forward to your revisions and any other entries!
@originalEXE: Appreciate the revision, the colors are better. A couple more pieces of feedback: -Social maven badge: I'd prefer different colors for this one. It doesn't work as well for me as the others. Maybe something brighter? -Like the numbers for the first two, but not sure about the 'less than' symbol. Maybe make it look like the 1% and 15% are on an award? Or if you have another idea that's fine. -Would prefer something other than a number for the trusted badge, since it can be earned in two ways. This is one where it'd be fine to focus more on the name 'trusted' than what it takes to accomplish it. Thanks!
