Nip, definitely getting better, but I still feel the all caps is harder to read and lacks proper spacing between words. The cartoony desert looks better than the orig. to me.

Nikon, your http://i.imgur.com/JGUz5.jpg has a typo in "Rankings" (URL line).

While I am not a huge fan of the 'LADDER' font, I think Nips fit in with the game a lot better and wouldn't get boring as fast, (no offence Thorn, I have a very similar image to yours as my desktop BG, I think yours look sick too)

Thanks for the feedback, I wanted something si fi, but I guess that doesn't mix with alty very well. I'll try to find or make some new bg's for them. Do you at least like the text part?

the text is still hard to read, and not as aesthetically pleasing as the colors pink and blue mesh with the pink and blue bg too much. In the second, the red and yellow text isn't really doing it for me. What the main problem is that your backgrounds don't really correspond to the feel of altitude at all, which in turn muddles of up your text as well.

hey nip i agree with ingbo how its not really related to altitude

those designs are SICK tho, maybe if you made them like...mayhem or core...instead of random alien cities

or like a field of asteroids

or like a court...that is hard...

1 and 2 are similar to the Altitude logo (relatively). 3 is too busy, 4 is too deep.

well just to clarify... i meant the feel of the bg's not the actual material in them. so like nips overall feel is awesome for altitude even if they arent like bgs of maps or whatever i still love them.

nikon since id prefer the bgs to have a playful cartoony type feel to them id also prefer if that was the case for the letters, whereas i feel urs look kind of strict which match to ur actual bg but imo doesnt match with altitude.

I still prefer Thorn's. With a few alty elements I feel it would look damn awesome, and show some new people that ladder is just a little more serious than pubs.

This. It can pass off as asteroids background pic + alti elements.

Plus Nip is obviously favouring TBD, so Thorn gets my vote. Nip's TBD pic looks way better than the ball one, Where is the night-time ball pic Nip

Minor point, 'Any' is highlighted in one pick but not the other, Nip.

Personal opinions.

Thorn's - Really sick graphics, The background is dark so you can easily see the chat and it doesnt blind you after 3 games. It isnt really related to altitude but the fact that its simple and isnt invasive makes me want to have it. 8/10

Nipple's - The style is perfect for altitude, night beats day 100-0. 7/10

Nikon's - The most polished one, very good looking but it doesnt fit with altitude and looks like its about another game. The writing beats the others though. 6/10

The second line is disingenuous - it implies that only 10 players may join...

Perhaps alter it to say "Players wishing to participate in a match should join a team to await the /vote custom start_ command" or something to that effect...

Nip: Add da bases on the bottom left and right sides perhaps? Make em seem like they are part of the background on the sand.

Also, smaller and straight health boxes imo.

EDIT: Maybe a plane on da base too?

Nip, where's the ball version of the night pic?

TBD looks really nice, one minor thing, perhaps the line should be worded as "The format for starting a ladder game is as follows:" instead of "The format for starting a ladder game _MUST_ be done in this order".

Also logically the 4th point should be a "sub-point" of 3, indent it and use a different bullet point pic perhaps.

Nice work so far, now give us the ball night pic!!

Nip, perfect!! Pretty good ball lobby pic.

I'm fine with Nip's pic chosen as well, seems Thorn isn't updating his dunno.

yeah Nikons looks pretty good too right now..hmmm tough choice


One thing i would like to see tho, is whatever lobby is chosen could we please have it so that you are actually able to fly around on it? I'm not a big fan of the current ladder lobby restricting you from flying around.

@Goose well that's a whole different discussion completely, Nobo's choice imo.

@Nip, I was going to use some of those but I didn't just want to copy you :/ And what's wrong with the body text? I think it's easily readable.

Flyable lobbies incur, on average, 38% more time needed to organize matches than non-flyable lobbies, according to studies.

This is reduced to 0% more time when the server organizes the matches for you.

And people are willing to wait 76% longer to get enough players for a game to begin.
