I'd like to have a couple badges made, but Im not that great with photoshop. Anyone wanna help me? --ShabiDOO 18:56, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe... what's the pay?◄► Tephra ◄► 19:06, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

If you do it, then I promise not to track you down and decapitate you. Its a great offer! --ShabiDOO 19:44, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

@Shabidoo What kind of badges? ~Pleb the magic! 20:21, 05/13/2012

There are two that I have in mind. The first is to have an "writer of the month" one. As you can see...uncyclopedian, pee reviewer and magician of the month have badges, however writer of the month does not.

+ +

The second badge, is one for the admins, for the admin of the moment vote thing that happened. Whoever makes one could use their imaginatino. In any case, its a pretty low level priority thing, but if anyone could fashion either of those two (or both) I would be so happy I'll paint my nails red with hot moulten lava! --ShabiDOO 21:26, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

I would recommend keeping the award for Writer of the Month the way it is. Since it is the highest honor, you get a trophy, not a badge. -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 21:34, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Writer of the Month isn't the highest award. Month of the Month is. Word has it that May has a lock on it this month. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 22:13, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

@Modusoperandi Month of the month, you say? Hey, we should seriously have one of those! Really, we should! Just as a joke award, of course. ~Pleb the magic! 22:16, 05/13/2012

@Shabidoo Don't forget the Perv of the Month badge! ~Pleb the magic! 22:05, 05/13/2012

I didn't ask anyone to change the award picture, I asked if someone could make a badge version, incase someone would like to show it as a badge on their user page. Its not a big deal, however if someone likes photoshopping its an easy and fun challenge. As for the admin thing, it would be nice to hand those badges out to the winners. But again, only if someone looks forward to the challenge of creating a badge from scratch. --ShabiDOO 23:13, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

I prefer we keep a trophy for Writer of the Month, Writer of the Year etc. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:55, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

And Radical X made the Writer of the Month trophy in June of 2005, so it's kind of a historical and traditional trophy. We have to keep some continuity here, or soon uncy will be all Justin Bieber and Dark Shadows. Aleister 10:48 14-5-'12

Vote to keep the trophy as the trophy

• Seems like there is a consensus.

Admin of the moment badge

if anyone feels like making it that would be nice. --ShabiDOO 11:00, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the admin of the moment business, could you link me to some relevant pages so I can get an idea of what it is about?◄► Tephra ◄► 13:32, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

There was a friendly vote to see who was the "admin of the moment". Users and a couple admins voted on it, its not a particularly serious award and so any kind of badge would be fine (funny or strange or bizare). --ShabiDOO 19:04, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Well I'm still not entirely sure what admin of the moment is, but perhaps this will do?

I put the image through a filter to make it look a little more like it is made with thread (there are a couple things I know to do with image programs). Does it make it look better, or does it make it look gay? --ShabiDOO 22:43, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Nah, it doesn't look gay... Looks more like you baked it under a sun lamp for twenty four hours, dunked it in acid, and then took a dump on it. I uploaded a new version with a cloth-like texture added to the hand.◄► Tephra ◄► 23:05, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Okay...thanks for that...but are you sure you uploaded the new version? It seems identical. ??? --ShabiDOO 23:21, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

That's because Wikia is gay. You should be able to see the new version if you go to http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120514230007/uncyclopedia/images/d/d0/AotM_Badge.png?action=purge ◄► Tephra ◄► 23:38, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Hey thanks again UU its really good. Ill wait until wikia the fag renders the new version. How did you put the grid pattern on it? Is there a filter? or a tool? --ShabiDOO 00:17, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

It's a filter. If you're wanting to know specifics, it is the Artistic filter Apply Canvas at a depth of 1.◄► Tephra ◄► 00:37, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

You are royalty! Thanks one more time. Did I say thanks? I think Ill go to your talk page to say thanks there as well...at least four times. So yeah...thanks. TNKS! --ShabiDOO 01:15, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

Trophy scmophy

Is this anything like you were hoping for?
◄► Tephra ◄► 11:39, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Ooo, that looks nice! —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 11:42, 14 May 2012

Jesus that's totally utterly awsome UU. You'll have to tell me some time how to make one some time. In the meantime it's exactly what I wanted on my user page. I owe you three wishes now UU (and no...you can't ask for more wishes)! --ShabiDOO 16:31, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Making badges only requires two things, a graphics program (I use GIMP) and artistic talent. Only one of them is easy to acquire (it's GIMP, by the way). Now, on to my wishes:

1. I wish to be crowned Emperor of Uncyclopedia for life.
2. I wish all articles I write to automatically be featured before anyone has even had a chance to judge them.
3. I wish editors were required to have an IQ higher than that of a llama and the wisdom to know the difference between a joke and something your friends laugh at.

The really sad part is #3 is going to be the most difficult wish to grant...◄► Tephra ◄► 18:11, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

#3 is crap anyway. Pretty much by definition, nobody who edits here has friends. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 18:22, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Well I use the term loosely, I mean that group of people you stand around and talk with at work/school/dark alley/imaginationland simply because none of you have somewhere better to be.◄► Tephra ◄► 18:26, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Your wish is my command. But remember, wanting is not the same as having! --ShabiDOO 18:34, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
