If someone can come up with some nicer rank icons than current, it would be much welcomed :)

It's the "head" concept for rank (just a concept ;), actually it's ugly :o)

Yea, if you could space em out 1 pixel or something... it's hard to differ 2 ^ thingys from 3 ^ thingys.

I can't doodle right now... but it could be, 1 shevron, then 2 shevron, then 3 shevron (all about 5 pixles high, and different colours symbols), then 1 shevron and a bar, and then 1 star and a bar...

yes 16x16 is very very small :cry:

Why not 64x64? :cry:

Because there's a very limited about of space next to player names. A size change of that magnitude would make everything very spaced out.

I would definetly not trade the curent ones with those. The curent star (rank 5) is very cool.

I'll just stick with current icons for now. If someone comes up with better ones, I'll change it.
