More CE badges!

Hi,

I have one suggestion about CE badges for blogs and websites. For now, we have the "Proud to be a Crazy Engineer" badge (and that's cool!). But what if we add yet another group of badges for specific engineering trades.

In the profile snippet to the left of forum posts, we have this sentence saying "I'm a crazy Computer Science engineer" and so on. So what if we make badges shouting out the same idea? ๐Ÿ˜Ž

We can also add really cool graphics for different trades. Like binary numbers for Computer Science and Gears for Mechanical Engineers (Ah, clichรฉs!). Well, just some innovative graphics then! ๐Ÿ˜
What say?

    That's an awesome idea. Can someone work on it?

    Off topic: I also had this idea of displaying latest threads on CE through a customized RSS feed reader Wordpress Widget ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜ . Anyone?

    @eternalthinker-Kvsi5Y • Jan 16, 2011

    @ Big K ~
    I can TOTALLY work on it ๐Ÿ˜€
    On both, may be. But I am yet to get deep and dirty in Wordpress. I am rather staying in the comfort zones of Blogger at the moment.

    Anyhow, I'd love to take up the badges idea. Only that, it will be slightly constrained due to heavy college works this month.
    I can get to you with the initial designs soon!

    That's awesome ET.

    You are here and you are already started cooking stuff. ๐Ÿ˜

    Can't wait to see our new badges.

    In addition to putting the badges under our avatar, we can make better badges for people to download and use on their websites. ๐Ÿ˜€
    Nice initiative!

    @eternalthinker-Kvsi5Y • Jan 16, 2011

    @cooldudeiet ~ And do share your ideas on the same ๐Ÿ˜€

    @AKD
    Well, I was originally talking about badges for websites ๐Ÿ˜ . But hey, the badges under the avatars is also a cool idea.
    So lets make both the versions of the badges!

  • eternalthinker

    @eternalthinker-Kvsi5Y • Mar 23, 2011

    @yanivx

    Don't worry, other trades too shall be added as need arises ๐Ÿ˜€
    Also, do suggest some related art work that can be included (in the background) since I'm not really familiar with your trade

  • yanivx

    @yanivx-gvxfxa • Mar 23, 2011

    in the background u may have pics of microcontrollers OPAMP and transmitters receivers etc.

    @eternalthinker-Kvsi5Y • Mar 23, 2011

    @yanivx

    @ET: Make Mechanical in Green color. Its the color of my favorite team Pakistan. Can't wait to see India lose to Pakistan! lol

  • Kaustubh Katdare

    @thebigk • Mar 23, 2011

    The badges are awesome ๐Ÿ˜ . I'd prefer bit brighter and bigger badges though ๐Ÿ˜€

  • ISHAN TOPRE

    @ishan-nohePN • Mar 23, 2011

    @Biggie: Yup but I will have it for mechanical ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    Lol but say anything all badges are awesome. ๐Ÿ˜

    @ ET: Can you please add a building for Civil badge???

  • eternalthinker

    @eternalthinker-Kvsi5Y • Mar 24, 2011

    @ All ~
    Thanks for your good comments and encouragement, and glad that you liked it ๐Ÿ˜€

    @ Biggie ~
    I'll make a few in bigger size and post here soon. I think we can have a maximum dimension of 200x200 px without exceeding the limit of a 'badge' ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Do see them and decide which size id better ๐Ÿ˜€
    About making them brighter, do you mean the background, or the foreground text?

    @ ishutopre ~
    Hmm, but then again, electronics is also in green. I think we can have badges in all colours for all trades.
    But, doesn't having a single colour scheme make it more uniform? ๐Ÿ˜€
    I thought black for mechanical is more or less accepted widely ๐Ÿ˜

    @ maria flor ~
    Yes, if that's what a civil engineer feel, it shall be added ๐Ÿ˜€
    Let me see what kind of building can be added there without making the background too messy

  • ISHAN TOPRE

    @ishan-nohePN • Mar 24, 2011

    Yeah OK ET. Whatever you say. Accepted. Let it be uniform. Go ahead. ๐Ÿ˜€

  • eternalthinker

    @eternalthinker-Kvsi5Y • Mar 24, 2011

    @ ishutopre ~
    Okay, thanks ๐Ÿ˜€

  • eternalthinker

    @eternalthinker-Kvsi5Y • Mar 24, 2011

    Here's some updates on the badges. Again, do let me know further suggestions.

    Biggie, here is a badge sample at bigger size. Please let me know which size should I keep! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Suggestion from @yanivx : badge for Instrumentation engineering

    CE_badge_Instrumentation


    Suggestion from @maria flor : changes in Civil badge

    CE_badge_Civil

  • Kaustubh Katdare

    @thebigk • Mar 24, 2011

    The badges look awesome. If CEans want to use them on their blogs, I think we'll need variety of sizes ๐Ÿ˜€ . They can also be used in avatars on CE - but I'll have to make arrangements for bigger image sizes.

  • maria flor

    @maria-flor-8cAkif • Mar 24, 2011

    The civil badge looks more awesome!!!!๐Ÿ˜€

    Hello everyone,
    I have updated the above post with code that you can use on your blogs and website.
    The procedure to add the badge to your site is very simple: Just copy the code given the box below the image and paste it in your wordpress sidebar widget or add to blogger.

    Do post here if you like the badge and have posted in on your site. CEan eternalthinker has done a lot of creative work for this. [โ€‹IMG]

    PS: You can also share these on facebook and twitter.

    @AKD ~
    Its nice to see the badges are up and running!
    Hope this will make people from different trades feel more unique ๐Ÿ˜€

  • eternalthinker

    @eternalthinker-Kvsi5Y • Apr 4, 2011

    I've added the CSE badge to my blog as well. It sure looks best on a white background!

    Here's my blog link: #-Link-Snipped-#

    @thebigk • Apr 4, 2011

    I'll add once I'm done with few structural changes to my blog ๐Ÿ˜€ Great work!

    That's cool ๐Ÿ˜€

  • eternalthinker

    @eternalthinker-Kvsi5Y • Apr 4, 2011

    I think the code for civil badge links to the first version. An updated version was made as CEan maria flor suggested.

    The code for the new Civil badge is:

    Announced: #-Link-Snipped-# . Please check for errors. ๐Ÿ˜€

  • eternalthinker

    @eternalthinker-Kvsi5Y • Apr 4, 2011

    @Biggie ~
    Two little suggestions about the announcement:
    * You've given the link to my blog instead of my webcomic ๐Ÿ˜‰
    * As per the previous discussions in this thread, I think the civil engineers might prefer the new civil badge over the first one. Then again, its totally upto them! ๐Ÿ˜€

  • Kaustubh Katdare

    @thebigk • Apr 4, 2011

    Alrigiht, I updated the announcement. Please update the code on your blog. I've added trailing slashes to the site URL ๐Ÿ˜€

  • eternalthinker

    @eternalthinker-Kvsi5Y • Apr 4, 2011

    @Biggie ~
    Done!
    Off topic, I've always wondered how important trailing slashes are?!

  • Kaustubh Katdare

    @thebigk • Apr 4, 2011

    A trailing slash indicates 'directory'. For example, /forum is different from /forum/ , the former represents a file and the later represents a folder. Useful when linking to the sites - the appropriate location helps in better and correct linking.

    I really love these designs. Can I get a custom made CE badge written as: "I'm a Crazy 'Electronics and Communications Engineer"? I would love to host it on my blog.
