Rank icons suggestions topic

[dolmel]

OK folks, i need your help

I wanna see ur ideas about rank icons overall look. Their shape, measurements, colors, content, font, basically everything. You saw fine icons on other forum? Post examples here, maybe we could use it somehow.

Moreover, i need the best dota pics u have. Ive already run out of them. Pics which look fine after resizing
to fit this       


For example :

I have nice lina pic
http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs25/f/2008/034/6/4/DotA_Lina_Inverse_by_vic_mon.jpg
She looks good, np, awesome piece of art overall
However after resizing:

despiting the fact she is randomly cut, she doesnt look like a DOTA char at all
Pics also tend to look oversharpened after resizing also. So please choose them carefully, test them yourself

I need every feedback available, discuss plz

I'd really like to see Invoker as a rank icon. This picture seems very good (his face)

These are quite good dota arts although probably most of them would not be as good when resized -.-.

Gl with the project i am looking forward to see it soon.

I tried to do some appearance with some pics they bigger then classic icons but in same ratio so making smaller is np its just how should look like if some recommendations tell your opinion
and they are fast made so if some mistake or inaccuracy....

kingW3, I like yours but if you can only cut the head of that picture like dolmel said and put it, or at least send picture to dolmel so like that he can do that instead.

EDIT: joyjoy i believe you did not understand what dolmel wants, he wants rank icon, not signature icon, he wants to see how will u make this icon like I have now: Godlike, or Head B&U Moderator, or any other rank icon.

Thats a long link xDDD
But to the point... I wish I have terrorblade's icon aswell.

its not signature its rank icon design as i said I made them bigger to see it well so maybe its look for you like signatures but its in same ratio as rank icons so no problem to make them smaller







like these for ex.

thx joy for the effort, however you know i cant do anything with 3 sample icons. After resizing they'll be totally unreadable ;p And assuming there are only 3 or 4 pics like this (with cosplayed or photoshoped normal peeps) the old ones will be rather inconsistent with em ;p

I'm not looking for anyone to do a whole set if icons, i just wanna improve, refresh old layout somehow + add few new ones + replace some old icon's pics with new (like ench)

thx niki ill find something useful for sure.
atho those are almost the same pics over and over like in pd.com or deviantart
