Instead of having 5 main colors have one and this little box:

More variety.

I think that we should just have a selection as opposed to a palette. I like the idea, but then people might end up asking for more shapes, etc.

Yeah , They probably would and that would be a pain in the ass.

I think that's a good idea. Since the sheilds will be more common they need variety.

I don't know how this would work. We upload images of the armatars, and those are what you choose. They aren't interactive at all. It is just a .jpeg.

Then perhaps making them two toned, with the background one color and the shield another, would be cool. And you can pick 5 or 6 colors or whatever and just do the color combinations available from there. That would create 25-36 different combinations for people to choose from, although I know it would be a bit of work to do them all individually. I'd also like the shields more if they actually had the AG swords on them as well. Not sure how feasible it is for you to add those though, given the size of the image.

An Armatar with the AG Logo would be cool with a coloured background.

That's why I think that if you just added a greater selection, it would work better.

Five is just a little blah. The idea is awesome, but it lacks some awesome colors, and having some other hues for the existing colors would be cool.

You could do it with css or a webscript, the gradient is the same so only the main color changes. But it would be painfully to implement though.

Although I don't like the shields, this could be considered for AG 3.0. Implementing selectable shield colors in the form of a palette.

Oh, and you could add shapes too.

I love my armatar.

Shapes would be like
Shield
Sword
Swords and Shield (armorgames logo style)
Bow and Arrow
Stickfigure?
everyday shapes? (square circle triangle star heart the such)

Probably, everything depends. Preferably they'd be medieval themed.

OOooooo, more colors, I can't decide if I like green, my favorite color or this hot pink. I know hot pink isn't medieval but for now while the shield is stark white it works for me. Like I said on the other thread in the Tavern, I know it's a fad but it seems AG is really trying to give us something fun to play with while we wait for the summer armatars and for 3.0 to come out.
Please Escartian, no stick figures. Everything else you mentioned would be good. I don't think Knight liked my idea but I'm going to add it here for those that may not read the other thread I mentioned above.
My idea for a design is to simply take the rank symbol located under everyones post(s) number(s), starting with wood knight and place it on the shield, like a coat of arms. Since I slept with this idea in my brain I think it's opinion polling worthy. The rank symbol would stay where it is now and the one on the shield could be larger or smaller but I would that that part of the design to be interactive. I look at this way, some of you have mentioned the crossed swords, like the logo and that's great but it still leaves the center of the shield plain.

What say you?
ps has anyone seen Strop's shield, he cheated! No, it looks great but he was able to Burger King it, you know, "have it you're way"!
