I like @Mafia’s concept more than mine where I put admin at the bottom.

However, the logo without words is better & more simple. It says Admin under your name, so a bit redundant to include it on the avatar.

This is hard.

Trying to create something new & original but it is very hard.

You can only use the logo, or the role - the Admin, Agent, etc. or both.

Only logo - OG profile picture.
Only role - new profile picture.
Both - illegible, bad scalability.

So, the best option is: using the colors for your advantage - which I’m trying to do now :stuck_out_tongue:
Logo revamp would be good too, but that’s too much work I guess just for profile pictures.

My ideas, will probably post more later. Nothing original, but I think working on colors + small details is more than enough.


Decided to create small details in the logo. I used gradient, glow, outline and inner shadows for more depth and making it stand out a little bit. Why no text? Well because it doesn’t matter really, and it doesn’t scale well. The logo shows that the person is staff member, and that should be enough in my opinion. If someone wants to know what rank the staff member is, they can see it after clicking on their profile.


Details in closer look, as you can see the black background version is a little bit diferent. (Also the black isn't fully black, to make it look more pleasant to the eye)


It scales really well, well because it is just a logo. The details vanish when the picture is small, but you can see them in user profile.


Different color ideas, and an idea for admins to have black background, and agents/mods to have colorful background. Why? I don't know. It just fits for admins to have the elegant black color.

Thank you sir.

Dang @Rep!

What do we do with Alpha since he has a black BG?

It will work out I guess, there is even one in example logos.
I thought of making every Admin have black background, and mods/agents would have color background.

That would lead to some color changes, which I’m not sure if for example Goofy would want.
(It could be gray background, black logo - but could stand out too much. Or black background + gray logo but that would be too similar to Alpha’s then).

Btw, the last photo. I didn’t mean to make only 4 profile pictures to choose, it was just an idea for some colors.

should i pull something up

Hi, here is my proposal, I hope you all like it.

I forgot to explain the design. Making the entire design bold makes the avatar more relevant and combined with the Swapd logo in the center of the shield denotes the authority of the person wearing it.
As for the colors, I understood to keep the yellow for the admin which denotes warning, greater value, hierarchy. While the agent is the gray one who represents all of the above but at a lower rank.

Best,
