New badge editor released

29-01-2018 15:00

Our new badge editor is an upgrade from the old one in almost every way. It includes lots of new options and content, and no longer relies on Flash to run. We have also taken this opportunity to lift the badge editor out of the Club Membership package, which means that all users now have free access to it! Have fun exploring the new badge editor and your own artistic abilities.

Some of the features included:

  • Lots of new ways in which to edit your image, such as path tool, pen tool and eyedropper. With a bit of practice and finesse you will be able to create exactly the badge you want.
  • New and much larger image gallery. Note that we may update this library in the future to include special MZ elements.
  • A wealth of shortcut commands to make designing easier, such as CTRL for selecting several objects or SHIFT for drawing straight angles. Feel free to use the forum to exchange hints and tricks with each other.
  • Group several elements together to make the design easier to work with.
  • Import images that were created outside of the badge editor.

If you have saved a badge using the old editor, you can choose whether to show that one, or one that you have made using the new editor. Note that the old badges cannot be altered in any way using the new editor.

Keep in mind that the same standard common-sense rules apply to the badge editor, as they do outside of it. No offensive content, no explicit images, and so on will be tolerated. Beyond that, you are free to go nuts with the capabilities of the new editor and we hope that you do.
