They are the same size already. But, for better viewing:

Personally, I don't see much of a difference. In contrast, while I'm using the dark theme, the blood stain in the background becomes more vibrant.

I agree it seems more vibrant.

What precisely is wrong with the condemnation badge? I always thought it looked cool. Much better than the Commendation one, at any rate. I'd actually have to actively campaign to repeal my own badge if it was changed, particularly to the somewhat crappy design proposed here.

Oh, is that what it's supposed to be? It thought it was silly-looking before; now I just think it's disgusting.

It's called idea evolution.

Would the badge change affect all previously condemned nations or just future condemned ones?

Actually, it's called "a difference of opinion". I agree with Crazy Girl - the new badge is NOT an improvement.

If [violet] chose to adopt this change, the most likely effect would be to simply replace the old image file with the new. All calls to that image would hit the same file, old and new alike.

Thanks for clearing that up. I think it looks nice, but it's up to [violet] for the final say. I have a feeling she'll agree with CG, Kat, Flib, and you.

Only problem I have with it after review again: that kind of red hurts my eyes.

That's the size Carta showed us all on IRC. I'm not sure if he made a bigger size.

I think it should be veiwed as a punishment.

But the people within the region do think of it as.

Why? "Here's a badge that says we don't like you killing those millions of tone-deaf orphans." What's stopping people from doing that again or say griefing/raiding a region or couping a feeder/sinker?

I really don't think a redesign is necessary, a recreation of it in a less pixelated format maybe, but it's fine as is.

currently the badge is ugly. it's too bright, i can hardly make the symbol out. this re-design is perfect, it's dark, mean and is definitely a badge that would make people think twice before doing condemn-able actions.

That's exactly what he did. he recreated it with a less pixelated format.

I'm not quiet sure what that red blob is in the background, but other than that it looks better than the current one, which to be honest looks really blurry and hastily made
