If they must be Mudokon heads, can't we at least use these non-blurry post icon ones?
I only just noticed these, which is why I attempted to make some myself in the other thread. But these are much better.



EDIT: thanks Alcar!

ANOTHER EDIT: "Sorry! This forum is not accepting new posts."?

T'was a joke.

The reputation bars are tiny so that the user information box isn't stretched.

Tiny is fine, but they just look like coloured blurs. If you hadn't seen the Mudokon emotion icons before, you wouldn't have a clue what they were.

Well, this is a forum dedicated to the Oddworld series.

The only icon I would consider blurry is the Wired mudokon - and even then it's only its eyes.

At such small dimensions, you have to forfeit certain features.

I'm sorry but I have to agree. The change is awful. Please change them back or at least give us a poll.

Just because times change doesn't mean we should change everything regardless of taste. Some things are better left untouched. I'm sorry but the new icons are ugly, the wrong size the wrong shape. The old ones were much better in my opinion. Some of us do care, which is why a poll should have been done in the first place to see if everyone would like the new icons.

The old icons were plain and boring. I jumped on these are they are Oddworld-themed and work nicely.

Don't change them back, this will probably be the most interesting thing to happen here for years.

Most other forum changes are gradual and/or discussed prior to implementation. I'll keep quiet for now until more people give their opinions.

Why couldn't it be slig heads? :'(

People are usually afraid of change.

DOn't worry people, in a few days it will be as if it never changed.

The new icons are fun I like. I was wondering when we were gonna get oddworld-related rep-icons.

I think I'm already used to it. They're hauntingly... familiar, somehow.

I hate them, and yet... and yet... I think I love them.

I like them. I think I'll go and check up on MS1029 to see what his rep bar looks like.

EDIT: It looks bad in the sense that you don't want to get that much negative rep. Heh.

I like the happy mudokon symbols. But I think that the wired mudokon symbols look too blurly. But overall I like them. It is an Oddworld theme after all.

I don't mind them at all, but still, it does look a tad unprofessional. It's much more Oddworldy though.

Were they intentionally stretched vertically?

I think that maybe just taking the happy mud picture and changing the colour to green might be ideal, to get rid of the creepy blurriness.

How does it look unprofessional?

This forum is about Oddworld. So why have rep bars that releate to Oddworld?
