♡ Official Kep1er Badge Voting Thread 2024 ♡ Status: Finished!

[tokki]

Hello, and welcome to the official Kep1er badge voting thread for Award Season 2024!

​

• No fantaken images. To protect the content creators rights as well as ourselves fantaken images are not allowed to be used as badges.​
• Only HQ pictures. For quality purposes. The higher quality, the better an image will look as a badge.​
• No heavily edited images. The more edited, the worse the quality becomes overall.​
• No extreme contrast, highlighted colors, or super light/dark images. They just don't look good when sized down.​
• Face should be centered. For aesthetic purposes.​
• Logos should only be used for groups & are not allowed for individuals (in most cases). We understand some artists are very difficult to find pictures of and will deal with that on a case by case basis.​
• Only screenshots from Music Videos, CFs and official content are allowed. If you're unsure what falls under this rule, please don't hesitate to ask on our ask thread.​
• Instagram Pictures. Selfies are not allowed, however, pictures taken by someone else are allowed (examples of such: here, here, here or here). Still, keep in mind that these have to meet all the other guidelines as well.​
• Profiles can be used, as well as some object coverage is allowed. Face coverage isn't totally ruled out but the more you can see of the artist the better. Profiles are OK if we can clearly tell who the artist is.​
• Derp faces / Exaggerated facial expressions / Unrecognizable. These will not be allowed, badges are not to be meme-like or anything that is out of the ordinary/unpleasant, such as: frowning, crying, etc. We will also not be allowing badges that look weird and in which people look unrecognizable - regardless of it being an official picture.​
• Zooms. Any mocks found to be too zoomed in or zoomed out will need to be readjusted, as all badges must be able to resized down to 74x74 properly. In the event a mock does not pass crop standards, it will need to be readjusted until our quality standards are met.​
• Final submission. The Awards team reserves the right to re-do a mock if we feel they are not in accordance to all the aforementioned rules.​

OP rules:

• All suggestions should be images that were released in October 2022 or later. Please do not suggest images that were released prior to this date!​
• Badge holders who were keeping a badge prior to June 5th, 2024 will have their votes counted as double for that badge. All other votes will be counted as normal.​
• All current badges will be included as an option in the final voting rounds - this is in case there are any fans who aren't fond of any of our new suggestions and would like to vote to keep the badge as it is.​

Honestly, some of the existing badges are still really nice and most of their photoshoots didn't look good in badge form or don't meet the guidelines, so I don't have many suggestions... ​

I'll keep looking for materials though - I mostly focused on trying to find pictures for Yujin since her badge is the oldest and we weren't able to update it when we made the badges for the other members, although her current badge is still nice and she hasn't really changed that much.

What settings do you have for your corners? I don’t think these are correct sizes for the corners, compare with tokki’s badges and you’ll see hers are more rounded Are you using Photoshop?

Are your corners 20 pixels like in the pic below?

I wish less of their photos were like this

felt that I wish their Japanese photoshoots were more accessible because they actually had some decent ones there but there aren't really scans for most of them

btw if anyone wants to be a keeper for Hikaru (and actually intends to get her badge and keep it...), please let me know! her old badge got deleted due to not having enough keepers who actually went and got the badge after they promised that they would we'll be able to add it back if there are enough people who will properly keep it but if there's not interest, we won't be able to hold voting for hers
