Herro everyone, and welcome to the official Utada Hikaru badge voting thread for Award Season 2024!
Current Badge:
N/A
Guidelines and Rules for Submissions:
- 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.
- 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.
- Pre-Approval of badges. We ask that all OP’s submit their round 1 mocks to be pre-approved by an Awards member in the appropriate thread. This is to avoid badges that are not up to standards from making it to later rounds and dividing votes from other badges. That being said, we still reserve the right to veto any badge that we feel does not follow the rules by the final crop (this is especially relevant in crop rounds).
- 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 January 2022 or later (this includes scans, etc). Please do not suggest images that were released prior to this date!
- As there are not current badges for this artist, the rule of current badges being included in the final voting does not apply.
Tentative Schedule:
Timezone = EST, all rounds end at 11:59pm
Suggestions Period - 6/7/24 to 6/10/24
Voting 6/11/24 to 6/14/24

this one ( :mocks:
I agree, I have been living for the psudeo mullet look of the last few years
slicked back hair fits them so well
Just as a heads up, I moved this thread into the regular awards section since I didn't realize they didn't have a badge in the system yet! Sorry for the confusion 
(this one won't count against the limit if there are other threads you wanted to host updates for)
most of the suggestion + voting process is pretty much the same either way, so you're all good there! you'll just need to find at least 2 people to keep the badge (you can count as 1 yourself too if you're getting the badge later), then you'll follow the submission process from this thread instead when you're ready to submit the final badge

oh opps. I guess I should have noticed as well that it would go to another section but okie! So far I have one keeper (myself). Unless @choively is also going to, they did not say such in their quote so probs just me so far
Had to change some of the formatting of OP as it squawked at me for having 20 images
