This is what I came up with. Post by kena // May 11, 2008, 9:11am kena Total Posts: 2321 It looks nice. You might want to give it some dimension. right now, it looks kinda painted on.

Notice I also used some smudge on the gold portion to give it a roughed up look which helps with giving depth. May have to give the badge holder a lighter background so the drop shadow can show up.

However, I'm not so sure of the overall design concept. The “leather” wallet does not really fit with the Star Trek ethos in the fact that I don't think in the 23 rd century they will still be carving the skin off of animals to make products. I'm not trying to be negative here and I think your phasers are quite superb. Its just that if your badge is to be used in a Trek environment, and judging by your design it is, then perhaps it should be more in line with the era. As a point of inspiration, I think it was in Star Trek 3 that Dr Mcoy was flashed a holographic Id card when he was being questioned in a bar by some sort of enforcement officer. Good luck with the project and please post any future Trek designs.

I think some depth to the badge would indeed be a good thing. And maybe a badger or two as well. HTH! Tom
