Welcome to Gaia! ::

I guess we can start with the usual ideas:

1 - Everyone can do a small ID card type edit of themselves and have it rotate like a rando-sig.

2 - We can make a large scene edit with everyone in it.

3 - We can have a contest among the editors to create a banner.

here's the original banner and guild uniform thread.

pedrhaps to start we should hold a new contest for a uniform?

and a poll to see whos everyones favorite colors are beforehand

I have an idea why dont we pick a uniform and them make a scene edit of us doing stuff

He did, and not everyone submitted their edit, or got much facetime.
As much fun as a group edit would be...who would we comission do to such a vicious task?

I'm game for Darpie's idea of having everyone already in uniform, but I think it would be much easier on whoever does the edit if we all just pose in a way that's easy to arrange.

We could get all Class Photo about it. Have the captain and crew sit in the front with everyone lined up behind them.

OOoorrr...(this has flaws but) what if we Ping-Ponged it? Everyone edits their own avatar into the uniform, then someone starts the background (we'd have to take a tally of how many want to be in first) and we put our own avi in it?
That way the people who care and really want to be part of the guild are, and they get to participate.

for that purpose, the uniforms would have to be accessories in a mix n match style (ex. pugs shop) and you can create your uniform from the different looks but all the same articles of clothing.

or customize it yourself afteryou decide it. if anyone wanted pose or anything.

i think the ID cards could work with the scene photo edit

the problem with uniforms is when people don't agree on them. For example look at the big difference in the uniforms of iconoclast, shocktv3, and ursah bunny in the original thread. Iconoclasts uniforms were very milataristic, shocks were a random assortment of items with a jumpsuit that used the guilds colors, and ursahs were a sort of prep school look. Alot of people liked different ones, but no one agreed on which ones were best. We are definately going to creat some animosity if people are forced to use a uniform they dislike.

The big hit in the last contest was Ursah Bunny's AE Pin. Everyone loved it and she gave us permission to use it in our own designs. Perhaps instead of an entire uniform, we could have some kind of guild accessory, such as the pin.

Also, I guess I am tooting my own horn here, but in regards to my idea about the school archetypes, what if instead of everyone creating their own, we have specific uniforms for each type. Either made by someone officially, or submitted by individual editors then voted on.

As an example. Let's say the guild's colors were Gold and Blue, and the Archetype catagories were Jock, Greaser, Preppy, Geek, and Burnout. Anyone who wanted to submit an edit could create a male and female uniform for any catagory they liked. Maybe the male Jock's wear jerseys or letter jackets and the females wear cheerleader uniforms. The geeks could have pocket protectors and ties. Preppies might have sweaters tied around their necks. While greasers wear leather jackets. But all designed around a common theme.
