I was checking out the cool user bars you guys have in your sigs and the thought occurred; why not make some JKA specific user bars?
Possible Categories:
Single Saber User Staff User Dual Saber User
Kata User Butterfly User Wiggler Poke User Lamer HP Runner Scripter Model Crasher Delay User Saber Dancer Hurricane User Rage Quiter Time Nudger
I realize the above list is not complete; If enough people are interested in the project, we can make an official list later on.
The project will start off by creating a very basic style guide, then assign categories to participants. Each participating designer will apply the style guide to the user bars assigned to them. As to who creates the style guide, I am pretty open to whoever can create the most well liked solution.
But before I get too far, a good first step would be to see who all is down to partake. I think a minimum of 3-4 designers would be needed to make this project worth while. If this sounds fun to you and you can commit, please make that clear in a response below.
Thanks ;D

I'd need to see the design structure before I commit, just to see how difficult it will be and what would be involved in the design, but I'm pretty down it.

Chiugo, since you responded first, I'm going to let you take the lead on this. If you should so choose to accept it!! Please take a stab at one of the categories above, my initial thoughts are that some in-game screenshots might make good background materials. Also, I'm guessing the background should evoke the category in some way. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!!

oooh thats one of the more abstract ones. If you get stumped feel free to grab a screenie of some console type. IMO Disconnect says it all. The main goal is to pick a font, and other common elements; glare, shaders, textures etc that will be used across all the other user bars. Looking forward to seeing your solution

Dunno when I'm gonna' be able to do this userbar, just got back to school and realised a couple of my assignments are due the second week of term, not third or fourth. I'm gonna' be stuck in the mud doing assignments and playing a game of catch up. Sorry ):

It's all good man, this is just for fun. If you have time you have time if you don't you don't. I might take a stab at one in the mean time.

i'm not in love with the font, any suggestions on a good bitmap font for these userbars, all the ones I could find were either too small or too weird.

You could try Silkscreen from dafont.

The general font used on most userbars is "Visitor TT2"

ended up using bitout (strictly because of sizing reasons)
