Award Icons

[Dwerg]

My idea is to use the icon with a number for recurrent events like weekly tournaments and leagues.
The point is purely aesthetic.

Would this designate how many someone has, or which event they won?

the idea is that instead of having 10 of the same icon in your awards, you'd have only 1 of each with a number showing how many times you got it.
That's mainly aimed at weekly tournament and league awards.

Can someone tell me what the cake award icon means? Btw, good idea.

[Dwerg]

I guess it means that member was already a member of the community when the game turned X years old.
it's a piece of elementsthegame's birthday cake
\/ for truth

The cake is a lie! It's from this thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,25910.0.html). Basically, anyone post there will get a slice. First come first serve basis. 
Back to main topic. I agree with the general idea; it looks nice and neat. On the other hand, it could involve more work for the mods - remove old ones and add new one with the latest medal count. And more importantly, it would lose the some details (date) of the awards received. If somehow the history could be preserve as it is now, I might reconsider the idea.

No.

When I entered and won tournaments, I expected to be given a bright and shining award icon if I won. No one told me that I would have a tiny non-noticeable number slightly increase in value.
You can't just devalue something because you feel like it. That ruins the hard work of many of the people with a lot of award icons.

This has been suggested, and turned down, before. Although it would decrease the clutter it would also decrease the value of all the current icons.

Think of it as a real-life trophy cabinet. Which looks better, a cabinet full of trophies, or one trophy with a big number on it?

I would only see a problem if everyone had tons of icons. This is not the case currently because we have been pretty successful in limiting the number of icons given, plus icons "disappear" when users take breaks or quit.

I think that a better way to achieve a similar result would be to for example combine 5 small tournament icons into one big one. This way we could limit the number of icons, but the awesomeness would still be there in a form of a bigger icon.

[Dwerg]

I failed to see that aspect of the thing, for me it'd still be the same thing, be it one or 20 icons(since it'd mean the same thing).
But ye, I comprehend and respect the fun you have on collecting things.
