Looking for a new Gamercard idea

[Mammlouk]

O.k. guys here's the deal. I have a 360 gamercard generator that is setup and working fine, but the problem is this...

I'm not very good at coming up with ideas. I would like ideas of what people may be interested in for a gamercard. Preferably something new that hasn't been overdone... Any ideas are welcome although maybe not used

I am also open to anybody who wants to submit a design they've come up with and not just an idea. If you have a design you've made and would like to see become a reality post an image of it here or PM me and I will give you details on what I need from you to make it happen.

Thanks for the help!

Since I didn't get any input I kept tinkering on my own and here's the result. I need to write some new code for gif support so I can create it with a transparent background without IE<7 messing it up, but you get the idea even with it having a white background for now.



Let me know what you think.

I was looking for a card generator on other websites that would make it so I can put it as my Zune background or a picture to squirt, though it would have a bit of a problem updating the recently played games. But that doesn't matter to me. PM me on your updates!

Edit: Just saw your site and I think the one you have one your post looks the best but I didn't see it on the site... I could barely fit my gamertag in the 360 one. I don't like the ITrade.... things on there.

Wune,

Thanks for visiting the site. I agree that the new one is probably the best I've done yet. Design just isn't really what I'm good at, but I keep trying anyone. The itrade ones are because it's a site I frequent and do some maintenance/admin stuff on and they asked me to come up with something. I know they're not very good, but I will probably redo them once I get a little better with my graphics. Anyway, the one I posted will be going online hopefully by the end of this week. I'm just finishing up tackling some transparency issues (PNG transparency doesn't work in IE<7 and getting the GIF transparency working is proving to be bothersome).

As far as something for the Zune goes Wetworker is working on a site for zune contact cards that should be awesome when it's completed. I am also thinking about the possibility of adding the feature to my site, but don't want to rip him off although it's such a great idea. I would say the easiest way to autoupdate recent games etc. for a gamercard going on the zune would be a script that automatically downloads the image everday to a zune sync directory and deletes the current image off the zune when it's plugged in/syncing. It's a little outside my area of expertise though.

I will also see what I can do about getting a zune appropriate gamercard designed and online. If you have any ideas feel free to post them here or PM me.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Just wanted to let you guys know that the new gamer bar design is up on my site now in 2 flavors, gold stars or silver stars. I took out the automatic image preview for now in favor of a dropbox for a smaller overall page, so just input your gamertag and select your style, then generate in order to preview the image.
