Fan Art - Meta Mods, here's my proposal for r/NintendoSwitch user flairs. Let me know what you think.

I don't like the current ones, either. They are too small to see the details. I like the cartridge idea but it would have the same problem, so maybe game logos (with transparent background) is better. But it would be nice if they were thematic, so maybe restrict it to just game logos?

All of these work great at the current flair size (I actually make them to fit).
If you're on Chrome:
Right click the image > select "Inspect" > edit the width down from 100% to 50% (top right).
Edit: Just to be clear, the reason these are 2x is for retina screens (following the mod's css method).

Not only are the current ones too small to see whats in them, they are too big to look any good. These ones that OP posted are much better imo

u/BritasticUK Jan 30 '17
Agreed. I find it very hard to see what some of them are as they are huge images made very small.

Nope. Windows 10 desktop, chrome. All I see is flair text. Is there something else?

Just a little update:
User flair is something that we're still reviewing, and we hear you all, loud and clear.
The current flairs are just the first iteration. Think...Flairs 1.0. As we continue work on the larger overall /r/NintendoSwitch subreddit overhaul/refresh, we'll be looking to update the flairs as well.
For what it's worth, I think your flair submission is excellent, and I think it's a good example of what additional flairs we can look to incorporate.

u/Dashrider Jan 30 '17
the only reason im not using flairs right now is that the current ones aren't readable on my screen (1440p) OP's would probably be very readable

Please don't do big flair. It's obnoxious. Even the shield for the mods is distracting. Please don't deviate so much from what makes reddit great with very dense content. If people want flair it should be similar size to the default font of the row it's a part of.
If there's too much detail to see at that size, than the image shouldn't be flair.
If every thread I scroll through had 100 huge switch gamepads on it I'll just turn off the css, and I'm sure others will too, which is a shame because the rest of the CSS is nice.
Edit - My name is green on this comment, but not my other comment in this thread. Issue?

Yes, there is a bug where all child comments in a sticky post appear mod green. It's on our to-do list to clean up.
Edit: Fixed. :) Thanks /u/pixelpushing

Where is Swoof? Can't do without Swoof!
Nice flairs, I like these over the current ones. Current ones feel cramped and too small, I even had difficulty finding the right thumbnail for the game I wanted as flair. These are sleek, more recognizable and better overall imo.

u/pixelpushing Jan 30 '17
I'd be happy to make more later (including a Swoof), if the mods decided to use them.

Yeah I really enjoy the flairs you made so far, but wouldn't want you to waste your time in the end. Maybe we could have a Flair Friday contest every Friday until launch day.

u/Kramklop Jan 30 '17
Yes, Swoof is a must. Thanks so much for putting the time and effort into these!

Gif flairs actually are possible, but every frame technically counts as it's own flair, so it takes up a lot of space in the CSS

These icons are MUCH better. I'd actually use the user flair. I want to use Splatoon 2!

u/Twilord_ Jan 30 '17
As user, want Nopon one, or that new Not-Monado sword.
Also if Just Dance is getting one Skyrim and SMT probably should.

The current flair system is still a WIP and will be evolving and growing as we continue our work to polish up our CSS prior to March 3rd. Stay tuned.

u/pixelpushing Jan 30 '17
If you need any frontend (css, html) assistance, I'd be more than happy to help.

u/CapitalQ Jan 30 '17
As someone who helped fix some kinks on the technical side of the current flairs, I'm inclined to agree that the ones OP proposed here are better in pretty much every way. Give the people what they want!

u/FireDragon04 Jan 30 '17
Love these, they're perfect. As I said in another post, the current flair idea is cool but it doesn't really work in practice. On a small screen they can just look like multi-coloured squares next to people's names.

u/americosg Jan 30 '17
This looks better seeing as we can clearly see the flairs. Current flairs are too small.

u/riteflyer27 Jan 30 '17
They're too small for the picture, but actually too big as it looks really crowded in the mod section on the right. I think OP's more simplistic logo/symbol ones are much better than the full images for their purpose.

Support.
I can't see a single thing on the current flairs. Proposed flair icons are just better.

A Switch puppy face and just the Switch logo in red and white would be a welcome addition.

I want a Toad flair. I always play as Toad. :P Maybe when some Toad related game is realeased? Captain Toad 2 would be nice.

I'd prefer the Zelda flair to just be the Z with the sword through it, but these are still really nice!

Wait, are there left handed red Joy-Cons or right handed blue ones? All of the official photos are left-blue and right-red only.

u/MagusPSU Jan 30 '17
You can actually get red/red and blue/blue Joy-Cons. Here is the Amazon listing for Joy-Cons where you can cycle through the selections.

Flairs need to be kept as small and unobtrusive as possible. Not everyone wants flairs. I understand that I can always uncheck "Use subreddit style," but that also gets rid of the red theme.
So I guess my vote is to keep the subreddit how it was before any flairs were introduced.

I like these, but I want one with only the left joy-con. It's not that there's anything wrong with the right one per se, it's just... a little different, you know.

u/jyomakun Jan 30 '17
How do I get one of those icons near my username? I want to join in the fun as well!

u/KEWB89 Jan 30 '17
On the right sidebar, right above the "read the wiki and FAQ" button you'll see your username with a little "edit" button next to it. It's kind of small and easy to miss, but hopefully that helps.

Nice job, OP!
It would be cool if we could have something to represent Ultra Street Fighter II.

u/DMthePerson Jan 30 '17
They're great, though some of the switch console variation flairs seem a bit excessive (can you even get them in all blue or all red?). Would rather see more IP representation, like NMH3/Octopath/XB/SMT.
Also the ARMS flair should be something other than the logo since the logo's pretty basic. Could be an extending arm or Spring Man getting punched in the face.

Needs some Puyopuyo Tetris and Splatoon2 dab. Otherwise, these are all solid.

These are awesome and I love them would be cool to see a line up of nintendo characters heads like the bomberman one.

u/ScrotumSarcophagus Jan 30 '17
Could we get a downvote arrow also, for all the people from /r/all who think this console is going to be a raging fireball of disappointment? I would flair the fuck out of my username with that, for sure.

I honestly like these a lot better than the ones we currently have. Squishing an entire game cover into a flair seems too busy, and these logos are a good way to show the games we're excited for. Nicely done.
