Official thread to request signature badges (both tiers)


Recommended Posts

I see some of the users have the yellow badge with their name in it. How do I do that?

Update (April 2010):

Go here and scroll down until you see 'Official Neowin Signature'. Click the image. Done.

EDIT (by Calum):

lcg has kindly agreed to help provide badges for those who request them, using The_Decryptor's script. Use this thread to request a badge :)

That would be fine by me. I'm more than happy to generate them for people. The script could also produce tier 1 Subscriber badges, but I'd need the tier 1 base image (i.e. the signature image with no username on it). I'll try and track down the PSD that Rob posted, as that'll have the base image.

I also just want to make clear to everyone that this is The_Decryptor's script, that he released. Kudos to him. I didn't have any role in making it.

The_Decryptor made a PHP script to generate subscriber signatures, and released it. I've got it installed on my site, so I've generated two versions for you to chose from. Credit goes to The_Decryptor.

Could you create those for me as well? Thanks in advance!

If you got extra time and don't know what to do.... I'd love to have one too! :) :)

Rep +1 from me as well lcg ;) I don't know how long these badges take to make, using the script, but perhaps this thread could become an official request thread for the badges? It's up to you lcg :D If you don't have the time, that'd be understandable, but I know some members don't know where to look in relation to the Subscriber2 badges. Does the script also produce tier 1 Subscriber badges?

Only downside is that I can't seem to add the image to my signature yet - I get an error message saying that it exceeds the allowed image dimensions when it doesn't. Which I guess is down to the few remaining quirks which still have to be fixed.

No big issue though, cosmetic fixes like that can wait.

Yeah, I made a thread about that. It seems the maximum signature dimensions have accidentally been set as 170 x 550 rather than 550 x 170.

Doesn't work yet - I still get

[#10211] This image is larger than the maximum allowed dimensions of 170 x 550.

when I try to add the signature image, the dimensions of which are 276 x 79.

Try adding it now to your signature, I tweaked some settings. And here's the Subscriber 1 background for you - thanks lcg :)

Yeah, I'm getting the same error too.

    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
    • It's listed #399.99 on Amazon, per your link. It's not $299.99.
