This one was easy to do... it's not really an improvement over the current achievement but it is a necessity if I am going to theme the achievements.

I am a huge fan of your work. I want to thank you for the effort you have put in. If I may give my opinion on the "Unearth Talent" change which some people seem not to like. I feel it looks a bit too cartoony and less dark and dirty. Like it's suppose to be a zombie's hand but it doesn't look very zombie-like. Just my opinion.

Hello again,

+ [I like my even newer suggestion more =D... next post pls.] +

**TheGentleman** · Tue, 12th-Jun-2012, 10:01 PM

I've had a second thought and here's my new suggestions.

Heavily based on the previous design, I feel this looks heaps better.

Unearthed Talent: Champion of a BSG and a name to look out for in the future.

+ [Larger version.] +

Golden Glory: Champion of a GPD, watch out for this player on his way to Master league glory.

+ [Larger version.] +

Reasoning:
- Green in SC2 achievements usually indicates the lesser of the 2 achievements (e.g. Team rather than Solo) hence the green background for BSG and blue for GPD.
- Silver medal for the lesser of the 2 achievements and gold medal for the greater of the two.
- Ribbons show the colours of the league (BSG = bronze, silver and gold and GPD is gold, platinum (white) and diamond (blue)).

Thoughts?

	Bash:	i like the old ones better (i just think they're uber cool), but your idea is nice
	syfChadMann:	^ I agree.. the old ones are better.. and winning a BSG is just as much of an achievement as GPD.
	syfMiley:	Not really an improvement imo
	nirvAnA:	I love the theme of the new ones, it looks nice and slick!
	xGKingdelete:	i like it, the previous ones are just irrelevant
	deL:	colour scheme could be improved but otherwise looks OK
	RicocheT:	I prefer the old ones, my opinion though

The idea isn't to improve it... it's to make all achievements match and look like a complete (smooth and not scrappy) set. For example the currently completed achievements look like they go together side by side:

NOTE: I'm looking into redoing this one as an SCV (again) in the new style.

I will consider re-doing the SCV as an alternative but please be advised that the achievements do not need to be solely SC2 themed any more due to the Diablo invasion.

I'm going to get a lot of mixed views regarding the homogenisation of these achievements. I kindly request that any comments you have on my work could be constructive. E.g. I prefer the old ones because... (and then fill in the blanks). Fact remains I will not be able to please everyone.

So GOOD!!

Amazing work so far. In my opinion, it's nice to have these new ones as a change. They brighten up the place more. Now if I could make some requests for the ones I feel should be changed as well,

1. Letters to Cleo - Awarded to the Scribes of SEA, who have produced quality content ranging from battle reports to articles or interviews.

2. The Gatekeeper - Awarded to dedicated members of the community who have taken the time to organise successful series of tournaments for the community.

3. Ayo Technology - Awarded to those who have helped sc2sea through the creation of banners, programming code and other funky techy stuff beyond the ability of us normal humans.

I think it is very nice what you are doing and I want more! As a side note, I disagree that it should all be starcraft themed. I feel our potraits are already starcraft themed so the achievements should look however they sound like. (if you know what I mean)

Yes, "weekly"... alas I'm merely copying the text directly from this page.

On another note... here's an alternative to the "Letters to Cleo" achievement which adds back in the easter egg. There are now 3 options.
