I made this for myself, but I ended up using something different.

Here's my first submission. I call it Signception. If you like it, I can fix it up some more. http://imgur.com/P5sco

A sign inside a sign inside a sign inside a sign.

Edit: Does anyone have a decal tool for trade? I'm actually quite proud of how this design turned out and would love to put it on my conscientious objector.

I've gone through the process of adding decals to items, and there are few pointers I would like to share with both the OP and the entrants. Since the omission of the painterly option of the decal tool you have to be very particular with your selected picture.

The largest color scheme available to you while using the tool contains only 4 colors, a majority has 3 and some have as little as two colors. That means pictures with a lot of detail or colors will become very muddled in the process, possibly becoming unreadable as a final result.

Secondly you'll want simple symbols that can be immediately recognized, from a distance, rather than a wall of text or a very busy picture with a lot to look at. Most players will only glance at your sign, and even when killed by the sign itself, will only have a small window of time to see it.

So pick something that uses very flat, very few colors and that can be recognized immediately and easily. So far I believe Luna079's target design and Saenii's "objection" logo are the strongest submissions simply because they will work.

For my Clan Pride Medal I added a simple "1" to it, and I couldn't be happier with it. The original images I used were cluttered and hard to read. After trimming as much of the fat as possible, my victims can see clearly the message my medal intends.

My submission uses the principals of this post, and while it may not win, shows a nice example of what entrants should strive for.

Will one class in particular be using the Objector? This matters.

The Demoman's famous Smiley Face.

Because the original texture is so small, blowing it up to this size makes it pixelated, so hopefully someone with some photoshop skills can make this a bit cleaner. (If someone does provide a cleaner version I'll split the prize if this image is selected, just to be fair).

Here's my entry. A TF2 flavored peace sign. Hope you like it.

Clean White BG or Black Circle BG

"A conscientious objector (CO) is an "individual who has claimed the right to refuse to perform military service" on the grounds of freedom of thought, conscience, and/or religion." -Wikipedia

When I read that I thought a TF2 flavored peace sign would be fitting so I made one in Photoshop. I've got the image in up to 1200x1200 pixels if you'd like it any bigger than the 256x256 it is now. Also, making the background transparent or any other color is easily fixed if you'd like that.

Aaaand, that's it. Bye! :)

I always love the "god hates spy's" sign Westboro style. On my phone, I'll post a picture later, but youcan easily find it by googling. Just thought id enter this before it gets said. Thanks!
