The Great Automation Badge Grid [NOW OPEN!]

The Great Automation Badge Grid

Overview
About a year ago, the AutomationHub Facebook page posted a picture of a 'badge grid' of some of the companies currently on the website. However, it didn't have many on it, and, seeing as it's been a year, there are now many more companies in Automation.

So, my idea is that we have a new, regularly updated badge grid where people can send in their company logos/badges and it'll be added to the collection.

In order for this to look good, all the badges will need to fit into some set dimensions which I will decide on later. If anyone has a rectangular badge that has to be significantly reduced in size, I'll allow the picture to have the same height as the other badges.

Submissions
Either PM me or post your badge in this thread. Make sure your badge is the following size: 170x170. Please resize the badge yourself.
Please include a link to your company thread/AutomationHub page/relevant site so I can link it correctly.

Submissions Are Now Open!

one question, would it matter if our badge was modeled or not?

What do you mean by 'modeled'?

like does it have to actually be a badge that is able to be used in the game?

Would be ultra cool if someone was still doing in-game versions too....

Yes please!

That said it'll need to be laid out in an organised fashion. Are you planning to do it alphabetically?

Good point. Alphabetically would be the most logical way of doing it.

Hopefully this won't be too much of a problem. I'm thinking that badge size would need to be around 200x200 to 300x300, as that way it'll be easy to fit them all on screen and still have some quality.

The main reason is that it takes work, for something probably only one person will ever use, and sometimes for not very long.

So when modders do modeling, they prefer doing something everyone will use.

Ok, I've done some testing, and 170x170 seems to be the best dimensions. For comparison, that's roughly the same as the Erin logo in my signature.
