Very good images!

But how does it look with a more simple font (e.g. some Sans Serif font)? I kind of like the style you want to achieve, but I still think that it is too hard to recognize the letter...

 

Does the number of stars on the banner have a meaning?

@@Azrael main idea was  to set crystals of brilliant on ribbon, and more crystals is more fancy, for 3 place (bronze)i think set only one, but small size kill  all view. More simple and easy readable symbol look cheap, i think with the last font there enough easy to distinguish every of 4 classes. (and tomorrow it do one with simple symbol and post therefor example).

And yet it only preview, and base ideas. So all need rebuild with more quality, if i could  i do, if not, we will try asking @@Frack do it - for perfect look,  his work always clear and beautiful look, i have not enough experience with small size images.

I really liked this font change:

Found other more clear for read font:

"So all need rebuild with more quality" the quality of your work is already great, i'll won't be able to improve it.

 

The more little the pictures are, the less detail you 'll see (with every subject).

@ can you try to put just another color for the symbols on the plec, i.e. a silver symbol on gold plec, gold symbol on silver plec, or just black symbols? just for better recognition maybe.

There  diff variants of colors symbols with simple font:

1  Gold pressed http://i.imgur.com/A0yIiWy.png

2. Blackhttp://i.imgur.com/4qL44Th.png

3.Sillver colorhttp://i.imgur.com/I6blWGw.png

4 Silver color with shadowhttp://i.imgur.com/w8RpfP3.png

5. There added global shadow for white themehttp://i.imgur.com/a2K3avf.png

Of these I like black best:

But, what about a silver lettering, or silver trim on the lettering
the black is a bit strong

 

Edit: Oh! I see you did silver letting, looks white to me
What about black letter with silver stroke?

Or, gold letter with silver stroke..

..and that more fancy script font.

SIlver, with shadow and fancy font( font very good personally for my)

@@ForgeOn Thanks for feedback! It very help with ideas.

Yet on with hybrid color symbol with path, without ribbon:

This looks good but the color is a little hard to see for the blue, how does it look for the other colors?
I might prefer the ribbon for seeing the color better.

did you try black letter with silver trim? and gold with silver trim?

 

Edit: the fancy letter looks so good! :D

@@ForgeOn What is trim?

Trim is the stroke. It is the line around the edge, right now you have a silver with black stroke/trim. would like to see a black with silver stroke/trim and gold w/ silver trim.
