i want us to use this thread to talk about our cool flairs!
as some of you know, i'm a very passionate person when it comes to making flairs (the fancy backgrounds that many users have on their postbit when they post around, for those unfamiliar) that just fit. my current flair bg, for example, is nice because it fits with multiple avatars that i plan to have for the forseeable future (all i have to do is change stats/mini-bio to match the "type" or colour aesthetic of whatever avatar i'm using at the time) so i don't have plans on changing it much c: plus, it's two of my favourite colours (blue/pink), so why not keep it for a while?
what about your flairs? what's your inspiration for them, and how often do you change them? let's use this thread to discuss and show off our flairs, yeah? o: |
It was inspired by weeks of thinking and from early renaissance era art.

My flair is old, clunky, and outdated just like me, but seeing Rapunzel every time I post still cheers me up :)
One day I'll get round to getting good 😅 |
It's Edmund Dantes from fgo.
People on here say I'm good at graphics but no where else so I don't really put any effort in them lol |
as of this post my flair (sans background, which probably matches anyway) was made to match my avatar which is a crystal-sprite era bulbasaur that i commissioned. c: the bio/stats and name were all coloured to match its type which is grass/poison.
i was considering changing the font too... still unsure on that. edit: did it. |
I always like the vibrancy in World Trigger’s official art, as well as their manga pages, so I tend to revolve around an image I like and go from there.
I’ve had too much fun with multiple text shadows to quit using them now and I think it’s not seen much else on the forum so I like having that little unique edge. I discovered a way to make different elements custom shapes, so I’ve been messing around with that too with some results definitely better than others… That said, I really like mine so far :) |
i was also wondering: do you adjust your flairs for view in legacy, standard, or both? for mine, i primarily focus on standard, but i... try to make sure it's at least passable on legacy lmao

I rocked some pinkish blueish astronaut avatar for the longest time in the past year and i liked that color scheme very much, matched it with some pinks/blues/yellows in username style and postbit text etc. But now I switched to this even simpler grey/black/yellow scheme and I personally think it's really neat. White background is also just so clean and yeah. I like it. It suits my personality too somehow imo, or at least the way I feel, idk if i always come across as such lmao. just like how angie's colorful happy supercute flairs match her personality <3 |

As for mine I'm trying to get better with learning how to improve my flair. I hope I can at least add an image for the background instead of the solid dark blue, but it does match with Empoleon, so it's not the worst. |

Fairy made 99% of mine, and I just added a my personal touch a la spinny avatar. The parts that Fairy made are perfect and I'mma keep those for years to come. My avatar though, I might change if I ever get tired of this picrew lol.
|
i usually find a pretty background and go avatar-less, and/or position the background to have its focal point where the avatar would normally be. avatars are so 2008 anyways
i kind of miss the early era of flairs when i was the first user on the site to do rotating avatars tho.... sometime i'll bring it back |
My flair is perfect for me. Works in both in legacy and standard and has a rotating Sylveon avatar with rainbows. I’m never changing it.
Though I have thought of doing a rotating background to show off some more cute rainbow stuff but idk yet. I feel like my flair/avatar is so me. |
envious of people who can keep the same flair for extended periods of time. while i can somewhat do the same, there comes a point where i get bored and need to change it (at least, i get bored of the bg after a while). u_u
|
Usually if I set a flair, It stays as it is for 3 months or so, then I think of changing it. I also like those fancy custom mouse pointers like @colours, @Fairy, @Ash Ketchup, but I can't get round them.
I do not know whether my flair looks good or not cuz this time I have put maximum effort on creating Dio's Theme. Can someone say anything about this flair or how to improve it? And also I am too shy to ask anyone out like @Roni asked @Fairy to create flair for me. |

hey how's my new flair

I think your flair looks just fine! But you’re free to send me references and ideas if you want to workshop something different. Durandal and Kitty are also legendary flair builders! I mean, honestly, there’s so much talent, you can’t exactly go wrong, haha. |
I forget what mine is so I'm gonna post and then edit in my thoughts about it
EDIT: Okay cool it's... a lot of blue |

Making flairs is one of my favourite things to do as a creativity fix and "vibe reset", which is why I change mine so often! For some reason, I can never go back to the same flair.
I used to be fixated on making them look good for standard and legacy but these days I cannot be bothered haha My favourite so far is probably one of my very first ones: Spoiler:
|
I love the idea of the flairs ... until I actually have to do them because I'm not the artistically inclined person out there (even though I try, occasionally) and I get bored when trying to generate them programmatically.
So you might think, just do some CSS tricks, there's a lot of cool art for that, but it usually needs more elements than the flair has (or JS, and having either of those on flairs would be a terrible idea). So right now I'm going with a dead simple design, maybe I'll get off my butt and try and design something a bit more complex later on, idk. |
ok ngl i'm keeping this flair, at least until i change to a new pokemon to base it around
but it matches latias so much!! |
I fixed up my old one a little to go with my new name. I still have work to do on it, but a few people were a little confused about who I was since I changed name and flair at the same time, so I put it back 😅
|
I was in the mood for something fresh for the summer!

indecisive about this new flair bg
but then again i always am ;_; |

My flair is simplistic and low effort compared to some of the flairs I've seen so far. After I added some scanlines and a slight drop shadow it looks nice.

My flair was the result of having my house money being burlapsaccked by a criminally bastarized green onion.
It made me poor and unable to donate for support, so I opted to cover such failure by coloring it teal, hiding it with a crosshair cursor, and copy-pasting CSS stuff. |
i should try making a new flair for 2022 but not only i'm indecisive about who to include, i'm also very much trying to make it look ok on both standard and legacy... and i probably over-detail my flairs regardless ^^
i very much love the current one though ♥ |
I like your flairs! wauw. Unfortunately I can't make them myself haha
I saw some pretty awesome things while I was around here. |
Actually nevermind ♥ here's a new flair~

Looking up info on CSS helped me change what I wanted and the fact that it changes right away without having to save every single time made it easier. I can change something and then scroll up and see how it looks...mostly color changes for the text. My background image scrolls when you scroll as opposed to being fixed so you may only see the top part instead of the trees further down. It also makes a difference on whether or not you view your Flair on the left hand side or across the top. Left hand will look much different than across the top. |

I like mine but I'm so very fickle, I can barely go a week before wanting to change again. Quote:

Trying something new and trying to get to grips with making it work properly on mobile

Big shoutout to colours for the rotating avatars code~ I think I'm sticking with this for a while. A rotation of rotations

I’m pretty much on mobile most of the time!
Also still never changing my flair. Pastel rainbows, rotating Sylveon pixel art, this is me. |
one day maybe i'll have a non-white background color again. maybe.
|
y'all have such gorgeous flairs and i'm like mine was just a copy of my profile from almost 10 years ago lmfao
|
You make up for it by having a cute avatar, plus... why fix what isn't broken?
|
Been playing Skyward Sword HD, so... :fufu:
|
My first "photoreal" Blender render!
Still proud of it, though I might like to change it at some point. 😅 |
mine is dope in Left/Legacy style now :3 so, the superior way to view the forums.

On mobile the flair actually looks nice! cool |
I've had mine for so long and I just don't feel like changing it because it's so incredibly... Simple. Doesn't take a lot of work and it works.
|
I like it, reminds me of the old forum themes before we had flairs so it's a nice, nostalgic touch!
|
Ooooooo yours is sooooo spring-like and pretty. I love it.
|
Yeah Hyzen's is really pretty!
I sure didn't stick with mine for long lmao. Well, just the bg pic is changed. Not sure which one I like best. |
I kinda like what I've done with this flair ... except when it's on a big post (such as VPP posts / Challenge updates) with the left side postbit.
Guess I'll have to produce a background that tiles. (Plus, I probably should figure something out for legibility anyways, since some of the stars are being bright around information spots. And yet, I feel that trying to to design for left postbits will make top postbits kinda fugly. The tradeoffs of life.) |
change of flair this time~
|
Ohh that's so pretty, is the avatar commissioned? Love it!!
Also love the new galaxy aesthetic @Shooting Star! And Riki's flairs are always so sleek :chefs_kiss: |

|
I finally figured out how to add an image as the background! I'm not the best with CSS so it took some trial and error.
|
I'm working on mine. I need this thread for inspo.

testing, testing... one.. two...

I just fixed the flair on my profile!! All the colors I used match Empoleon's color scheme. It took me like 30 minutes of trying to figure out which section is which on the editor because I kept forgetting or getting confused. There was a lot of refreshing the profile page after every change, but I finally figured it out!! And it looks pretty good, if I do say so myself. A few different shades of blue, with gold as an accent.

My post flair is still just white with an avatar heh. I added a cute badge to spice it up? |
I will seize the occasion to thank Fairy again for the beautiful flair and signature she made for me!
|
Quote:
And, following Gardy's lead, I will take this occasion as well to thank Kitty, who made my flair. I loved it, but, as the time passes, I love it even more! I changed my signature recently and I am quite happy with the final result, even if I'd still like to improve it. It as all the info (but more will be added later) and every pic has a direct link to something important. It makes my signature pretty interactive. I am very happy of that. If I figure out pop-ups, I might change some of the links. |
