Car: G35 Sedan Rep Power: 9 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() ![]() This is what I meant, the gradient didn't work out to well so I put the arrow there. Heck I think it looks better without the arrow. No sure what font your using but I would most likely increase the stroke, cause it's pretty hard to read. |

Rep Power: 31 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | One minor point: why the leading zero on the series number? If it was to fill the space between the text and the arrow, I'd say there was no need for it with the original striped background. |

| Squirrel Mincer | I know people are saying they are hard to read, but personally I don't find that it's a problem at all, and it's only the season numbers that are different when you think about it. How about removing the word 'season' and just have the number, making the chevrons section smaller. The fact that they are the TG seasons could be mentioned elsewhere on the page. ![]() |

Car: '02 Nissan X-Trail, '06 Honda Civic EXi Rep Power: 52 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ^^ You don't actually need to mention it's TG since the url and the link that it leads from both say it. Any way, you people need to finalise it up, either just one arrow like Viper said or the current fade in gradient, or if you want ANOTHER choice just the season number, no need for the word 'season'. |
