Hey everyone!
I thought up some of my badge ideas and would like to share them with you.
These are just some basic ideas but maybe they can help us come up with even better badges.
Photo Badge
- You have a gamerpic no one else has!
I came up with that idea because there are so many gamerpics on LIVE which literally no one uses. You can check it on mygamercard.net and click on gamerpic scout.
So why not reward someone who is the only one on LIVE with a certain gamerpic? Just an idea.
Jackpot Badge
- You have a 'special' gamerscore!
If you have a special amounth of gamerscore points like 5555 or 12345 then you will be awarded with this badge. When your GS increases the badge will be lost until you reach another funny score.
ROD Badge
- Your Box is currently in repair!
Ok, this is just for jokes but how about making this badge couple with the vacation setting. Meaning you can manually activate this badge BUT then your blog will not update at all. Basically, it’s an alternative for the vacation setting.
Reputation Badge
 and 
- Your Rep is above/under 50%!
A badge which indicates your Rep stats? Anyone?
Top Country Badge
 and  and
- You are ranked under the 20% of your country!
The 20% is just for this example and could be something different. But how about it? Does this sound interesting? Could be something like the 1% badge but its linked with your country on LIVE.
Though luck Badge
- Participated in 50+ challenges but never won!
This is my favourite ^^
NEW Total days played Badge
    
- Played over INSERT DAY HERE days!
The days from "Top 10 games" could be added into this badge.
IN Arcade Badge
Same as the normal IN badge, but only for arcade games.
Thats it. I'm open for suggestions. :)

| I love all those badge ideas and what's best is there isn't any static one which CA, FC and Squid aren't too fond of. I'd love the country one. I'd finally be in the top for something xD |

Nice artwork...
Could you make up a couple streak badges... Maybe a 200 or a 360 or a 500 streak badge. ;) Who knows, maybe it'll get used... |

They're awesome! Both the concept and the artwork...excellent job! 
One or two things though, the RRoD badge and the Tough Luck badge would be surprising to see because they're both for negative things, and the guys have said before they don't want badges for negative things. From that perspective, the rep badge would also be out, unless you just had the max rep badge?
And with regard to the Total Days played badges, are they game specific? i.e. You'd have the badge if you'd played any game over that total number of days? If so I think it works well, if not then surely it's just another streak badge?
My favourite ones have got to be the Jackpot and the Photo badge though. They're some awesome suggestions! I also like the country ones too, though it'll probably be all us non-US ones liking them the most, lol!

Wow, Glad you all like them. :D
Here are some better versions for the "Total played days" badge.
I tried to make them like the ones on the "most played games" list.

I love the idea of the unique Gamerpic one. Imagine what sort of bizarre stuff people here would start using to get that badge?
Tough Luck would have been far more amusing had Fsh not finally won one of his own challenges.
The RRoD one isn't exactly a negative badge per se, it's more like the 360 version of the Purple Heart.

| While we're discussing new badge possibilities, I think it would be fun to have a "you loser" badge, for people who played and beat things like Avatar, EA Score Tracker/Draft Thing, etc... Games (and I use the term loosely for some of these) that nobody would even touch if there were no points attached to them. |

That goes against almost everything the site stands for, and the meta-game that is the GamerScore Challenge. It would never happen.
