All the old/new total life members?Icon ideas?

Just wondering if GK will make an updated list for everyone to view sometime soon with respect to all the total life members and levels?I'd be interested in knowing who we all are!
Also,it was previously touched upon about the idea of perhaps having a different kind of Icon by the life members name,instead of just a gold or silver pawn,like every other premium member.Perhaps a double pawn icon?A flame or beacon icon that flickers?
Any new icon ideas here to suggest to GK?Or shall the life members simply remain somewhat
reticent about their level as the years go by?

A knight instead of a pawn as icon would be cool

I would be happy to be able to see the difference between Gold/Platinum/Titanium and a sort of special outline for the lifetimers

With regards to a life members symbol,i'm different.I prefer the unique and unusual.
My choice would be something like a Knight or Pawn or Rook....but upside down!Like a queened Rook(remember the old days playing OTB?).Pawns of any size,color or outline are so blah and boring to me!A beacon type of symbol would be appropriate as well representing a player that has reached a unique level higher than others and perhaps a symbol of special support and hope to the GK site.

Just something that pops in my mind while reading this thread..

The icon for a lifetime member can be.
A golden pawn that keeps the flag of the chess clock from falling.

How about a simple line-up of...

Pawn for Silver;
Knight or Bishop for Gold;
Rook for Platinum;
Queen for Titanium;
And a tall-standing, shiny gold King for Lifetime

All those ideas sound great.I was thinking,however,of something "glowing" for life members like the online status dot,but in the shape of a chess piece.I know...too way out,but not impossible!

Baron,
Yes,well being raised in the "psychedelic age"and playing in bands that sang..."In A Gadda Da Vida",White Rabbit,Tip Toe Through The Tulips and those type of songs,i'm for the strobe and freaky stuff...thus any kind of chess icon that can resemble the "cool" times...i'm for!
I mean,can't you tell by my freaky spaced out avatar alone?
I wear a business suit now,but the memories are still there!
I suppose halo's are ok too!But chances are nothing will change anyway!

How about a dancing giraffe with top hat and cane?

But seriously, if such a thing goes ahead, I would prefer it to be something subtle.

A honey bee moving around the screen and making a buzzing sound when you click on it. What, is this a chess site?

I prefer a ringtone when you come across my profile with the best singer and song ever heard in the history of music:
Click on the Utube video and prepare for the best!Enjoy!

The best singer and song????

If this was a joke I am LMAO. If not, strange taste in music, LOL. I prefer any music by Moby.

He's not alone ...

Tiny Tim is in good company there with other one-hit wonders like Billy Ray Cyrus singing Achy
Breaky Heart.

Personally, I'm going for Percolator (Twist) by Billy Joe and the Checkmates ...

easy....

....has a good suggestion IMHO. And fwiw, I would hope that several ideas for Lifetime icons would be presented, and that we lifers would get a chance to vote on it - but don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart....(I just don't think he'd understand).

Ideas ?!

Aleph, or ...

Pawns with Mirror-Ball Heads for Premium Member, and for LIFERs; a Q with LaserCrown to be noticed when they come among us pawns. Except TacticalAbyss gets a StrobingCrown King, for suggesting this. All Bishops with be equiped with 8-Track players in their cheshire grin and black light atop the diadem, and play Watchtower, WhiteRoom, or anything sung by Grace Slick or involving Strawberry/ies. Colors will no longer be Black and White, but LectricGreenNeon and PurplePeopleEater. Extra Queens must be Fusia. (except for Heinzkat, all pieces shall be Gold) All Rooks will wear TopHats. And the Knights shall kiss the sky ... Gameknot shall be renamed "ichessadelia_man" and the Next puzzle prize is a G T O

I think this would be helpful, especially with a difference between Gold/Platinum/Titanium icons as heinzkat mentioned. It would also make it easier for captains to determine who could be promoted to co-captain.
