Scaling chest emblems

As I roll up another alt (yeah, yeah) I find myself looking at the chest emblems - specifically on the male characters (though this is also true, at times, on female.) And I realize I rarely use them.

Why?

Too damn big. Even shirts with logos on them don't *tend* to have them as a *giant* item right on the chest. There are several I'd love to use - but they end up either looking silly or not really "fitting" where I'd like them. (Such as a radioactive symbol going well past the pattern I'm using on the top.)

I'd like to see an option to adjust the scale - down, yes, but up as well (though, given the size of the items, I think "up" would be limited.) This would also be applicable to the SG emblems. (And if they ever give us the opportunity to put these on capes and/or on the back, there, as well.)

Now, some would have to be disallowed - the actual chest "items" like Stealth straps, bandoliers and the like, it wouldn't make sense to do this with. (Then again, I'd like to see "physical chest items" separated out, personally.) But I know I'd find myself using the (metric tonne or five of) chest symbols FAR more often if several of them didn't look so outsize and silly as they sit right now.

("Pipe dream" would be to be able to move them around on the chest, too - so I could put the Radioactive symbol where a badge would be, for instance, or move a symbol onto the actual "clothing" of Tops with Skin, especially on a female - most of mine wouldn't have (for instance) a stag tattooed right in the middle of their chest.)

I could get behind this idea. If they couldn't do the scaling, perhaps different size and placement options.

I'd like this idea.

Signed. I can literally count on one hand the number of chest details that don't look ridiculous on anything besides a solid-color spandex top.

I would love not just scale them, but to be able to re-position them to either side like a badge or to the shoulder like a patch or even to the back or cape.

But then I always want a lot!

Let's not stop there. I say fix them in all the ways they need to be fixed.

1) make a pass on all costume pieces and fix the cases where you get "levitating emblem"

2) fix all the emblems so they scale properly into larger versions (for Shields)

3) Update the list of available SG emblems.

4) last (and probably most important to me) fix the way a lot of edging and "white" space on emblems turns into see through holes in my chest when I'm under the effect of certain buffs, auras, and powers.
