- I hope to get rid of these rather cartoonish insignia at some point. I'm drawing some using vector graphics. Larger, more accurate shapes, better color, much finer detail. - Wguynes 19:23, Apr 3, 2004 (UTC)

John, I have no objection to your basic concept. I see your desire to make them left to right in order of seniority ranking and have submitted a temporary compromise. I think I can do better. My view is that a person visiting here is to get see the insignia first, and any descriptive text second. At least, that was the point when I designed all 8 of the armed forces insignia pages to begin with (see the navigation box for the other examples). I'm thinking of a way to cut this recent version down even more vertically without sacrificing having it hug the left border. I moved the specialist left, and moved the SMA down to E-9. How does it look for you? - Wguynes 01:27, May 3, 2004 (UTC)
- I see a lot of wasted space. (My view is roughly like your screenshot was) Why insist on a full page width table? A casual reader will not scroll down and read the addendum text. Do we change the other 7 pages? I think, with some work, I can address the verticalness of current version by using tables within outside table, thereby flattening some of the text and using some of the empty space. - Wguynes 01:59, May 3, 2004 (UTC)
