Hey guys,

Today I’m really pleased to announce a major update to our PS3 trophy card system. With three new trophy patches hitting PS3 for Warhawk, Novastrike and PAIN recently we felt the time was right to expand our trophy card selection with a new slim alternative that's designed specifically for forum signature spaces (see below), along with a number of new trophy card themes.

And the update doesn't stop there! In addition to the new size and themes, we’ve introduced 'automated level calculation' based off the number & type of trophies you have fully integrated and functioning with a new level progress indicator so you no longer need to constantly adjust or guess your level.

New slim trophy card and themes

New & improved trophy page interface

In addition to the new slim card layout the interface for adding trophies has also been completely revamped, styled and simplified, making adding trophies even easier than before (see below).

Step 1: Create your PS3 Trophycard

The trophy card system is now a two step process. In the first step you get a visual representation of the different layouts to help you choose which trophy card you want (standard or thin). Clicking on one takes you to the next step...

Step 2: Add trophies and PSN ID

The second step is the 'add trophies page' where you can add/edit your trophy collection and watch your card update in real-time as you add all of your trophies and PSN information.

Five new themes for the original card!

And for those of you that prefer to stick with the original design don't worry; we haven’t forgotten about you. In fact we’ve just added five brand new themes (see below) for Pain, Mirror's Edge, Buzz Quiz TV, NovaStrike & PLAYSTATION 3.  You can update your theme to one of the new ones by going here.

Playfire now accepting theme submissions!

And last but not least -- for all you budding designers out there, Playfire is now accepting theme submissions. So if you fancy designing a new trophy card theme for the official Playfire roster, then your next step should be to download this official trophy card template. Once you’ve polished your design to perfection you then just need to email your submission to abby [at] playfire [dot] com.
