Default Custom (graphic) user titles?

I'm pretty sure it's possible. But I don't know how to do it exactly.

1. Is it possible to make custom graphic user titles?
For example, the common user titles used on this forum are 'coder/designer' 'member' 'advisor' 'administrator' etc. I want these to be graphical buttons instead of just plain text. Getting what I mean?

2. How to do it?
3. What should be the appropriate size for these images/buttons?

See examples of what I mean in this screenshot. But this is a mybb forum.
Example: http://prnt.sc/dcx0uj

Yes, you can do that with the "User Ranks" feature of vB. You can use images, or HTML to create badges for your usergroups.

Awesome. I'm gonna have to get the badges made. Can you recommend an appropriate image size, that isn't too small or too big?

I would stick to a maximum width of 180 px if you are using the legacy postbit. At MHB, I designed HTML badges with a width of around 165 px and a height of 19px, 1 px border, and 5px margin top and bottom:

Can you design cool animated badges? Or recommend someone who can do it?
Like these: http://www.cpaelites.com/Thread-New-...Dog-New-Tricks

If yes, please let me know the price per badge.

Those are .gif files. Unfortunately, I don't do that kind of graphic design, nor do I know anyone that does.

There are animations that can be done with CSS as well, but I haven't explored that much.
