This is one of those posts I know I’m going to be updating regularly. Still, it pays to get started so here we go:
1. Starcount widget
A glitzy style from Starcount
Starcount’s widget does a good job of showing the ranking numbers in a big bold, and interesting font.
2. Propeller’s Tech Influence 25
PR agency, Propeller, did a great job of making a leaderboard look like an infographic as they did with the UK’s tech influence 25 recently.
3. Dollywagon’s Market Researcher Leaderboard
What’s nice about this leaderboard is that it shows the Bio so you get more information on each player.
4. Leaderboarded Definitive Theme
This is Leaderboarded’s definitive theme. It heroes the leaderboard over other copy on the page and the up and down arrows give a clear sense of quite interesting volatility.
5. CityAM’s map leaderboard
I liked the way CityAM combined geolocation, in this case cities on a map with leaderboard rankings.
6. Metro’s influence 100
Here Metro dispensed with rankings altogether and opted for a simple list with highlighted players in a side image.
7.MTV’s VMA Blogfast Leaderboard
Using Leaderboarded MTV customised the look of their leaderboard to fit with their on-air creative
If you’re a designer reading this then let me set you a challenge – my Leaderboarded tool allows 100% customisation – yes, 100%, that means you can leave the engineering side of running, calculating and displaying a leaderboard to us – you then get to focus on how it looks. Pop me an email and I’ll send you details of how to create your own leaderboarded theme. Or if that sounds too much work send me a Zip file with your fully marked up Leaderboard in HTML (please include any CSS, Images and JS files and we’ll make our Leaderboard tool work for you.) We reserve the right to charge for this service if it’s for a commercial project.
