Odyssey Voyager

i agree, these comments are all simply suggestions and opinions. you should always go with your heart and make the geocoin truly YOURS. good luck!

great suggestions from everyone. does adding the word "hoot" seem overly cliche? as in: "Who wants to seize the day, when you can have a hoot and own the night?" by the way, i am partial to "script type" fonts. i think they seem to add a little touch of class to every geocoin. i like "palace script" or "freestyle script" or "edwardian script" just to name a few. you can also ask your mint company to suggest an appropiate font for your design.

3 places remaining! get a pair of available numbers now! 38, 39, 48, 49, 51, and 55 are still up for grabs! March Madness Cointest Selections up to post #51: 01. rickctroop13 (post #12) 02.

just 4 more players needed...just pick 2 available numbers. easy and fun! numbers still available are: 25, 36, 38, 39, 48, 49, 51, and 55.

just need 4 more brave souls! c'mon join in the reindeer games!

i'm IN for the fun and games! thanks for the bracketball adventure. email sent.

wow! i started reading last years replies without checking the date! i'm in for the fun and games! this will be great since i can't participate in my own march madness cointest. thanks for another year of madness...and let the games begin!

ooooh...one of my favorite turtle geocoins! i know all about endless emails to and from the mint company! after a year...i would say...133 emails! thanks for offering one of your cool turtles as a prize! i'm still waiting for an invoice too.

got it! i have you down for 29 and 47. thanks for playing.

only 4 more players. please review the latest available numbers from the available number list below and see who has posted since then to determine available numbers. last available numbers still left: 25, 36, 38, 39, 48, 49, 51, and 55.

number 30 has already been picked, i will put you down for 29 but please select another available number.

sorry...i know my story wasn't the history of anything, but i had a bunch of turtle geocoin pictures and i just thought it would be way to connect the pictures to a theme.

Allow me to introduce the latest member of the family...Gnerdle Gnewton. Mission: Gnerdle is what you might call a brainiac, he loves to visit places of intellectual and scientic interest. Museums, Aquariums, Planetariums, Historical Locations, etc. He would also like to eventually get a grand tour of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. or the Louvre in Paris, France. He also likes to enjoy the occasional science fiction and fantasy conventions and have his picture taken with Spock impersonators or other Vulcans or Aliens from the Star Trek television and movie series! If he can't make it to the Louvre, he would love to get close to Area 51, and perhaps hitch a ride to the stars on a spaceship! This would make him the ultimate traveling gnome! To infinity and beyond...

i like it! let me answer a few of your concerns if i can... 1. Is it too cutesy for a coin? Should I just stick with my original idea and make it a pathtag? i think it would make a nice geocoin. 2. To cut out or not to cut out, that is the question. i like the round design. 3. Leave "geocaching" on the front or remove it? hmmm...this might be personal choice, but what about a GPS or a Cache somewhere instead of the word? 4. Do you like the words on both sides or not? well, you can't avoid the writing, its more a matter where to place it. geocoins and pathtags are so small that there really is no perfect place to put them. the bigger question is "are the letters too big or too small"? 5. Sky should I choose to have one: Suggestions on color and anything else that might make it nicer. I considered making it like a sun catcher, but I assume that precludes stars unless I wanted to i like your sky and stars on one side. the reverse side needs more. have you perhaps thought about a horizon with a small sunrise? just food for thought. 6. Moon and stars. Plain, glow, glitter? this design is almost tailor made for some glow colors! 8. Should I add a hole? i'll let others answer here, i have never had a reason to attach anything to a geocoin, but i know some people like the option. 9. Wings Most of the coin I did with shapes in my program. i'm gonna let Jackalgirl offer her suggestions or advice here since she is gifted at design. 10. Can't decide if there should be a star between the owl and moon or not. i like your spacing of the stars. 12. Spell check. double and triple check your spelling. after looking at a design for hours you get used to all the graphics as a design element and forget if its spelled correctly or has grammatical errors. ask your mint company to spell check and grammar check for you too. 13. Track at geocaching.com size and placement again, there really is NO GREAT place to put this. 14. Poem on the back of the head? Yes? No? this location seems appropiate. try using a really nice font if you can. on my first design i used a cheesy font since i expected the mint to replace it with something nice, and they used the same font! if i could do that over again, i'd pick a nicer font. lastly. let me just say that i admire your original work on this! you are truly creating from the ground up. kudos to you! keep up the great job. don't be in too big a hurry, because ideas will continue to come to you everyday, but your work is cool so far.
