+FlyinV Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 We just received these pictures of our coin. They look great, but we asked for no color and they added color to the GC Logo. We think if there is going to be any color, then color all of the background on both sides of the coin black. We also still think no color would look good too! What do y'all think?

+trail hound Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Looks Great!!! Quote Link to comment
+YoGuRt99 +1 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I think Either way they would look great Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I would add the 4 gc colors to logo Quote Link to comment
SCP-173 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 No color! Color is waaaay over rated. Quote Link to comment
+macatac1961 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 That looks great just the way it is, but if it were to change, I agree with no colors at all. Quote Link to comment
+FlyinV Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Just received this: Hi Tim, Painting more of the coin would add to the price, and IMHO I do not think it would look as good with anything else colored even if you left this part painted. In looking closer I see what they did, I had intended for the blocks of the gc square to be raised with the logo recessed into them. They did the opposite and raised the logo and recessed the blocks. You can add more color if you want but I don't think it would add anything to the look. I see three options. - Leave the paint in the gc logo and I recommend not painting anything else. - Have them remove the paint, I still think the boxes will look good but you might want to request a new sample, that may take a week to get. - Remove the paint, then have them reverse the way the gc boxes are and produce a new sample, that will take about a week to ten days just like the first sample. It's your coin and you must be happy with the way it looks, I don't want to push you into deciding one way or the other. Is everything else on the coin ok? I thought they did a great job on the horse. Rusty... Quote Link to comment
+DancesWithMoose Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I would go with either the way it is now or no color. It is a gorgeous coin! Quote Link to comment
+Dreamin'Eagle Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 my opinion for what its worth, no color would be better. I think the black in the GC logo takes away from it, but thats me. Quote Link to comment
+HerrK & Friends Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 The Coin looks beautiful and black is a neutral color, so it doesn't attract attention! It is like Rusty wrote..."It's your coin and you must be happy with the way it looks." So take one choice............. Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) No color! Go with the way you originally wanted (or at least what Rusty suggested about recessing the logo). My humble opinion Rusty is right - the horse is awesome! Edited November 17, 2005 by pdxmarathonman Quote Link to comment

+Nomad and the Librarians Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 The coins look great, but I agree about the color. I'd prefer it without the black background. How can I get one? Are they for sale? How much? Thanks, Nomad of Nomad and the Librarians Quote Link to comment

+FlyinV Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 We are sold out of our 200 bronze editions and are currently taking trade offers only (none will be sold) on our 100 silver editions (less than half of those are left due to confirmed trades and we are keeping some to drop in caches and give away at events). To see what we are looking for (besides personal coins), see our Coin Tracking link in our signature. Thx! Like we posted earlier, we are looking for the coins to be here in about 2 weeks. At that time there should be less than a 24 hour turn around as we have everything prepped and ready to go for shipping. Quote Link to comment
