+allwayslooking_99 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Here is a preview of our new geocoin. We would appreciate your feedback. The colored "arms" will be transparent enamel coloring on both sides, we are thinking of a dull brass as the metal. The coin will be trackable and have its own icon. Quote Link to comment

+allwayslooking_99 Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Wow I should have thought this out before I posted it,lol. Number of coins: 400 to be sold, 500 minted. We want to drop the other 100 in caches. The coins will be sold at geocoinstore. The coin has been approved by Groundspeak. Hope I got it all. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 You've got almost all of it Any idea the timeframe this coin will be sold at the geocoinstore? Quote Link to comment
+allwayslooking_99 Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 That is one question I cannot answer. But a good guess would be in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment
+Mauison Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Just a little note: there should be an apostrophe in "it's" as in "it is". But overall nice design! Quote Link to comment
gridlox Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 If the $$$ is there when you sell these, I'd be in for a couple. Reallly nice design! Simple, BUT very appealling to the eye. D-man Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 You asked... Your avitar has a nice use of color. Your coin uses the Groundspeak colors which pretty much clash. I'd find a better color balance, keep your idea on the translucent, drop the grounspeak logo for something that represents you and make it more of your coin than an adaptation of the grounspeak corporate colors. The lines that bend up are a simple design that stands out, they frame your subject. On the one side that subject is the 99, on the other it's the Logo... Quote Link to comment

+Team Sand Dollar Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I am interested in 2 coins. Will you be trading any? If not I would buy. Team Sand Dollar Quote Link to comment
+fox-and-the-hound Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) Just a couple thoughts on your design. First, if you're going to use translucent enamels over a "yellow" metal like brass, it's going to mess up your colors. Nickel/Silver might be more appropriate, but talk to your minter and get some samples of both. Second, you have a great sort of "rainbow" element going on, but the colors are clashing a bit because of the order. This might look better in reality, but I'd like to see blue-green-yellow-orange or it's reverse order. It should only support the general look overall. The last thought is that you might consider alternate fonts for the 99. The font is very "light" and might lack the impact of a heavier font. You wouldn't necessarily need to use a san serif just maybe a semibold or bold of your current font. Just thinking out loud so don't be discouraged. You have a strong design that's going to look great. - F&tH Edited February 17, 2006 by fox-and-the-hound Quote Link to comment
+allwayslooking_99 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Here are a couple of icon ideas for the coin We want to thank fox-and-the-hound for the art for the icons. Quote Link to comment
+Cav Scout Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 If the your geocoin was not for sale and trade only I would be interested. Otherwise nice coin. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I like the first icon best, but both are very nice. Quote Link to comment
