+Grimlock Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Ok, I tried doing the icon myself for my upcoming coin but it just wasn't as good as it should be. (by the way, i posted this in the other thread but didn't get any feedback so I figured the topic might draw some of our fellow icon designers). Details for the coin are located here. I'd like for the icon to include the state of Texas and something else. I was initially wanting the small Texas/4Runner image on the back to be the icon ... but my software just never made it appear right (maybe you have something better). The person whose icon I select will get a Dyeing Black Finish of my coin (only 15 of these will be minted). You can either post the icon here or e-mail it to me via my profile link. Thanks for reading this! The pics are on the link but just for convenience: Quote Link to comment

+Grimlock Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 Thanks for all the excellent responses ... what do y'all think? Also, i'm not opposed to having something totally different than what i was thinking. Quote Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I like the TX with giraffee spots from Fox n Hound, now thats an icon that will start a conversation. Too cute. Quote Link to comment
+The Blind Acorn Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 yup i like tx w/ giraffe spot coloring. Quote Link to comment
+Grimlock Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 I liked the idea of putting the spots in the state, here is one step further on that thought: Quote Link to comment
+UOTrackers Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I liked the idea of putting the spots in the state, here is one step further on that thought: I tried to take the state of texas and turn it into a giraffe but it didn't come out so good when I tried, perhaps someone could try that?

+Grimlock Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 Here are the options so far, whaddya think?? 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 My vote is still for #4 Quote Link to comment
+Grimlock Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ok, i must admit, i'm partial to the flag . . . will this be ok, or is it better left on a white background: Better 1: OR Better 2: Either way, Fox-and-the-hound gets the winning design. I appreciate everyone's input on this. By the way, the company is supposed to get the proof today or tomorrow and then it will be 2-3 weeks before i have them in hand!!! Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Since it's your coin, pick the one you like. I still like the white background better cause it's less "busy." Quote Link to comment
+martinp13 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I like the number of spots on #2, the coloring of #4, and the flag background from #6. And an egg roll on the side, please. I like the giraffe idea, regardless. Good job everyone. Quote Link to comment
