matwell Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 United States * Canada – United We Stand Artwork was not approved as is, miscommunication between mfg and Goundspeak. Now that that is over, I would like suggestions on how to change the back of the coin. The logo can stand out over a single color. Like if the back was all black the logo could stand out in silver. My other thought was getting the coin cut in the shape of the star/leaf and adding necessary text to back. Input is appreciated as it has been all along. Quote Link to comment
+Big JohnP Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) The front of the coin is OK, just change the logo on the back to the right colors and everything. That should make it all right. Edited October 3, 2006 by Big JohnP Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I know you wanted to have the GC logo in the 3 colours of the 2 flags, but what if you did just put it in the 4 colours of the real logo? That seems to be the only problem with it (unless I missed something else). Doing the shape of the star/leaf would make an interesting non-symmetric coin, but then I'm guessing you'd have to completely redo the back to fit on the text from the front. Quote Link to comment
Copper's Crew Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Great coin - hopefully you can get the issues ironed out. I think the coin will be fine with the 4 colour logo. I would like a couple when you have them ready! Quote Link to comment
Flying Spaghetti Monster Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Ok, if I knew you were going to continue the discussion, I wouldn't have locked the thread for you. In the future, there's no need to open a new thread - just continue using the old one. Thanks. - FSM Quote Link to comment
+MommyFinder Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I like the black background with silver logo (did you say you can do that?), but if you do the regular 4 color logo, I'll buy it, too! The star/leaf cutout could be interesting, but don't lose the wording on the front of the coin in the process. Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I like the silver background with black logo (did you say you can do that too?) How about putting your caching name on the back in place of "trackable at geocaching.com" and move that to the smaller language place? That would make it your personal coin rather than a generic coin. Looks interesting. Quote Link to comment
+GBOTS Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Lose the logo, completely. And add you caching name to make it a personal coin Quote Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) I like the coin and would buy or trade for it. A solid color logo would be nice. But I think you should do the shape and drop the logo all together or make it smaller on the back. Ok, if I knew you were going to continue the discussion, I wouldn't have locked the thread for you. In the future, there's no need to open a new thread - just continue using the old one. Thanks. - FSM Umm oh pasta-rific one the other thread belonged to someone else.......

+fox-and-the-hound Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Maybe three concentric rings of the colors with the metal-only logo placed on top? Quote Link to comment
Prowler53 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Get rid of the logo and add a USA and Canada Map in the same colors. Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hhmmm, New user, no finds, no hides and the coin was listed for sale on eBay already? Think I'm gonna sit back and watch this one. Popcorn anyone? Quote Link to comment
matwell Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Login issue with my other account Atwell Family. Please check it out. (open ticket with Groundspeak) I am a new user and I have jumped in both feet first. Made some mistakes and have taken note and tried to rectify, look at the post: pulled e-place listing, had open discussion with regards to coin and logo. I am not just trying to make a buck on some coin here. I am just trying to jump in and get the kids really going. Think this is a great thing to do as a family hence the different login name. I understand people have been burned here and I am not trying to do that. My plan for release was to get a pre-production sample that will cost 25-50% of the total production cost. I thought that would help with some of these concerns. I would only invoice after the pre-production sample was completed and on display. Therefore I would be the one risking that cost up front and it would show my commitment to produce the coin. Don’t judge all new comers with slighted eye. I’m persistent and think it is a good idea for family and kids. Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Just being cautious - I'm sure you can appreciate that, can't you? Quote Link to comment
matwell Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 For sure, that is why the pre-production coin I was planning. Thought that might help. Quote Link to comment
+Nikon-Guy Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Get rid of the logo and add a USA and Canada Map in the same colors. I'm for this suggestion... Quote Link to comment
+hybridgeek Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Personally, I really like the coin as is! It sounds like the logo has to be in the GC colors, but that seems to me like it would mess with the dynamics of the coin. The idea of the US/Canada map on the side instead of the GC logo sounds nice too, but I'd have to see a version before fully giving my opinion. -Hybridgeek Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Umm oh pasta-rific one the other thread belonged to someone else....... Hmmm... yes, I believe it was me. But my question was answered, so I don't mind that it got closed. Given it stirred some people up a bit perhaps it was best. Quote Link to comment
+supertbone Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I like that coin! Quote Link to comment
