+merkman Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) I am looking for someone to redesign the icon for the CACHE MN geocoin. Here is a pic of the coin Here is the current icon. ( I like it. It just needs to be cleaned up) Please post your ideas in this thread. There should be 2 icons - 1 16 X 16 pixels and 1 32 X 32 pixels. I will choose the winning design November 17 2006 and the winner will receive 2 free sets ( 2 gold 2 silver ) of CACHE MN geocoins. Let me know if you need more details. Thanks merkman Edited October 31, 2006 by merkman Quote Link to comment

+stickerooni Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Love the coin! Here's my shot: few more for kicks, trying to stick with your color scheme: It's not my call, but I really like the last one! Quote Link to comment

+MustangJoni Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 #4 is still my favorite. I can't tell what #8 is. Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 #4 is still my favorite. I can't tell what #8 is. #8 is the state seal but definately a little small to make out the detail. I have a few more ideas i will post later on today. Jayman11 Quote Link to comment
+oldnavy59 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 #4 looks the best Quote Link to comment
+ByrnedFish Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) **oops, i didnt see #6, i guess they are pretty much the same Edited October 31, 2006 by ByrnedFish Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 #4 looks great at 32x32, but might not look so good at 16x16 (in fact, you might want to use #4 for the 32x32 and #5 for the 16x16) Quote Link to comment

+MustangJoni Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Okay, now I like #14 too! Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 So can you give my icon a number so it can be voted on? Quote Link to comment
+merkman Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 16 is already taken by Centris' Experience MN coin. Quote Link to comment
+merkman Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 I think this is what we have so far. Let me know if I missed anyone. 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: Quote Link to comment

+NeverSummer Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) As an owner of the coin, I would say #4 or #19. 19 is great with the loon, but 4 seems to fit this specific coin better. BTW, merkman, I really like the coins! You next coin should use the loon "Critical Habitat" license plate and have #19 as the icon. (I used to have those plates back when I lived in MN) Cheers!

Yeah I stayed away from the loon cause it just didnt go with the coins theme. Thought it would be nice to keep the coin and icon somewhat similar.

+merkman Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 There are some rumblings about a Minnesota loon coin coming out in the future so I would like to keep the loon icon reserved if that does happen. Quote Link to comment
+merkman Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Thanks to everyone on the compliments for the coins. I am VERY happy with the way it turned out and the entire process actually. merkman Quote Link to comment

+J10fly Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I'm tapped....i think #4 seemed to be the hit though! Jayman11 Quote Link to comment
+NeverSummer Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I say #4, but #21 also has some potential. It reminds me of the bluffs near Winona....kind of. Quote Link to comment

+Scoutbound Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 After looking at all the other entries I realized I didn't have a chance, but I'll submit my entry anyways. Tried to keep it nice and simple, and added a tree for good measure. Quote Link to comment
