+merkman Posted October 31, 2006 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
+J10fly Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) Love the coin! Here's my shot: few more for kicks, trying to stick with your color scheme: Edited October 31, 2006 by jho135 Quote
+stickerooni Posted October 31, 2006 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
+J10fly Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Me too! Thanks! I forgot this one I did too: Goes with the license plate theme there. Quote
+J10fly Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Another....first thing i really think of for some reason with MN is the viking! LOL Quote
+merkman Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 I like the different ideas and comments. Keep em' comming. Quote
+J10fly Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I like the different ideas and comments. Keep em' comming. Cool, if there is anything in particular you are shooting for let me know....here's one more at the end (MN State Seal). Can you tell I would love to get a set of these coins? LOL...plus i love making this kinda stuff. 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: Jayman11 Quote
+MustangJoni Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 #4 is still my favorite. I can't tell what #8 is. Quote
+J10fly Posted October 31, 2006 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
+ByrnedFish Posted October 31, 2006 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
+Marky Posted October 31, 2006 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

+webscouter. Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 So can you give my icon a number so it can be voted on? Quote
+merkman Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 16 is already taken by Centris' Experience MN coin. Quote
+merkman Posted October 31, 2006 Author 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

+NeverSummer Posted November 1, 2006 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. Jayman11 Edited November 1, 2006 by jho135 Quote
+merkman Posted November 1, 2006 Author 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
+merkman Posted November 1, 2006 Author 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
+NeverSummer Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 A few more: 20: 21: 22: 23: 24: 25: Cool icons! Unfortunately, there aren't mountains in Minnesota to speak of. I guess the North Shore has some "mountains", but not quite as "peak-y". Good work, methinks! Quote
+merkman Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 Any other ideas or comments? I like what I see so far. Quote
+J10fly Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I'm tapped....i think #4 seemed to be the hit though! Jayman11 Quote
+NeverSummer Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I say #4, but #21 also has some potential. It reminds me of the bluffs near Winona....kind of. Quote
+J10fly Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Any verdict on the icon to use? #4? Jayman11 Quote
+Team Henzlik Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Another....first thing i really think of for some reason with MN is the viking! LOL If they would get their offense in gear this one might be in the lead. Quote
+The 4 F's Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I like #4 - it goes well with your coin. Quote
+Scoutbound Posted November 20, 2006 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
