+UOTrackers Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) The First Version of the "forums coin" is almost ready to sell, but it's missing something....again....YOU! We need an icon for this coin, something new that's not the actual coin art, something that embodies what this coin is all about! Think you can design such an icon?! Give it a shot, post your entry here in the forums, we'll give you till the end of the week, 11:59 pm on Saturday night (eastern time I'm in SC). Keep in mind the icon must be made in two sizes, 32x32 pixels and 16x16 pixels. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!! We don't have a name for this coin yet! Toss your 2 geocoins worth in and help us name this coin! Post your idea here in the forums before 11:59 pm Saturday (again eastern time) To the Winner of each contest will go a special Artist Edition coin! Winner will be decided by myself and Oakcoins. Edit: Below is the coin in question... Edited February 28, 2007 by UOTrackers Quote

+AtlantaGal Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Coin Mail Geocoin or You've Got Mail Geocoin Quote
+The Geo-Secret Agent Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I have yet to try anything like this so here is my attempt. The Forum Chatterbox Geocoin Quote
+DresselDragons Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) coin name... What's in your mailbox? Edited February 28, 2007 by DresselDragons Quote
+Anthus Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I've been calling it the "What's in your mailbox?" geocoin. Quote
+islander1988 Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I've been calling it the "What's in your mailbox?" geocoin. Yup, that was going to be my suggestion. Since "What Was In Your Mailbox Today!" is the name of the thread, thought it might make sense for it to be the name of the coin. Quote
+DresselDragons Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 You could also call is "who's in your mailbox?", since it has everyone's names on it...but then I have images of a clown car (guess it would be a cacher mailbox), with more and more people filing out of it. Sorry, it's been a loooooong day. Quote
+6 Feet More Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 How about "The Mailbox Mob" coin? or "The Mailbox Madness Mob" coin? Quote
+islander1988 Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Another possibility could be "The Geocoin Forum Community Geocoin". Quote
+Anthus Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 "What's in your mailbox?" for the first version "What else is in your mailbox?" for the second version Quote
+mudsneaker Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) Posters. Post It and They Will Come. the icon has got to be a mailbox...I just dont have the program to make it. Edited February 28, 2007 by mudsneaker Quote
+UOTrackers Posted February 28, 2007 Author Posted February 28, 2007 How many entries per. category per. day, etc.? Well I don't have time to police the thread, so I guess as many as you want. Quote
+~tasia~ Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) 150 Geocachers in Your Pocket A Mailer a Day... (and the 2nd in the series could be called ...Keeps the Coin Addicts at Bay) okay, yes, lame but i've only had 3 hours of sleep in the last 2 days, due to caching!

+Klondike Mike Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Seems more like the "Daily Coinbox" for several of you. Do some of you actually get mail in that thing? (not that it's a bad thing) Quote
+geocachingdragon Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 For a name haow a bout Mail call or Mail role call Quote
general_tupperware Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Geocoin Snail Mail Don't know how to do postable art. I have created a possible icon....It is based on a coin name involving mail... not sure how to post artwork...help??? To post artwork, upload the image to a site (photobucket, imageshack, or geocaching.com profile for example) and then click the picture button on the post, inputting the url. Quote

general_tupperware Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 - Coin each day keeps insanity away. [thats what it seems like for some cachers ] I can see the headline now: MAILMAN ON GEOCACHER'S BLOCK SUFFERS BACK INJURY - Every Cacher's Coin I know I'm trying too hard Quote
+Super_Nate Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Here are some ideas for a name..... Geo-Network coin Network coin Community coin I will work on an icon Quote
+ChadsClan Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 How about "You've got Coins!" for the name? I know that's a derivative of what others have said, but I thought it might work. Quote
+Super_Nate Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) I really think it to be appropriate that this is the icon for the coin..... Resize it to whatever it needs to be...this is the idea to submit. Edited February 28, 2007 by Super_Nate Quote
+GPX Navigators Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Coin Community Community for a Coin Community Treasure - 'cause the people of the community are its treasure. OK - I have to get a new line of thinking going here. Quote
+Team chelmo Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I really think it to be appropriate that this is the icon for the coin..... Resize it to whatever it needs to be...this is the idea to submit. This gets my vote for the icon Is there any other option? As for the name I agree with those posters further up, "Geocoin Forums Community coin" Or "What's in your Mail Box Today". Guess I'm not in the running for the special coin Oh well I will be happy just to get my hands on the standard released coins, which will be coming out to try meet you all Quote
+jAY miLLS Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) I think a (Canceled) stamp would be a good ico. As for the name..."First Class Delivery of the day" Or just "First Class Delivery" I just lack the skill needed to create an adequite icon. Edited February 28, 2007 by Jay Mills Quote
+GPX Navigators Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 For the icon - how about a mailbag with the yellow envelope sticking out? After all - it is the delivery from the mailperson that we are all so eagerly waiting for. Would post a pic but no idea how to resize - or for that matter create - an icon. Quote
+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 How about Coin Community Mailbox? Quote
+wsgaskins Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Name: Geocoin Discussions '07 Icon: (that's a smiley postman with a coin mailer envelope...) I think that the year should be represented in the name to provide for a possible different coin next year, with possibly different set of names on it. After all, this coin represents those who are hyper-active on the forum *thisn* year. Quote
+Hawkbit Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Possible names: Postage Due Coin On Delivery aka COD Quote
+Hawkbit Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Postage stamp? I like that ... very nice Quote
+Hawkbit Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Post to Postage geocoin Posters Postage Quote
+jAY miLLS Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Postage stamp? Yep thats what I am talkin about! Unique and fits the theme. Quote
+Mauison Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 How about "Forum Family" or "Forums Family"? Quote
