+sudsfam Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I want to make a geocoin that has a frog perched on top of the earth that says "Please Keep it clean". The manufacturer suggested I check with the forum to see if there's an interest for this coin. I've done the artwork and I know the Earth turtle geocoins are popular. What do you guys think?

Can you post the artwork? I think I know one person who would be interested. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 It sounds nice, but seeing a visual of the concept goes a long way in guaging interest. Quote Link to comment
+DaFunkyFrogs Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Did someone say FROG? Quote Link to comment
+steel city babes Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Would/could you post some artwork for your project... I need to see what it looks like It sounds good in words but I need a visual... Quote Link to comment
+dark_onyx1982 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I agree with the others. It sounds like a really nice concept. I would probably get a few, but a visual would be extremely helpful. Quote Link to comment
+hollora Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I want to make a geocoin that has a frog perched on top of the earth that says "Please Keep it clean". The manufacturer suggested I check with the forum to see if there's an interest for this coin. I've done the artwork and I know the Earth turtle geocoins are popular. What do you guys think? Many posts are asking what this will look like - my question, too. Also, why did the "manufactuer" ask you for this poll? Odd, to me, if you are going to pay to have your coin minted? Most companies have their own art work/design people, who know what works and what doesn't. If you are paying for the coin - they should work with you to get it done. Cache Maine and I had no problem with our "manufacturer" in getting from the conceptual design phase to the mold. It moved quite smoothly and their suggestions were respected and utilized. Tsun's work (Earth Turtles '07 & '08) is very special so I would not use this as a measure. Every turtle is not just a special turtle................ Looking forward to seeing your ideas.

+The_Geomonkeys Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yep, sounds like it could be a very nice idea for a coin. I look forward to seeing the artwork as your project progresses. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment
+sudsfam Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 This is what it looks like. Also, I'm doing the art for them and getting a few free coins. I'm not paying to have them made up. Hope that gives everyone a clear picture! Let me know what you think?!?! Quote Link to comment
+tsunrisebey Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) Overall I like the concept but here is my 2 geocents worth: * Close the gap between the frog's leg and the earth, it looks funny. * Maybe a design or something else to dress the edge up a bit? * The text message, I would change to something a bit different. "Please keep it clean" can mean a number of things Maybe something like; "Keep our planet clean", "Help keep our planet clean", maybe even something like; the top text say's "Keep our planet clean" with the bottom text "Practice CITO", something of the sort, CITO coins are popular, it's a good message. Just my thoughts.... edit to add you can interchange planet with Earth too, whatever... * I think you could really make this coin really cute and very meaningful tsun Edited July 27, 2008 by tsunrisebey Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Beautiful!!! I agree with Tsun, and I also have a crazy idea! Since with the black you probably want to show the space....I would love to see glitter shiny stars, and glowing geogalaxies, or geocomets! What I mean? think a glowing comet with tale, but the head will have the shape of the geocaching sympol, the G one.... I know it sounds crazy....! Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Awww, a hug. (As a reminder: You will have to decide if it will be trackable too, otherwise this thread will be used for trades only.) Quote Link to comment
+nashuan Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Those are great suggestions Tsun and Gatoulis. Quote Link to comment
+Frank n Beck Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 We'd be interested, but agree with tsun and others as to some minor changes made! Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 We'd be interested, but agree with tsun and others as to some minor changes made! Same here. Also, will it be this colorful or raised metal and such. Quote Link to comment
