+maldar Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) Hello again everyone, After learning some bad news from a friend I decided to work on this design. The first image is the rough draft I did in about one minute. The following image took me the last few hours, with the help of a photo of the GPS unit. To my knowledge there are no other pins like this, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Would there be much interest in this design? Ideas on improving the image are welcome as always. My idea was to help raise funds for my friend's father. They don't have insurance and I was planning on all proceeds going to help pay medical bills. All future sales after these bills have been covered would donate not less than $1 to help locate the coordinates for a cure. To GC.c, I hope my post does not break any rule, please edit what you must. I'm just trying to help a friend. Thanks, maldar Edit: image Edited June 29, 2008 by maldar

Flying Spaghetti Monster Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Are you planning on making this pin trackable? If not, we can't allow it to be discussed/sold here.

+theGeOJos Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 I love this! I'd be sure to buy one, or maybe a couple because cancer is a common nuisance in my family and my other geocaching relatives would like one as well.
+maldar Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) Are you planning on making this pin trackable? If not, we can't allow it to be discussed/sold here. I was considering it, but I'm not sure if there was enough interest nor enough space for the wording on the back of the pin. I need to check with some pin makers about that, but it is still the weekend. If I have to I can take it off site. maldar Edit: Spelling Edited June 29, 2008 by maldar
+Geo.Error Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 i like your design also as a geocoin. special when the coin is track-able
+pghlooking Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 There was a Breast Cancer Awareness coin done sometime ago that used the trademarked pink ribbon. GACacher was behind that one so I am sure he could advise you on using the trademarked logo and how he went about getting permission to use it so you aren't violating anything copyrighted. Good luck.
+Ilonka1980 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Maybe there is also interest in a trackable GC like this. You can give the GPS different Colors. Like the idea. (but i don't collect pins)
lorca.nl Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 thank you for doing this for your friend Maldar. i`m sorry for your friend father, i know how hard it is and i`m gonna for sure buy one.

If it's not, you'll need to handle this offline - including NOT using these forums to announce it, gain interest, etc. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks.
